MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were but
reolerately supplied with wheat, yet the demand ruled in-
active, and in some instances prices had a downward ten-
dency. There wai less inquiry for barley and malt. The
oat trade was firm, at extreme rates. Beans, peas, and
flour commanded very full prices.
The latest advices from New York state that both grain
and flour were in good requests on English account. Most
of the continental markets have continued firm.

Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain
were but moderate. From abroad we received 47,901
quarters of wheat, 5,430 barley, 15,823 oats, 2,015 bean',
2,684 peas, 60 tares, 3,903 linseed, 1,767 rapeseed, 37 mus-
tard seed, 592 sundry seeds, 6,358 sacks and 6,492 barrels
of flour. _ _ .

Fresh up to this morning's market, the arrivals of wheat
from Essex, Bent, &c., coastwise, were very moderate,
but in fair average condition. By land carriage, the re-
ceipts were small ; hence the show of samples of both red
and white was limited. Owing, in a great measure, to
several barrels of flour having come to hand from France,
Spain, and Italy, buyers_purchased all kinds of English
wheat with extreme cauti, and the demand was in a very
inactive state, at prices barely equal to those of Monday
last. For forward delivery very little was doing.
We were well supplied with foreign wheat. Millers
almost generally restricted their purchases to retail quan-
tities. In the quotations, however, scarcely any change
took place. Floating cargoes—the arrival of which from
the westward continue small—were held at full prices,
but the inquiry was by no means active. Fine English
barley was scarce, and quite as dear as last week. Grind-
ing and distilling sorts met a dull inquiry, and were the
turn in favour of buyers.
We had a fair inquiry for malt, on former terms.
Although the show of oats was moderate, the trade was
dull, at last week's currency.
The inquiry for all kinds of beans was firm, and prices
well supported.
White peas moved off slowly, at is. to 2s. per quarter
less money. Grey and maple were quite as dear.
Flour was in moderate request, at late currencies.

Letters from Holland state that several rather large pur-
chases of stock have been effected for the French markets.
In Spain, nearly 4,000 beasts have been disposed of for the
same destination.

We were well supplied with foreign stock to-day, but
its general quality was inferior.
From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of beasts
were rather on the increase, and in improved condition.
The attendance of both town and country butchers being
good, the beef trade ruled steady. In some instances, the
medium breeds were 2d per 81bs higher than on this day
se'nnight. Otherwise, the beef trade was firm, and last
week's currency was well supported. The best Scots sole
at 4s 4d per 81bs.
The receipts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire was 3,000 short horns. From all other
quarters, the arrivals were very limited.
With sheep we were seasonably well supplied, and their
general weight improved to some extent. Prime breeds
moved off steadily, at very full prices ; but most other
breeds sold slowly, and last week's currency was barely
supported.
There was a good inquiry for calves, the supply of which
was moderate, at prices fully equal to those of Friday.
Pigs were in fair average supply, and moderate request,
on former terms.
