THIS D?,

MARKET

CUti. EXCHAIN6L.-(240.ti .f.)
Mos' of the country markets held on Satirelav were
tolerably well, but tot to say heavily, supplied with borne`
grown Wheats, in which a very limited business wa. doing,
at further depressed rwes. At the outports, Foreign Whet"
were the turn in favour of buyers. The Malt trade having
become heavy, from must of the brewers being well in stock,
Malting Barley was very dull arid tower to purchase.
grinding and distilling sorts commanded very little attention.
Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour were offering on easier terms.
The Flour trade in France has become firm. at enhanced
currencies. Large purchases of Wheat have bean Lffected
for Holland and Belgium. The Western markets have ruled
less active. The latest accounts from New York are to the
effect that holders of Flour were tolerably firm.
The a-rivals of English Gain up to our market last week
were small. From abroad we received 5,340 quarters of
Wheat, 1,125 Barley, 14,197 Oats, 8 Peas, 1,042 'fares, 148
sundry Seeds, and 3,19 ti sacks of lour.
Fresh up to our marker, to day, the receipts of
Wheat.
coastwise from Essex and Kent, were very moderate, but in
excellent conuition. From the east coast the arrivalsd were
last
small; but we had a slight increase in those by lan car-
riage from Cambridgeshire, &c. Although several of
Monday's unsold qualities were again brought forward, the
show of samples of both Red and White was very moderate
for the time of year; nevertheless. owing to the pressure
of French Flour, and the unwillingness on the part of the
millers to get into stock, the demand for all kinds of Wheat
of home produce ruled very inactive, but no actual decline
took place in the value of any quality. Towards the close
of business a total clearance had not been effected.
For forward delivery very few transactions took place;
but the growers were not inclined to accept lower rates.
The quantity of fresh foreign Wheat brought forward was
small, and we were very moderately supplied with granaried
samples. Selected qualities moved off slowly, yet holders
were firm. In low and middling kinds so little was doing
that the quotations were almost nominal. For shipment, we
heard of no transactions; but floating cargoes of EgYPtiarl
were taken for Holland at 293., all charges included.
The few parcels of Malting Barley on show were taken at
previous rates. Grinding and distilling sorts moved off
hete,ily, at late figures.
Notwithstanding that the supply of Malt ready for deliverf
was comparatively small, the trade was very dull, and late
currencies were with difficulty supported.
The supply of home-grown Oats was very limited, that of
foreign tolerably good. tin the whole the trade was steady,
at about stationary prices.
Beans, the show of which was but moderate, moved off
slowly at last Monday's currency.
In Peas next to nothing was doing. Prices, however Well
supported.
Indian Corn, afloat, was dull, but not cheaper.
The Flour trade was in a depressed state, at the rates de-
clared in the quotations—the nominal top price of English
being 403 per 280Iba.

The supply of foreign stock in to-day's market was compa-
ratively small; but large numbers of Beasts came fresh to
hand from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scot-
land, in excellent condition ; indeed, very few inferior breeds
were brought forward. Notwithstanding that the weather
was favourable for slaughtering, and that the attendanc amore
eure
of
buyers was tolerably numerous, the overwhelming
of the supplies, both here and in Newgate and Leadenhall,
produced unusual heaviness in the Beef trade. The middling
and inferior breeds of Beasts gave way in vales quite 2d.
whilst the currencies of the best Scots, Short Horns,
4d per 81b, and large numbers left the market unsold.
The extreme top figure for the primest Scots_
was 3s 4d per Blbs, whilst good qualities of
the same breed sold at only 3s 2d. Fronl

For the time of year we were heavily supplied with Sheep,
the general quality of which was good. The trade was ex-
cessively heavy, at a fall in the quotations of quite 2d Pe!
81bs. The extreme price of the best old Downs, in the wool.
was 4s 2d p r Blbs, whilst good selling weights were sold at
only 48 per 81bs. Old Downs, out of the wool, sold at from
3s 4d to 3s 6d per 81bs, and clearance was not effected.
