MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the leading country markets held on Saturday
were but moderately supplied with wheat, in which only
a limited business was transacted, at about stationary
prices. Barley, the supply of which was trifling, realised
very fall currencies. In the value of malt no change took
place. Oats were firm, and somewhat dearer. Beans,
peas, and flour commanded full currencies.
Nearly the whole of the continental markets have ruled
steady, not only for wheat, but likewise for all other ar-
ticles. The latest advices from New York state that new
wheat had made its appearance there, and sold at 108
cents per bushel.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were very moderate. The imports were-36,219 quarters
of wheat, 17,264 barley, 16,559 oats, 2,200 rye, 560 beans,
27 peas,47o tares, 1,477 linseed, 767 rapeseed, 2,400 sundry
seeds, 1,426 sacks and 746 barrels of flour.
The quantity of wheat received fresh up to this morn-
ing's market, coastwise from Essex, Kent, &c., was very
moderate, and somewhat out of condition. By land car-
riage from the midland counties the receipts of that grain
were comparatively limited. The show of samples of both
red and white being small, the attendance of both town
and country buyers good, and the weather extremely wet,
the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled
active, at an advance in the quotations paid on Monday
last of from is. to fully 2s. per quarter, and a good clearance
effected. _ _

The number of offers for forward delivery was not large.
Several parcels sold at a rise of 2s. per quarter.
Notwithstanding that there was a considerable increase
in the show of foreign wheat, the trade ruled active, and
several heavy parcels changed hands at from is. to 2s. per
quarter more money.
Floating cargoes were in improved request, and about
10,000 quarters of wheat sold at an improvement in the
currencies of this day se'nnignt of 2s. per quarter.
No English barley at market ; but the supply of foreign
was good. The trade ruled steady, and last week's prices
were well supported.
Malt—the show of which was moderate—moved off
steadily, at full quotations.
The, supply of oats was very moderate, and the demand
for all'kinds was rather active, at fully the late advance.
We had a moderate inquiry for beans, at full quotations.
Peas moved off steadily, but we have no change to notice
in prices.
The flour trade was firm. Ship mares and barrelled
qualities of flour were the turn dearer.

To-day's market was very extensively supplied with
foreign stock as to number, but its general quality was
extremely in favour. A good clearance was effected on
higher terms.
The arrivals of beast from our own grazing districts were
very moderate, and we observed a considerable falling off
in the weight and condition. The attendance of buyers
being large, the beef trade ruled very brisk, at an advance
in the prices obtained on Monday last of quite 4d. per Blbs.
A few very superior Scots changed hands at from 4s. 10d.
to ss. ; but the general top figure for beef was 4s. Bd. per
Blbs.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,000 Scots, short-horns, &c. ; from the northern
districts, 800 short-horns; from other parts of England,
600 Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c. ; and, from. Scotland,
220 horned and polled Scots. • -
There was a falling off in the supply of sheep, a large
portion of which was beneath the middle quality. We
had a very brisk trade for all breeds, and the currencies
advanced fully 4d. per Blbs. A few very superior old
Downs realized ss. 4d. per 81bs. The general top figure for
mutton, however, was ss. 2d.
There was a very active inquiry for lambs, at a rise in
prices of quite 4d. per 81bs. In extreme cases, Down
qualities of lamb sold at ss. Gd. per 81bs.
The supply of calves was good ; nevertheless, the veal
trade ruled steady, and the quotations had an upward
tendency.
Pigs were in fair average supply, and steady inquiry.
Prices were somewhat on the advance.
