MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The near continental markets have ruled steady for most
kinds of grain, the prices of which have been well sup- Shr
ported. In the Black Sea ports, the value of wheat has
considerably advanced, with an active demand. The
lat3st adviees from the United States are to the effect that
wheat and flour were very dull and drooping.
Most ef the country markets held on Saturday were
fairly supplied with wheat, in which only a limited busi-
ness was transacted, at barely stationary prices. In spring
corn and flour very little was doing.
The arrivals of English grain up from market, coastwise,
were but moderate. From abroad we received 40,747 qrs.
of wheat, 5,120 barley, 37,323 oats, 850 rye, 148 beans,
133 peas, 130 tares, 7,205 linseed, 75 mustard seed, 120
sundry seeds, 2,230 sacks and 8,402 brls. of flour.
Fresh up to-day the arrival of wheat coastwise from
Kent was somewhat extensive, even the time of year con-
sidered, and we received a full average supply from Essex,
in excellent condition. By land carriage the receipts were
but moderate. The aggregate supply being good, the im-
ports from abroad extensive, and the news from Russia
more favourable, the demands for all kinds of wheat of
home produce ruled exceedingly heavy, at a decline in the
prices of Monday last of fully 2s per quarter.
There was very little business doing for forward de-
livery, even though the growers freely offered parcels at
2s to 3s per quarter less money.
We were rather extensively supplied with all kinds of
foreign wheat. Millers and 'others operated with great
caution, and the trade was in a depressed state at a fall in
the currencies of fully ls. per qr.
Floating cargoes off the coast were very dull. In prices,
however, scarcely any change took place. Indian corn for
forward shipment was quite neglected.

Beans changed hands slowly, on former terms.
The demand for peas was steady, at late rates.

change took place.

The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was exten
sive, but in very middling condition. The demand for
was less active, at about stationary prices
The arrivals of beasts fresh up to-day from our own graz
ing districts, were tolerably good as to number, but very
deficient in quality. The attendance of buyers being nu-
merous, the beef trade ruled steady, at fully last Monday's
prices. The general top figure for beef was 4s 4d ; but a
few very superior sorts realized 4s 6d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 500 Scots and short horns ; from the northern
grazing districts, 1,700 short horns ; from other parts of
England, 400 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 240
horned and polled Scots.
With sheep, we were tolerably well, but by no means
extensively, supplied. The trade was decidedly firm, and
prices were well supported in every instance. The best
old Downs sold freely, at 5s per 81bs.
Lambs—The supply of which was tolerably good, moved
off slowly, at the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight,
viz., 5s to 6s per 81bs.
The supply of Calves was but moderate, yet the veal
trade ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices.
Pigs were very dull, but we have no change to notice in
the quotations.
