MARKET .NEWS-(THIS DAY,

CORN EXCHANGE.

Very little business was transacted in wheat in the
leading country markets held on Saturday, and prices
gave way from is to 2s per qr. Barley and in,dt were
heavy. Oats were lower to purchase; but so little were
doing in beans and peas that the quotations were almost
nominal. Flour was cheaper, with a heavy demand.
The latest advices from New York state that more
business was doing in flour on English account. Wheat
and other articles wore steady. Most of the Continental
markets have continued dull and drooping.
The arrivals of English grain to our market last week
were very moderate. From abroad we received 37,663
qrs of wheat, 2,388 .barley, 18,626 oats, 446 beans, 5 peas,
7,776 linseed, 1,021 rapeseed,,2sosundry seeds, 4,850 sacks
and 158 barrels of flour. _ _ _

The'quantity of English wheat receivedfresh up to our
market to-day coastwise was very moderate, and the re-
ceipts by land carriage were small. The show of samples
of both red and white was limited : nevertheless, owing to
the rapid fall in the French markets, and the large imports,
the demand was inactive. A few selected samples changed
hands at last Monday's currency, but most other kinds
were offering on rather easier terms.. For forward deli-
very we heard of no transactions, notwithstanding that
-The growers were sellers at depressed currencies.
We were heavily supplied with foreign wheat, all kinds
of which met a dull inquiry. In the value of really good
qualities, very little change took place ; but other descrip-
tions were offering on lower terms.
There were very few floating cargoes reported off the
coast. So little was doing in them that the quotations
were almost nominal.

Barley—the show of which was but moderate—moved
off slowly, but we have no change to notice in its value.
Malt was in good supply, and heavy request. Prices
had a down ward tendency.
The show of oats was good, all kinds moved off slowly,
at barely the late decline in the quotations.
Beans were held on former terms; but the inquiry for
them was trifling.
In peas, scarcely a transaction took place.
The flour trade was dull, at last Monday's fall in value.

The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was but
moderate, and in very middling condition.
The receipts of beasts from our own grazing districts, as
well as from Scotland, were very limited, the time of year
considered. Although the attendance of provincial buyers
was by no means numerous, the demand for all breeds of
beasts was firm, at prices fully equal to those obtained on
Monday last, and at which a good clearance was effected.
A few very superior Scots realised a fraction over 5s 2d
per 81bs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire amounted to 900 Scots and short-horns ; from
Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, 1,103
short-horns ; from other parts of. England; 4CO of various
breeds ; and from Scotland, 170 Scots. _ _

There was a decided increase in the supply of sheep,
especially in long- woolled qualities. However, a steady
business was transacted, and the prices of Monday last
wore well supported. The best old Downs were worth 5s
per 81bs.
We were seasonably well supplied with lambs, which
were in fair request, at full currencies—viz., 4s ad to
5s 10d. per 81bs.
_ _

Prinie small calves were scarce, and quite as dear as last
week. Other kinds of veal moved off slowly, at barely
stationary prices. The supply was rather extensive.
The pork trade was dull, but we have no change to
notice in the quotations.
The arrivals of stock by sea from Ireland last week were
29 beasts and 68 calves.
