CORN EX

CHANGE.

The country markets held on Saturday were tolerably
well supplied with wheat ; nee er theless, the demand ruled
steady, at full prices. Fine malting barley realised ls. per
quarter more money, and the rolue of grinding and dis-
tilling sorts was well supported.. Malt and oats were quite
as dear ; but all other articles commanded very little at-
tention.
-In the near continental -mar'kobs, laolders of wheat and
other grain have been firm in their demands ; but the
ambunt of business doing on English account has been com-
Paratively small. The sale for wheat and flour in the
United States has been less active.

Up to our market, last Nsree:k, the arrivals of English
grain were tolerably good. From abroad we received
10,659 quarters of wheat ; 2,350 barley ; 12,605 oats ;1,850
rye ; 1,519 beans ; 500 peas ; 5,34'3 linseed ; 848 rapeseed ;
106 sundry seeds ; 1,594 sacks and 10,469 barrels of flour.
The quantity of wheat received fresh up to-day coast-
wise from Essex And Kent was very moderate, and much
out of condition. From the east coast the receipts were
small. By land carriage the supply was by no means large;
yet the show of samples of both red and white was on the
increase- The attendance of both town and country mil-
lers was tolerably good. All fine qualities moved off
freely at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday
last, whilst there was a slight improvement in the inquiry
for most other kinds at late ratekc The dealers generally
are very short of stock, but the steady imports of American
flour operate against the wheat trade.
For forward delivery a fair average business was doing
at full currencies.

The supply of fresh foreign wheat was again moderate,
and the show of samples, ex-granary, was small. Medium
qualities of red sold to a fair extent, at full currencies.
Most other kinds were in moderate request, at late
figures.
The inquiry for floating cargoes was by no means active ;
nevertheless, holders were firm iu their demands, and suc-
ceeded in obtaining full prices in every instance.
With English barley we were much better supplied than
for several weeks past ; but the quantity of foreign on
offer was limited. The demand was less active, yet the
late advance in the value of malting parcels was sup-
ported. _ _ _

Rather a large quantity of inajt was brought forward ;
yet the inquiry for that article was steady, at full cur-
rencies.

The supply of oats was on the increase. On the whole
the oat trade ruled firm, and prices were well maintained.
Beans, the show of which was tolerably good, moved off
slowly, at late figures.
There was a very inactive demand for peas, at full
quotations.
The flour trade was in a sluggish state. In prices no
change took place.

For the time of year to-day's market was well supplied
with foreign stock, the general quality of which was good.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts, as well as from Scotland, were tolerably exten-
sive, and in fair average condition. Owing to thq favour-
able change in the weather, and the large number of buyers
in attendance, the beef trade ruled steady, and nearly the
whole of the beasts changed hands, at fully last Monday's
currency. The primest Scots realized 4s to 4s 2d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,500 Scots, short horns, &c. ; from other parts of
Englaxd, 500 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ; and from
Scotland, 800 horned and polled Scots.
With sheep, we were very scantily supplied. For all
breeds the demand was decidedly active, at prices fully equal
to those paid on Monday last. The primest Downs sold
readily at 5s per Blbs. There were a few shearlings on
offer.

Calves—the supply of which was very moderate—moved
off readily, at full currencies. The primest veal was worth
4s 8d per Bibs.

There was a fair average business doing in pigs, at pre-
vious rates.
