MARKET

1,5 DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were tole-
rably well supplied with wheat ; nevertheless, the demand
for all kinds ruled steady at 2s to 4s per qr more money.
There was an active inquiry for barley, malt, and oats on
higher terms. Beaus, peas, and flour moved off readily, at
extreme currencies.
Advices from New Fork, to the 7th inst., state that
flour was in active request, at an advance of 25 cents per
barrel. Wheat was from sto 10 cents per bushel higher,
at which large transactions had taken place. Most of the
continental markets have ruled steady. In prices, no ma-
terial change has taken place.
Very moderate supplies of English grain were received
up to our market last week. The imports amounted to
32,058 qrs of wheat, 9,001 barley, 25,418 oats, 9,887 tons
linseed, 5,000 rapeseed, 25 mustard seed, 2,160 tares,
1,908 sundry seeds, 50 sacks and 5,666 barrels of flour.
The quantity of wheat received up to our market, to-
day, coastwise from Essex and Kent, was somewhat on the
increase, compared with Monday last ; but its general
quality was by no means first-rate. By land carriage from
the midland districts, the supply was very moderate. The
show of samples of both red and white was by no means
large ; nevertheless, the demand for all kinds was by no
means so active as on Friday. However, a full average
business was transacted, at an advance in the currencies
obtained on Monday last, of from 3s to 4s per quarter.
For forward delivery, very high rates were demanded by

the growers.
With foreign wheat we were fairly supplied ; yet the
demand for most kinds ruled firm, at 3s. per quarter
above the rates current on this day se'nnight. About
3,000 quarters changed hands for shipment to the coati.

a sit.
Floating cargoes from the westward were firm, and sales
were effected at a rise of 3s. per quarter.
Very little English barley was brought forward, but the
show of foreign was moderately good. The trade was firm,
at a rise of ls. per quarter.
We were rather scantily supplied with malt, in which a
steady business was doing, at extreme rates.
There was a good inquiry for both English and foreign
oats, at from 6d to is per quarter above last Monday's
quotations. The stock of foreign has become much re-
duced.
We were steadily supplied with beans, which moved off
freely, at very full prices.
The sale for peas was steady, on former terms.
Several floating cargoes of Indian corn changed hands
for the continent.
The flour trade was firm, and American parcels were la
per barrel dearer.

The general quality of the above arrivals has been very
inferior.

To-day's market was very heavily supplied with all kinds
foreign stock. The quality of the beasts and sheep was
very inferior ; but there were some good Dutch calves on
offer.

...___ . .
The arrivals of home-fel beasts fresh up this morning
were seasonably large as to number. The condition of
most kinds was, however, by no means first rate, hence
the primest kinds were in steady request, at fully last Mon-
day's prices ; indeed, in some instances, the best Scots
were worth 4s 6d per 81bs. Short horns, Devons, runts,
Szc., were in fair request, at full quotations.
From the northern grazing districts, we received 2,200
short horns ; from other parts of England, 500 of various
kinds ; and from Scotland 140 horned and polled Scots.
With sheep we were tolerably well, but not to say hea-
vily, supplied, the time of year considered, Prime old
Downs, from their comparative scarcity moved off
steadily, at full quotations ; but all other breeds meet a
dull inquiry, at a decline in the (currencies obtained on
this day se'nnight of 2d per 81bs.
Calves, the supply of which was rather moderate, were
rather dull at Friday's prices.
We had a decided improvement in the sale for pigs, the
value of which had an upward tendency.
