CORN EXCHANGE.

About an average business was transacted in Vi beat in
most of the country markets held on Saturday. In prices
no material change took place. Barley and malt were very
(lull, and rather easier to purchase. Oats, beans, peas, and
flour commanded very little attention.
Advices from New York to the 28th nit. state that no
change had taken place in the grain markets. On the
continent, tko business doing in wheat for shipment to
England has been limited.
The arrivals of home-produce up to our market last
week were very moderate. From abroad we received
5,258 quarters of wheat, 6,846 oats, 9,748 beans, 472 peas,
328 tares, 6,059 linseed, 5,283 sacks and 1,415 barrels of
flour.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to this morning's
market, coastwise and by land carriage, were on a moderate
scale, and in but middling condition. On the whole the
stands exhibited rather a limited number of samples of
both red and white, especially of the latter. Notwith-
standing that the attendance of millers was not to say ex-
tensive, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home pro-
duce ruled steady, at an improvement in the quotations
obtained on Monday last of is. per quarter. At that amount
of advance nearly or quite the whole of the supply was
cleared off. _ _ _

........._
The show of foreign wheat was but moderate. Good
heavy qualities were in fair request, and, in some in-
stances, is per quarter dearer than on this day lee'enaight.
Low and middling parcels sold slowly on former terms.
We had very little inquiry for floating cargoes of grain.
Holders, however, were very firm in their demands.
The show of barley was smaller than for some weeks
past. However, the trade ruled heavy, and prices were
barely supported.
The malt trade was very dull, and the quotations were
rather easier.

The supply of eats was rather extensive, whilst the de-
mand ruled heavy at 6d to is per quarter beneath last
Mon'iay's currency.
Large supplies of foreign beans being on offer that de-
scription of produce was heavy, and is per quarter lower.
Peas met a dull inquiry, at is per quarter less money.
There was rather more doing in flour on former terms.

NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

Very large supplies of country-killed meat have been
received up to these markets since Monday last, and the
show of each kind slaughtered in the metropolis is season-
ably good, thouet deficient in quality. The general de-

from Havre, 1,914 from New York, 1 from Boulogne, 194
