MARKET IVETITS--(TIIIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
Although the supplies of wheat on sale were large in the
leading country markets held on Saturday, the demand for
all kinds ruled steady, and prices advanced from 2s to 3s *fir.
per qr. The barley trade was dull; but oats, beans, peas,
and flour were held at full quotations.
Our latest advices from New York state that flour had
advanced is 6d per barrel, and that grain was rather dearer.
The supplies offering were limited. Most of the continen-
tal markets are steady. 17p to our market last week the
arrivals of English grain were moderate. The imports from
abroad were only 2,201 qrs of wheat, 30 barley, 6,414 oats,
732 beans, 2,981 peas, 361 tares, 2,945 linseed, 1,377 rape-
seed, 212 sundry seeds, 1,162 sacks and 1,050 barrels flour.
Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of wheat
coastwise from Essex were but moderate. The supply from
Kent was rather limited, but the general weight and con-
dition of the samples were good. By land carriage the
receipts were trifling ; hence the total show of samples
was smaller than for somo weeks past. Although the at-
tendance of bnyers was not to say large, there was an ac-
tive business doing in all kinds of wheat of home produce,
and a clearance was easily effected, at an advance in the
prices obtained on Monday last of from 2s to 3s per qr.
With foreign wheat, wo were very moderately supplied,
especially with fresh arrivals. Goad heavy qualities sold
steadily, at an improvement in the rates current on this
day se'nnight of t s per quarter. Low and middling parcels
were tolerably firm, and is per quarter dearer.
Although the supply of English barley was on the in-
crease, a good business was transacted An most kinds, at
last Monday's quotations.
Malt was in fair average supply, and moderate request,
at late rates.
The supply of eats was moderate, and a steady business
was transacted in that grain at full quotations.
Beans, the supply of which from abroad was good, sold
steadily, without alteration in price.
We had only a moderate inquiry for peas, yet the quo-
tations were tolerably firm.
Flour was steady. In prices no change took place.

SMITHFIELD. 20
We were again well supplied with foreign stock, in, for 11
the most part, very low condition. St.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts St.
fresh up today were but moderate, and at least two-thirds 20
of them were beneath the middle quality. The attendance 10
of butchers being good, the beef trade ruled steady, and a 12,4,
good clearance was effected at last Monday's currency. St.
The best Scots sold without difficulty at 5s per 81bs. 50
The receipts of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, 48
and Northamptonshire amounted to 2,400 short horns, 25
from other parts of England 400 of various breeds, and 25
from Scotland 40 horned and polled Scots. St.
The number of sheep was by no means extensive, and 812:
greatly out of condition. For all breeds we experienced a St.
slow sale, and last week's prices were barely supported. St.
The top figure for Downs was 4s 10d per Sibs. 50
The supply of calves being limited, the veal trade was 25
rather brisk, at an advance in the quotations of 2d per 100
81bs. The primest calves were worth 4s 10d per Blbs.
Pigs were in fair average supply, and steady request, at 2f
full prices.
The arrivals of stock from Ireland, last week, direct by 20
sea, were 20 calves and 25 pigs. About 200 Irish beasts
were here to-day, via Liverpool.
Last week's import of foreign stock into London was
7,721 head. In the corresponding week in 1853 we received
7,712; in 1852, 6,117; in 1851, 7,602; in 1850, 6,072;
in 1849, 4,412 ; in 1848, 4,085 ; and in 1847, 4,950 head.
