MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the leading markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with English wheat. Although the
demand was by no means active, prices were well sup-
ported. The sale for barley ruled steady, at extreme
rates, whilst there was rather more inquiry for malt.
Oats, beans, peas, and flour moved off slowly at barely
previous currencies.

The latest aclvice9 from New York state that a good
business was doing in flour on English account, The near
continental markets have ruled dull ; but no material
change has taken place in prices.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were but moderate. From abroad we received 880 quarters
of wheat, 620 oats, 23 beans, 9,459 linseed, 2,930 rapeseed,
39 sundry seeds, 10,382 sacks and 5,565 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to-day the arrivals of wheat, coastwise, from
Essex, Kent, and Lincolnshire, were very moderate, and
in but middling condition. From other quarters they
were limited. By land carriage the supply was by 120
means extensive, and the aggregate show of samples was
small. Owing, however, to the change in the weather,
the thin attendance of both town and country millers, and
the large imports of flour from France, Spain, "mad the
United States, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home
produce was in a very inactive state, at prices barely
equal to these paid on Monday last, and at which a clear-
ance was with difficulty effected.
For forward delivery a very limited business was doing;
nevertheless growers in general wero firm in their de-
mands.

The show of fresh foreign wheat was limited ; but We
had a large number of granaried samples on offer. Se-
lected qualities changed hands slowly, at last week's cur'
rency ; but all other kinds were dull in the extreme, and,
in some instances, the quotations were the turn in favour
of buyers.
Floating cargoes off Falmouth—the number of which has
increased—commanded very little attention. In their
value, we have no change to notice.
Scarcely any foreign barley was in the market, and the
supply of English was by no means extensive. On the
whole, the demand was less active of late ; nevertheless,
prices were supported.
We had a fair inquiry for malt, the supply of which was
good, at full quotations.
_ _

A large supply of Irish oats being on sale, the de-
mand for them was heavy, and prices had a downward
tendency. English, Scotch, and foreign qualities, moved
off slowly, at late rates.

Beans'NVere in moderate supply, and very inactive bra
quiry, at unaltered quotations.
In the value of peas no change. Holders were firm, and
the business doing was limited. .

All kinds of flour was very dull, and American parcel°
gave way is per barrel.

The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was veil
moderate, and in but middling condition. From our Own
grazing districts, the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morn:
ing were somewhat extensive for the time of year, and of
full average quality. Owing chiefly to the change in the
weather, the demand for all breeds ruled heavy, at a de'
cline in the quotations obtained on Monday last of 2d per
81bs, and a total clearance was not effected. The prime'
Scots sold at from 3s 10d to 4s per 81bs.
The receipts of beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire, amounted to 1,800 Scots and short horns ;
from other parts of England, 800 Herefords, runts, Devote
&c. • and from Scotland, 300 horned and polled Scots.
Notwithstanding that the supply of sheep was again
very limited, the mutton trade ruled exceedingly inactive,
at prices barely equal to those paid last week. The extreme
value of the best old Downs, in the wool, was 5s 2d, out of
the wool, 4s 2d per 81bs.
We were very scantily supplied with both English and
foreign calves, which moved off slowly, at barely late rates.
The top quotation was 4s 6d per 81bs.
The sale for pigs ruled heavy. In prices, however, no
change took place.
