CORN EXCHANGE.

The country markets held on Saturday were by no
means heavily supplied with wheat. The demand, how-
ever, was in a sluggish state, and prices had a downward
tendency. All Spring corn, the receipts of which Were
good, moved off slowly, on rather easier terms.
The latest advices from New York state that both wheat
and flour were very dull, at drooping prices. Indian corn
was brisk, and dearer. Most of the Continental markets
have continued steady, but tho business doing in them has
been small.

Very moderate supplies of English grain were received
up to our market last week. The imports from abroad
were 9,379 quarters of wheat, 880 barley, 24,193 oats,
2,782 beaus, 3,017 peas, 138 tares, 5,999 linseed, 685 rape-
seed, 41 sundry seeds, and 216 barrels of flour.
The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our
market, to-day, ' was very moderate ; and the show of
samples of both red and white was by no means extensive.
Although it was stated that orders for the purchase of
wheat had been received from France, Belgium, and In-
land, the demand for all kinds was in u sluggish state. Iu
the general quotations we have no actual change to notice
from Monday last, nevertheless, that day's prices were
barely supported. The principal portion of the supply was
composed of new red.

We were but moderately supplied with foreign wheat.
For all kinds the inquiry was in a sluggish state, yot we
can notice no alteration in the quotations.
Floating cargoes were dull in sale, but not cheaper.

The show of English barley was good, and the transac-
tions were comparatively limited at, in most instances, a
decline in value of is per quarter.

Malt—the show of which was moderate—sold slowly, at
kolt week's currency.

The imports of foreign oats having been large, the oat
trado was heavy, at a fall in the value of from 6d to is per
quarter.

Beans—the supply of which was moderate—were in mo-
derate request, at last week's currency.
Peas changed hands to a fair extent, on former terms.
In flour, about an average business was doing, at late
rates.

SMITHFIELD.

There was a decided increase in the supply of sheep
compared with this day so'nnight. For all breeds wo had
a good demand, at fully last week's currency. The best
old Downs wore worth 5s per Sibs.

We were scantily supplied with both English and
foreign calves, which moved off steadily, at full quotations.
The firmest calves were worth 5s 4d to 5s Cd per 81bs.
Pigs—The supply of which was moderate—sold steadily,
at full currencies.

We have to state that the trade of this market will be
removed to Copenhagen-fields on the 25th of January next.
The show of foreign stock here to-day was very moderate,
and nearly the whole of it was in low condition.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning were small as to number, the time
of year considered ; but we observed a great improvement
in their general weight and condition ; indeed there was
scarcely any really inferior English beasts on offer. As
the attendance of buyers was large, and as the weather
was favourable for slaughtering, the beef trade ruled brisk,
at fully last Monday's advance in the quotations—the best
lots selling readily at 5s 2d per 81bs.
The droves from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire amounted to 2,000 short horns ; from
other parts of England, 500 of various kinds ; and, from
Scotland, 84 horned and polled Scots.
Last week's import of foreign stock into London was
5,140 head. In the corresponding week in 1853 we received
9,043; in 1852, 5,135 ; in 1351, 7,096 ; -in 1850, 3,903 ;
in 1849, 5,743 ; in 1848, 2,321; and in 1847, 3,838 head.
