MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supplies of wheat on sale in most of the country
markets held on Saturday were very moderate. The de-
mand ruled steady, and in some instances, prices advauced
from ls. to 2s. per qr. In barley and malt very little bu-
siness was transacted, but oats had an upward tendency.
Beans, peas, and flour, sold at full quotations.
Most of the Continental markets have been very firm.
In France, both wheat and flour have been on the advance,
and a steady rise has taken place in the quotations at New
York.
Up to our market last week the receipts of English grain
were moderate. From abroad we received 17,244 quarters
of wheat, I,BSO barley, 10,289 oats, 117 beans, 39 peas,
112 tares, 5,752 linseed, 11 rapeseed, 688 sundry seeds,
6,037 sacks and 10,787 barrels of flour.
The quantities of English wheat received fresh up to
our market to-day coastwise from Essex and _Bent was
very limited. By land carriage the arrivals were trifling;
however, the show of samples of both red and white was
smaller than for some time past. However, the demand
for all descriptions, owing to the steady imports of foreign
wheat and flour, and the prevailing tine weather for the
growing crops, was in a sluggish state. In the quotations,
scarcely any change took place from Monday last. There
were very few inquiries for forward delivery parcels.
With foreign wheat we were well supplied. Good heavy
Balti.; parcels sold to a fair extent, at full prices. Most
other kinds met a dull inquiry, but we have no actual
change to notice in the currencies.
The few floating cargoes of the coast were held for more
money, hut the business doing in them was trifling. About
30 vessels laden with grain have been reported off Falmouth
during the past week.
Barley, the supply Of which was but moderate, moved
off slowly, at last week's currency.
There was a slight improvement in the inquiry for malt,
at full prices.
Oats, the show of which was moderately good, were in
fair request, and the turn higher than on this day sen'night.
Beans were in short supply, and heavy request, on former
terms.
The demand for peas was heavy, at late lates.
We had a moderate inquiry for flour, the prices of which
were well supported.

The supply of foreign stock in to-day's market was
moderate, and in somewhat improved condition. All
breeds were dull and lower.
The receipts of bensts from our own grazing districts, as
well as from Scotland, were seasonably good, but their general
weight and condition showed a slight falling off compared
with Monday last. Although the attendance of both town
and country buyers was rather extensive, the beef trade
was in a sluggish state, at Friday's decline in the quota-
tions of 2d per Sibs. A very few superior Scots realised
4s 10d, but the general top figure for beef was 4s 8d
per 81bs.
The receipts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire amounted to 2,300 Scots and short-horns ; from
other parts of England, 600 of various breeds; and from
Scotland, 500 horped and polled Scots.
There was a decided increase in the supply of sheep.
The mutton trade was therefore inactive, at the depression
in vain: submitted to on Friday—viz., 2d per Blbs. The
best old Downs realised 4s 10,1 per Blbs.
We were well supplied with lambs, all breeds of which
met a dull inquiry, at 2d per 81bs beneath the prices cur-
rent on Monday last.
The supply of calves being large, the veal trade was
heavy, at 4d per 81bs beneath the currencies obtained on
this day se'nnight.
We had a slow sale for p

gs, on former terms. The

supply was moderate.
