CORN EXCHANGE.
The supplies of wheat on sale in most of the country
markets ion Saturday were but moderate, yet they
were quit cqual to :he demand. Prices had a downward
tendency. Barley gave way is. to 2s. per quarter, and all
other articles were a dull sale.
Advices from New York state that both wheat and flour
were on the advance, with an improved export inquiry.
Most of the continental markets have been firm for all
articles.

Only moderate supplies of home-grown produce were re-
ceived up to our market last week. The imports from
abroad amounted to 7,063 quarters of wheat, 2,170 barley,
10,024 oats, 4,071 beans, 2,520 peas, 733 tares, 4,325 lin-
seed, 6 mustard seed, 30 sundry seeds, 476 sacks and 700
barrels of flour.

The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our
market to-day coastwise was on the increase compared
with Monday last ; but the general condition of the sam-
ples was by no means first• rate. By land carriage, the
receipts were but moderate. As the attendance of both
town and country millers was small, the demand for all
kinds of wheat of home produce was in a very inactive
state. The value of fine qualities was, however, supported ;
but low and middling kinds sold heavily, and the quota-
tions were rather in favour of buyers.
With foreign wheat we were fairly supplied. Selected
samples were held at full currencies, but so little was
doing in them that their value was almost nominal. I, .
ferior parcels were exceedingly heavy, and offered on
rather lower terms.
Floating cargoes of grain commanded very little atten-
tion.
We were fairly supplied with both English and foreign
barley, and the trade for all descriptions was heavy at 2s
per quarter beneath the prices obtained on Monday last.
In malt very little was doing, and the rates had a down-
ward tendency.
The supply of oats was large, and trade ruled heavy, at
a decline of from 6d to is per quarter.
Beaus—the show of which was tolerably good, moved
off slowly, at barely last week's currency.
The demand for peas was heavy, and late rates were
with difficulty supported.
We had a very dull inquiry for flour, at barely last
Monday's prices.

'IELD.

The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was very
moderate, and greatly out of condition.
From our own grazing districts, as well as from Ireland
and Scotland, the arrivals of beasts were on the increase,
and, for the most part, of fair average weight. Although
the attendance of butchers was tolerably good, the beef
trade was in a sluggish state, and, in some instances, the
quotations gavo way 2d per 81bs. A few very superior
Scots realised 5s 2d, but thetop general figure for beef was
5a per 81b.
The bullock arrivals from Lincolnshire and Leicester-
shire amounted to 2,100 short horns ; from other parts
of England, 300 of various breeds ; front Ireland 460
beasts ; and from Scotland, 260 horned and polled Scots.
We were well supplied with sheep. Prime downs and
half-breds were in moderate request, at last week's cur-
rency. Long woolled sheep moved off slowly, and the quo-
tations were the turn in favour of buyers.
The supply of calves was but moderate. On the whole,
the veal trade ruled steady, at last week's prices.
There was only a dull inquiry e'er pigs, at barely last
Monday's quotations.
Last week's imports of foreign stock into London were
5,689 head. In the corresponding week in 1853 wo received
5 642; in 1852, 3,824 ; in 1851, 6,593 ; in ISSO, 5,703 ;
in' 1849, 4,511; in 1818, 5,155; and in 1847, 1,91:3 head.
