CORN EXCHANGE.—MONDAY.
MARK-LANE.
Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
fairly supplied with English wheat, yet the demand for all
kinds ruled steady, at an advance of fully ls. per quarter.
At the outports, fine foreign wheats were held for higher
rates. Barley, especially malting parcels, changed hands
fully at ls. per quarter more money. Malt, oats, beans, and
flour were quite as dear ; but peas had a downward tendency.
The latest advices from New York state that flour had
advanced 10 cents per barrel. All grain was quite as dear.
In the Continental markets, the trade has ruled steady, at
full currencies, with fair average supplies on offer.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain
were on the increase. From abroad, we received 48,695
quarters of wheat, 5,638 barley, 23,776 oats, 366 beans, 1,914
peas, 94 tares, 9,429 linseed, 713 rapeseed, 158 mustard
seed, 478 sundry seeds, and 2,410 barrels of flour.
Fresh up. to-day, the receipts of English wheat coastwise
w ere very moderate. By land carriage the supply was by
no means large, but in much better condition than of late.
On the whole, the show of samples—many of which were
left over from Friday last—was good. Notwithstanding
that the arrivals of foreigh wheat, last week, were extensive,
and that numerous cargoes are being bonded in warehouse,
holders of home-grown wheats were very firm in their de-
mands. The demand, however, was decidedly less active
than last week, and a total clearance was not effected till a
late hour. In the quotations we have not the slightest
change to report. A few parcels of wheat sold for forward
delivery, at late figures.
We were somewhat largely supplied with foreign
wheat, the general quality of which was far from fine.
Good heavy qualities were taken to a moderate extent, at
full quotations. Low and middling kinds sold heavily, but
we have no alteration to notice in their value.
Floating cargoes off Falmouth were quite as dear as last
week—the demand on Irish account being steady.
Although the supply of English barley was rather exten-
sive, and in good condition, that grain moved off freely at
the extreme rates paid last week. Foreign parcels were very
firm.

There was an improved sale for malt, the prices of which
were well supported.
The aggregate show of oats being large, the oat trade was
less active; nevertheless, late arrivals were supported.
Beans—The supply of which was on the increase, sold to
a fair extent, at full prices.
There was rather more inquiry for all kinds of peas. In
the quotations, no chat ge took place.
The flour trade was stetv'y, and prices well supported.

SMITHFIELD.
Although 212 Oxen and 257 Sheep were lost on passage
from Tonningen, the imports of Foreign Stock into London,
last week, were large, viz., 8,202 head. During the same
period in 1851, they amounted to 6,941 ; in 1850, 7,800; iII
1849, 4,608 ; in 1848, 5,056 ; and in 1847, 3,471 head.

There was a very extensive supply of foreign stock on offer
in to-day's market, but its general quality was inferior. The
arrivals of Beasts from our own grazing districts were un.,
usually extensive, even the time of year considered, and We
observed a slight improvement in their general condition, yet
it was decidedly inferior for the season. The total number of
Beasts in the market exceeded 6,000 head; hence, the de-
mand for all breeds was in a depressed state, at a decline in the
quotations of 2d per Blbs, and several hundreds were turned
out unsold. The top figure for the best Scots was 3s 8d per
81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 2,800 short horns; from other parts of
England, 600 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 100
horned and polled Scots. The supply of Sheep being on the
increase, the demand for that description of stock ruled heavy.
In some few instances, the primest Old Downs realized last
Monday's prices, viz., 4s 6d per 81bs, but all other breeds
gave way 2d per 81bs. We had a very slow sale for Calves,
the number of which was good, at Friday's decline in the
quotations. The show of Pigs was tolerably extensive
nevertheless, the Pork trade ruled steady, at late rates.
