CORN EXCHANGE.

The settlement of our dispute with America had a
depressing influence on the wheat trade in the whole of the
country markets held on Saturday. The business trans-
acted was limited, at, in mast instances, is to 2s per quarter
less money. Flour and all other articles were dull, and
rather drooping.

The French markets continuo extremely quiet for wheat,
spring corn and flour. In America, the demand for bread-
stuffs has fallen off, and prices have had a downward
tendency.

The arrivals of English produce up to our market, last
week, were very moderate. From abroad, we received
56,906 quarters of wheat, 4,601 barley, 11,883 oats, 95
beans, 932 peas, 3,746 tares, 10,696 linseed, 3,983 rapeseed,
6,588 maize, 299 seeds, and 58,060 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng-
lish wheat were very limited, and the condition of the
samples was by no means firs' -rate. For all qualities
—owing to the settlement of the American difficulty, as well
as to the largo importation of foreign wheat—tbe trade was
very dull, and sales could only be effected by submitting to
a reduction in prices, compared with Monday last, of from
is to 2s per quarter.
The show of samples of foreign wheat was large, and the
demand for all descriptions was in a very sluggish state, at
a decline in the currencies realised on this day se'nnight
of from is to fully 2s per quarter.
Floating cargoes of grain were very dull, and the quota-
tions gave way quite is per quarter.
Malting barley was in steady request, and prices were
well maintained. Grinding and distilling sorts, however,
moved off slowly on former terms.
The malt trado was dull, and late rates were barely
supported.

Oats were in steady request, and the quotations ruled
firm, the supply on offer—both English and foreign—being
•n!y moderate.

Beans were in fair supply?, and moderate demand, at the
late decline in their value.

Peas moved off slowly,: yet no change took place in the

currencies.

For flour the trade was very dull. Country marks were
is per 2801bs. ; and American barrels fully is cheaper than
on Monday last.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEL
There was only a moderate supply of foreign stock on
offer here to-day, yet the demand for it ruled heavy at
drooping prices.

The arrival of beasts from our own grazing districts, as
well as from Scotland, was tolerably good; from Ireland
limited. The general quality of all breeds was very good.
Owing in some measure to the heavy sale for meat in the
dead markets, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at a
decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of
fully 2d per Mb ; the best Sects sold at 4s Blb por 81b.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 2,000 Scots and short horns, and crosses; from
other parts of England, 800 various breeds ; from Scotland,
470 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 180 oxen and
heifers.

Nothwithstanding that the supply of sheep was rather
limited as to number, and deficient in quality, all breeds
moved off heavily at 2d to 4d per 81b less money. The
best Downs realised 5s 4d per 81b. A few pens sold at 5s 6d
per 81b.
Calves—the supply of which was good—were very dull
at Thursday's decline in the quotations of 2d per 81b. The
top price was 5s 4d per 81b.

We have to report a very dull market for pigs, at quite
2d per Slb less money.
