CORN EXCHANGE.

- -
The country markets held on Saturday were very dull
for all kinds of wheat, the supply of which was on the in-
crease, and prices gave way from ls. to 3s. per quarter.
Pie barley trade was heavy, at ls. to 2s, less money. Oats,
beans, and peas were offering on lower terms. In flour
,ext to nothing was doing.
On the continent, wheat and most other produce have
have met a dull sale, on easier terms. Re-shipments of
flour are being made to England. At New York prices
have advanced considerably.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last
week, were on the increase. From abroad we received
8,351 quarters of wheat, 1,417 barley, 2,222 oats, 140
tares, 135 linseed, 18 rapeseed, 106 mustard seed, 439
sundry seeds, 2,025 sacks, and 13,665 barrels of flour.
The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our
market, this morning, coastwise, was very limited, and in
but middling condition. By land carriage, the receipts
were but moderate. There were several of last week's un-
sold samples on the stands. The demand for all discrip-
tions of both red and white was in a very inactive state.
Selected qualities, however, were held at last Monday's
prices ; but damp and out of condition sorts were the turn
lower.
For forward delivery, so little was doing that prices
were almost nominal.
We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with foreign wheat. For most descriptions we had a
slow inquiry, and inferior parcels were the turn lower than
on this day se'ennight.
Floating cargoes were heavy, at late rates. Since Mon-
day last, 30 vessels have reached Falmouth from the west-
ward.
Barley, the show of which was good, moved off slowly,
and the quotations had a downward tendency.
Malt was excessively dull in sale, and offered at droop-
ing prices. The quantity on the market was large.
We had a moderate inquiry for oats, at last week's cur-
rency.
The sale for beans was inactive on former terms.
Peas moved off slowly, at barely the late decline.
We had a dull inquiry for flour, but no change took
place in prices.

There was only a moderate supply of foreign stock on
sale in to-day's market, yet the demand for it ruled heiwy,
at drooping prices.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own graiing
districts were considerably on the increase, and of greatly
improved quality. Notwithstanding that the attendance
of buyers was tolerably good, and that the weather was
favourable for slaughtering, the beef trade ruled very inac-
tive, at a decline in the prices of Monday last of 2d per
Blbs. The top figure for the best lots was 4s 8d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we re-
ceived 2,400 Scots and short-horns • from other part of
England, 700 of various breeds ; and from Scotland,'24o
horned and polled Scots.
The numbers of sheep were somewhat in excess of Mon-
day last. Even the primest Downs met a very slow in-
quiry, at late rates. All other breeds moved off 'heavily,
but we have no actual decline to notice in prices. The
general quality of the sheep was by no means first-rate.
Calves, the supply of which was good, sold slowly at last
Monday's currency. The foreign calves have come to hand
in wretched condition.
The pork trade ruled dull, at last week's quotations.
