MARKET .NEWS—(TEris DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were dull
for wheat, on lower terms. The barley trade was heavy,
and prices bad a downward tendency. Malt moved off
steadily, at very full prices. The oat trade was less active,
and the quotations were barely supported. Beans, peas,
and flour commanded very little attention.
Most of the foreign markets have ruled steady, with
only a moderate business doing on English account. Ad-
vices from New York to the 9th inst. state that both
wheat and flour were vory dull, and lower.
Up to our market last week, the arrivals of English
grain were very moderate. From abroad, we received
2,194 quarters of wheat, 130 barley, 6,865 oats, 5,598 beans,
1,260 peas, 665 tares, 5,844 linseed, 546 rapeseed, 112 mus-
tard Seed, 295 sundry seeds, 658 sacks and 300 barrels of
flour.
The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to this morning's
market, coastwiso and by land carriage, were ♦ery mode-
rate, but in good condition. The show of samples of both
red and white was small compared with some previous
Mondays. About an average business was transacted in all
kinds, at prices equal to those obtained on Monday week,
viz., the Gth inst.—in other words, the fallfrom the highest
point lately paid was from 2s to 3s per quarter. At our
quotations most of the samples changed hands.

- With foreign wheat we were, rather scantily supplied ;
but the arrival during the past week of several vessels off
the coast laden with grain from Alexandria, and the aboli-
tion of the corn monopoly in Egypt, had considerable in-
fluence upon the trade. The business doing was limited,
at the prices of Monday se'nnight—the late advance having
been lost.

We were fairly supplied with barley which moved off
somewhat steadily, at about last week's quotations.
The malt trade was considered steady, on former terms.

We were extensively supplied with oats, especially from
Ireland. A steady business was transacted in gooi sound
corn, at extreme rates. Damp qualities gave way 6d per
quarter.
We had a steady sale for beans, at an improvement in
the quotations of is per quarter.
The sale for peas ruled heavy, at is to 2s per quarter less
money.

For flour we had a moderate inquiry, at last week's
quotations.

SMITHFIELD.

To-day's market was but moderately supplied with
foreign stock ; nearly the whole changed hands at improved
quotations.
There was a falling off in the arrivals of home-fed beasts,
at least three-fourths of which were in very middling and
inferior condition. As the attendance of both town and
country butchers was large, the demand for all kinds of
beasts ruled active, at, in most instances, an advance in the
prices obtained on Monday last of 2d per 8 lbs. The best
lots sold readily at from 5s to 5s 2d per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,000 short horns ; from other parts of
England, 400 of various kinds ; and, from Scotland, 64
horned and polled stots. The arrivals by sea from Ireland
last week were 85 beasts.
Compared with several previous Mondays, the supply of
sheep was but moderate. Generally speaking, the condi-
tion of most breeds was inferior. The trade was decidedly
firm, and in some instances the quotations had an upward
tendency. The general top figure for mutton was 5s per
81b. . _

A very limited number of calves was on offer. The veal
trade was brisk, at an improvement in the currencies of
Monday last of 4d per Blbs. The top figure was 5s 6d per
Blbs.

We had a good demand for pigs, at fally last week's
quot:' tions.
Last week's import of foreign stock into London was
6,803 head. In the corresponding week in 1853 we received
8,574; in 1852, 4,873 ; in-1851, 7,036 ; in ISSO, 6,191;
in 1849, 5,587; in 1848, 4,261; and in 1847, 3,193 head.
