MARKET NEWS--(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supplies of wheat on sale in the country markets
held on Saturday were limited, and the demand ruled
11 steady, at an advance of from is to 2s per quarter. Barley
and malt were firm, and quite as dear as in the previous
week. Oats, beans, and peas had an upward tendency.
There was an improved sale for flour, the value of which
was on the advance.
The Continental markets, have been very firm of late,
and prices of all articles have been well supported. Ad-
vices from New York to the 19th inst. state that both
wheat and flour were offering on lower terms, owing to the
high freights.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain

were very moderate. From abroad we received 1.6,509
quarters of wheat, 3.965 barley, 16,777 oats, 113 beans,
1,144 peas, 8,000 linseed, 2,459 rapeseed, 83 mustard seed,
658 sundry seeds, and 6,696 barrels of flour.
Notwithstanding that the arrrivals of English wheat up
to our market to-day, coastwise, was very moderate, and
that the receipts by land carriage was smaller than for
some weeks past, there was less disposition on the part of
the millers and others to effect purchases, hence the de-
mand for all descriptions was in a sluggish state, at prices
about equal to those obtained on Monday last. The gene-
ral quality of the samples was by no means first-rate, owing
to the long-prevailing damp weather.
For forward delivery we have heard of very few transac-
tions, yet the growers were not disposed to sell except at
very full currencies. _

The show of foreign wheat was by no means extensive.
Good rod Baltic parcels moved off steadily at full quota-
tions. Most other qualities were in bui, moderate request,
on former terms.

There was only a limited demand for floating cargoes of
wheat. Marianopole was quoted at 695, Taganrog Ghirka
665, Landomirka 655, Galatz 56s to 58s, and Polish Odessa
60s per quarter.
Barley, the supply of which was but moderate, moved
off steadily at late rates.
In the value of malt we have no change to report.
Although the aggregate supply of oats was tolerably
goad, that article was in fair request, and fine corn ad-
vanced 6d. per quarter.
We had a steady, though by no means active, inquiry
for beans, at full prices.
There was less activity in the sale for peas, yet the quo-
tations were supported.
The demand for flour was rather inactive ; nevertheless
the currencies of Monday last were maintained.

The Dutch and Holstein cattle continue to arrive in very
bad condition ; but we have received some tolerably good
sheep from Harlingen and Rotterdam, together with some
prime calves.
Since our last, 74 beasts, 24 calves, and 33 pigs have
arrived from Ireland.
The supply of foreign stock in to-day's market was large,
but in very middling condition.
From our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning were but moderate. The primest
Scots and shorthorns moved off steadily, and in some in-
stances prices were rather higher than on Monday last ;
yet the top quotation for beef did not exceed 4s 4d per
Blbs. In the value of other breads we have no change to
notice.
The bullock arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire,
and Northamptonshire, amounted to 2,950 shorthorns ;
and from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds.
There were no fresh supplies from Scotland.
With all breeds of sheep we were but moderately sup-
plied. There was a slight improvement in the sale for
Downs and half-breds, the value of which was, in some
instances, 2d. per Sibs. higher than on this day se'nnight.
For instance, a few prime half-breds realised quite 4s 10d,
and prime old Downs 5s 2d per 81bs. Inferior breeds were
steady, and quite as dear as last week.
We had an improved sale for calves, at an advance in
the quotations of 2d per Blbs.
Figs were in full average supply, and steady inquiry, at
full prices.
