TOTAL SUPPLY.

FOLEIGN SUPPLY .

The leading country raarkets held on Saturday were
fairly supplied with wheat, in which only a limited busi-
ness was transacted, on somewhat easier terms. Barley
met a dull inquiry, at late figures ; but malt was in good
request. The oat trade was dull, and prices had a down-
ward tendency. Beans, peas, and flour, ruled heavy.
Advices from New York to the sth inst. state that loth
wheat and flour were in brisk demand—the former at an
advance from 5 to 6 cents per bushel, the latter 30 to 40
cents per barrel. The Continental markets have con.
tinned firm, at very full prices.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last
week, were on the increase. From abroad, we received
75,137 quarters of wheat, 6,676 barley, 38,447 oats, 2,309
beans, 576 peas, 135 tares, 8,149 linseed, 472 rapeseed,
202 mustardseed, 478 sundry seeds, and 3,965 barrels of
flour.

The quantity of wheat received fresh up, to-day, coast-
wise from Essex and Kent, was but moderate, and greatly
out of condition, arising from the prevailing damp weather.
From the east coast, as well as by railway, the arrivals
were comparatively small ; hence, the show of samples
was far from extensive. Notwithstanding that the at-
tendance of both town and country millers was by no
means large, there was a slight improvement in the de-
mand for home-grown wheats—arising from the warlike
intelligence at hand from the East—and Friday's decline
in prices was recovered ; hence, the quotations were the
same as on Monday last.
The supply of foreign wheat was larger than for some
time past. On the whole a full average business was
transacted in most kinds at full rates of curreney.
The arrival of floating cargoes from the westward has
been small. To-day, transactions took place at extreme
rates.

Fine barley was in fair request, at full quotations. In-
ferior malting and distilling scrts had a downward ten-
dency.
Malt was in good supply, and steady request, at full
quotations.
The show of oats being large, the trade was dull, at a
decline in the prices of Monday last of from 6d to is per
quarter.
We had a moderate inquiry for beaus. In the quota-
tions, very little change took place.
White boiling peas sold at unusually high figures. Other
kinds were steady.

Our market to-day was very extensively supplied with
each kind of foreign stock, for which the demand ruled
heavy, at drooping prices.
The arrivals of home-fed stock being considerably on the
increase, the weather very unfavourable, the attendance of
country buyers comparatively small, and Newgate and
Leadeuhall being largely supplied, the beef trade was in a
very depressed state, at a decline on the quotations ob-
tained on Monday last of from 2d to in some instances 4d
per Sibs., and a total clearance was not effected. The ex-
treme value of the best sorts was 4s 2d per Sibs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,200 shorthorns ; from other parts of
England, 800 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ; and from
Scotland 4 soots. _ _ _

With sheep we were seasonably well supplied, and there
was a slight improvement in their general quality. Even
the primest old Downs were heavy, and 2d per 81bs. lower.
All other kinds ruled very dull, at 2d to 4d per 81bs. less
money. The extreme value of Downs was 5s per 81bs.
Calves, the supply of which was good, sold heavily, at
from 2d to 4d per 81bs. less money.
In pigs very little was doing, at 2d per 81bs, decline.
The supply was tolerably extensive.
