MARKET

CORN EXCHANGE.
Although most of the country markets held on Sts turday
were but moderately supplied with wheat, the d ems ,nd for
all kinds ruled very inactive, at barely sto.tionr ay prices.
In barley and malt, the business doing was comi ?ars.tively
small. The sale for oats ruled steady, but bel los, peas,
and flower met a dull inquiry.
The latest advices from New York represent th e demand
for flour as in a very inactive state, on former to rms. In
grain next to nothing was doing. Throughout the Conti-
nent, the trade has continued dull.
Up to our markets, last week, the receipts of English
grain were but moderate. From abroad, we received
26,562 quarters of wheat, 1,270 barley, 634 oats, 4 ,725 rye,
2,018 beans, 33 tares, 34 linseed, 8 mustard seed, 16
sundry seeds, 990 sacks, and 8,967 barrels of flow c.
The quantity of wheat received fresh up to th is worn-
ing's market, coastwise from Essex and Kent, was very
moderate, but in somewhat improved condition.
From the east coast the arrivals were very lin tif,od, and
the receipts by land carriage from the Midland. Counties
and other parts of England were comparatively trifling.
Notwithstanding that the show of samples of both: red and
white was small, the demand for all kinds was f ar from.
active ;—nevertheless, nearly, or quite, the whole of the
supply changed hands, at prices equal to those of -J Sionday
last.

There was a slight improvement in the demand f( ,rwheat
for delivery during the present month ; but, as the growers
generally demanded higher rates than the milli ;11 were
disposed to give, the business doing was trifling.
The show of foreign wheat, ex granary, as well., as from
fresh arrivals, was seasonably extensive. For go. ad ht -levy
parcels we had a moderate inquiry, at full c arrene, iss ;
but low and middling kinds commanded - very li. ttla
attention.
Floating cargoes of wheat—the number of which v rats no
means large—moved off steadily, and previous rates vi.ers
well supported.
With both English and foreign barley we wer a but
moderately supplied. Malting parcels generally ch anged
hands at full prices. In grinding and distilling sort s very
little was doing, at late rates.
Malt, the supply of which was moderate, mo' vex I. off

slowly, on former terms.
The aggregate supply of oats was very moderato 4 All
qualities sold steadily, but we have no change to nc ,tie 3in
the quotations.
Very few English beans were brought forward; : yet • the
sale for them was inactive, at late figures.
Peas were in short supply, and sluggish inq- airy, , on
previous terms.
We were well supplied with most kinds of flour, the il t'
quirt' for which ruled inactive, at former currencies.

On the whole the supply of foreign stock in to-da y'a
market was tolerably good, and in fair average conditior t.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning were decidedly extensive, and of
full average weight. Notwithstanding that the attends] ice
of butchers was tolerably good, the demand for all kinds lof
beasts was in a depressed state, at a decline in the quo ta"
tions paid on Monday last of 2d per 81bs, and a total de sr;
ance was not effected. A very few superior Scots retain ea,
-4s 2d ; but the general top figure for beef did not exce ea
4s per 81bs.
The receipts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Can "
bridgeshire amounted to 2,000 Scots and short horns; frau
other parts of England, 700 of various kinds ; and, from
Scotland, 700 horned and polled Scots.
There was a considerable increase in the supply of sheep 7,
hence, the demand for that description of stock was.
heavy, at a fall i down urrencies of 2d per Blbs. A few
very superior old, in the wool, changed hands at
5s 2d, but the general price was 5s per 81bs. Out of the
wool, the quotations were from 4s to, in some few in-
stances, 4s 2d per 81bs. Lambs, the arrivals of which were
good, sold slowly, at from 5a to 6s per 81bs.
We were well supplied with calves, for which tho in-
quiry was heavy, at 2d per 81bs less money.

BOROUGH HOP.
Our market is very scantily supplied with all kinds

per cwt. An import of 37 bales took place from Antvier?
last week.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
The receipts of home-grown potatoes have been ve:til
limited since Monday last ; but the imports from abro

Dunkirk, 40 from Gravelines, 30G from Rouen, 50 f!,:x..
Calais, 4 baskets from Harlingen, and 4 bags fromlto„.

95s to 1358; Scotch ditto, 95s to 135 s ; foreign,

• WOOL.
During the week a full average business has been doing
in English wool, the stocks of which are unusually sinal,,,
and prices were steadily supported. Amongst the salesl,
been one of 50,000 lbs. for the Belgian markets. Sheasi•l3
is now becoming pretty general ; nevertheless, any decitig,
increase in the supply is wholly out of the question. ,
foreign and colonial wools very little is doing. The ‘,ll,tcj.
ports have been confined to only 19 bales from Ostend, '
ditto fromilaniburgh, and 6 from Antwerp.
