CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
but moderately supplied with wheat, in which a steady
business was transacted, atan advance of from 2s to 4s per
qr. Barley and oats sold briskly, at very full prices. The
value of beans, peas, and flour had an upward tendency.
Our adiices from New York to the Ist inst. state that
both wheat and flour were in request at full prices. Large
quantities of Indian corn were being shipped to England.
Most of the continental markets have been firm. Up to
our market last week the arrivals of English grain were
rather on the increase. From abroad we received only
4,340 quarters of wheat, 60 of barley, 10,221 oats, 578
beans, 5,520 peas, 141 tares, 14,479 linseed, 1,693 rapeseed,
185 mustard seed, 282. sundry seeds, and 55 barrels of
flour. _ _ . • . _

The supply of English wheat received fresh up to our
market to-day was but moderate. The general quality of
the samples, however, was good. The attendance of buyers
was Rob to say extensive, and the high rates demanded by
the factors in the early part of the day operated against
sales. However, the demand became steady, but not to say
brisk, at an advance in the prices obtained on Monday last of
from 3s to Is per quarter. We were rather scantily sup-
plied with wheat, especiallywith good quality. The amount
of business doing was not largo, yet the quotations were
fully 2s to 3s per quarter higher than on this day se'nnight.
There were scarcely any floating cargoes on sale off Fal-
mouth. . _ _

The supply of English barley was large; of foreign
limited. The trade ruled brisk, at an improvement in the
currencies of this day ee'nnight of 2s. per quarter.
Malt changed hands steadily, on former terms.
The supply of oats was but moderate. The trade ruled
steady, at is per quarter above the rates current on Mon-
day last. Both beans and peas, the supplies of which were
on the increase, were in moderate request, at last week's
currency.
The top price of the best Town made flour was 73s per
2801bs. The trade was firm.

SMITHFIELD.

To-day's market was well supplied with foreign stock,
but its general quality was very inferior.
The show of home-fed beasts was seasonably larger ;
but at least two-thirds of the supply were beneath the
middle quality. The attendance of buyers being good,
the beef trade ruled brisk, and, in most instances,
prices were 2d per 81bs. higher than on Monday last. The
general top figure for beef was 5s per Sibs, and a few very
superior Scots realised 5s 2d per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, wo received 2,600 short horns, from other parts of
England 500 of various breeds, and from Scotland 100
Soots.

The supply of sheep was rather on the increase. Prime
Downs, however, wore very scarce, and rather dearer than
on this day se'nnight—they being worth fully 55. per 81b.;
otherkinds moved off steadily, at extreme prices.
Very few calves were on offer, and the inquiry for them
was brisk, at 4d. per 81bs. above the currencies of Mon-
day last. The top figure was ss. 2d. per 8 lbs. We had
a fair demand for pigs, at very full prices.
Last week's import of foreign stock into London was
5,532 head. In the corresponding week in 1853 we received
7,880; in 1852, 4,612; in 1851, 7,797; in 1850, 5,815;
in 1849, 5,486; in 1848, 2,517; and in 1847, 4,519 head.
