CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading country markets held on Saturday wens
very scantily supplied with wheat ; yet the demand for all
kinds was in a sluggish state, at about stationary prices-
Barley and malt had a downward tendency. Beans, peas,
and flour command very little attention.
The latest advices from New York state that flour wa
firm, and rather dearer. The Baltic, French and Mediter
ranean markets have been dull and drooping for most er•
titles.
Very moderate supplies of English grain were received
up to our market last week. The imports amounted
21,837 quarters of wheat, 10,084 barley, 22,315 oat?, 8
rye, 436 peas, 15 tares, 4,174 linseed, 643 rapeseed, 35
sundry seeds, 2,616 sacks and 5,999 barrels of flour.
A very limited quantity of old English wheat was re'
ceived fresh up to our market to-day coastwise and by land
carriage; but there were about 150 quarters of the present
year's growth on offer from Essex, Kent, and Sussex, in
excellent condition. These parcels changed hands at from
64s to 75s per quarter—the latter quotation being for
Talavera. The first parcels of new corn offered at the
corresponding market day in 1853, and realised from 5611
to 63s per quarter. For all kinds, the demand was in a
dull state, notwithstanding that very unfavourable accounts
came to hand respecting the progress of the potato disetle,
at a decline in the prices obtained on Monday last of 'Pi
per quarter.
The show of foreign wheat was tolerably good. About
an average business was transacted in good and Baltic
parcels on lower terms. All other kinds were dull, and
2s per quarter cheaper.
No English barley was at market, but the show of foreign
was larger. The trade ruled heavy, at from is to 2s per
quarter less money.
The inquiry for malt was in a depressed state, and the
quotations were the turn in favour of buyers. The oat
trade was heavy, but no material change took place ill
value. . _

• ______.
The few beans on offer met a dull inquiry, and prices
showed a tendency to decline.
In peas, so little was doing that the quotations were
almost nominal.
Indian corn was held at full quotations.
The flour •trade was dull. In prices, however, veil
little change took place.

SMITHFIELD.
We were well supplied with foreign suck, the quality
of which was very inferior. The demand for all kinds was
heavy, and prices had a downward tendency.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of be
fresh up to-day were seasonably good, and we observed a
decided improvement in their quality.
Notwithstanding that the attendance of buyers We°
good, the beef trade was in a very sluggish state, at
decline in the quotations of fully 2d per 81bs, comPare'
with Monday last. The top figure for beef was 4s 10d Per
Blbs.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire, '
f Leicestershire, ~311,„
Northamptonshire amounted to 2,300 shorthorns • irccn''''
other parts of England, 400 of various kinds; and
r°—
Scotland, 110 Scots.
The supply of sheep was good, and most kinds came
h:ind in fair average condition. Prime old Downs reeve
off steadily, at full prices. Otherwise, the mutton trade
was in a sluggish state, at barely last week's currency. s
We were well supplied with lambs. The trade 04
heavy, at Friday's decline in value of 2d per 81bs. de
The supply of calves was extensive ; and the veal tra
was very depressed, at from 6d to 8d per Blbs beneath bob
Monday's prices. to
Pigs were in good supply and heavy request, at
la
rates. ed
