CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading country markets held on Saturday wore very
moderately supplied with wheat, in which only a limited
business was doing, on easier terms. Barley and malt were
dull, and cheaper. In oats, there was scat cely any inquiry,
at drooping prices. ' Beans, peas, and flour were cheaper.
Most of the continental markets have been dull for wheat
and oth..r articles. Prices almost generally have tended
downwards. Our last advices from New York state that
both wheat and floor were drooping.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week,
were moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to
17,238 quarters of wheat, 5,230 barley, 35,565 oats,3ol
beans, 161 peas, 20 tares,l,2lslinseed, 56 sundry seeds, and
6,33.! barrels of flour.
The quantity of wheat received fresh up to our market
to-day, coastwise from Essex and Kent was but moderate;
and the arrivals from all quarters by land carriage were
limited ; nevertheless the show of samples was somewhat
in excess of Monday last. For all kinds we had a slow in-
quiry, and the amount of business doing was limited, at
prices somewhat beneath those of this day sen'night, the
fall being about is per quarter. There was no new corn
in the market, but a sample or two may be looked forward
to on Monday next.
The show of foreign wheat was tolerably extensive.
There was only a moderate inquiry for most descriptions,
and low qualities were the turn in favour of buyers com-
pared with Monday last.
Very fe v floating cargoes were on offer, but the inquiry
for them was heavy.
We had a very dull sale for barley, at a decline in value
of is per quarter.
Malt was heavy, and is per quarter beneath last week's
currency. .

We were heavily supplied with oats, which moved off
slowly, at is per quarter less money.
There was scarcely any demand for beans and peas, the
prices of which were almost nominal. The supplies were

The flour trade was very dull, and the quotations had a
downward tendency.

To-day's market was well supplied with foreign stock,
the general quality of which was inferior. The demand
was steady, and prices were on the advance.
About an average time-of-year supply of home-fed beasts
was received fresh up this morning, but their weight and
condition were by no means prime. Although the attend-
ance of butchers was far from extensive, the beef trade
ruled somewhat active, at an advance in the prices of
Monday last of from 2d to, in some instances Id per Blbs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 1,960 short horns ; from other parts of
England, 400 of various breeds ; and, from Scotland, 100
Scots.

Notwithstanding that the numbers of sheep were rather
extensive the sale for that description of stock ruled
steady, at Friday's advance in the quotations of 2d per
81bs. The best old Downs were worth 5s per 81bs.
Lambs—the supply of which was tolerably good, moved
off steadily, at 2d per 81bs above last Monday's currencies.
We had a better demand for calves, at extreme quota-
tions. The supply was rather large.
Pigs commanded very little attention on former terms.

NEWGATE AND LEADENFIALL.
For the time of year our markets are fairly supplied
with each kind of meat, the general quality of which is by
no means prime. The best beef, mutton, lamb, and veal
move off steadily, at full prices. Otherwise the demand
is in a sluggish state.
