MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supplies of wheat on sale in most of the country
markets held on Saturday were but moderate ; neverthe-
less, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy at drooping
prices. There was a moderate inquiry for grinding barley
at full currencies. o:4s, bans, and peas were held on
former terms ; but other articles were neglected.

Our latest advices from New York state that flour was
dull in sale at drooping prices. The business doing in
most of the continental markets on English account is by

no means extensive.

Very limited supplies of English grain were received
fresh up to our market last week. The imports of foreign
produce amounted to 22,870 quarters of wheat, 1,735
bailey, 15,684 oats, 492 beans, 70 peas, 15 tares, 7,223
linseed, 327 rapeseed, 47 sundry seeds, 1,171 sacks and 7,163
barrels of flour.

Compared with Monday last the receipts of English
wheat fresh up to this morning's market, coastwise from
Essex and Kent, were on the increase ; yet they were
small, even the time of year considered. By land carriage
the arrivals were limited. On the whole the attendance
of buyers was good, and we had a fair inquiry for really
fine wheat, at last week's currency. Low and middling
qualities moved off slowly, and the quotations were mostly
ls. per quarter beneath the currencies of this day sen'-
night.
For forward delivery next to nothing was doing.
We were again well supplied with foreign wheat, espe-
cially from the near continental ports. Good heavy quali-
ties changed hands to a fair extent, at full quotations.
Few parcels were dull, and rather in favour of buyers.
The few floating cargoes reported off the coast were offer-
ing on rather easier terms. The demand for them was
heavy.
The supply of barley was small. Grinding parcels were
firm, at full prices. All other kinds were dull, and nomi-
nal in value.
There was very little doing in malt, on former terms.
Oats, the supply of which was moderate, moved off
steadily, but we have no change to notice in prices.
Beans met a slow inquiry, on former terms.
The demand for peas was wholly in retail, at late rates.
The sale for flour ruled dull, at barely last week's quo•
tations.
The supply of foreign was good.

We were moderately supplied with each kind of foreign
stock to-day, but its general quality was inferior.
The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts, as
well as from Scotland, was rather limited, and we observed
a decided falling off in their general weight and condition.
The primest Scots, from their scarcity, moved off freely,
and in some instances prices had an upward tendency, 5s
per Blbs having been realised for them ; but all other breeds
met a slow sale, at last Monday's currency.
The receipts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire amounted to 1,600 Scots and short-horns ; from
other parts of England, 600 of various breeds ; and from
Scotland, 230 horned and polled Scots.
There was rather an extensive supply of sheep in the
market. Prime old Downs were comparatively scarce,
and in but moderate request, on former terms. All other
breeds moved off slowly, and last week's curriencies were
barely supported—indeed, in some instances, heavy breeds
were 2d per 81bs lower.
Lambs, the numbers of which were good, sold slowly,
but we have no change to notice in their value. The top
figura was 5s 10d per Sibs.
We were heavily supplied with calves, which moved off
slowly, at last week's decline.
In pigs very little was doing, on former terms.
The arrivals of stock from Ireland by sea were 46beasts,
108 sheep, 62 calves, and 9 pigs.
