CORN EXCHANGE.
About an average business was transacted in wheat in
the larger country markets held on Saturday. In prices
no material change took place. The barley trade was
heavy, at a decline of 2s per quarter. Malt was offering
on lower terms. Oats, peas, and flour were steady. Beans
were is to 2s dearer.
Advices from New York to the sth inst., state that
wheat and flour were in brisk request, and dearer. The
Continental markets have continued tolerably firm for most
descriptions of produce.
Up to our market last week, the arrivals of English
grain were very moderate. From abroad we received
24,2 '9 quarters of wheat, 5,475 barley ; beans, 122 ; peas,
2,506; tares, 181; linseed, 700; rapeseed, 214; mustard
seed, 170 ; fine dry seeds, 164 ; flour, 1,191 sacks, and
3,058, barrels of flour.
The quantity of Erglish wheat received fresh up to our
market to-day, coastwise, was but moderate. By land
carriage, the receipts were small ; hence, the show of sam-
ples of both re,, and white was by no means extensive. On
the whole, the attendance of buyers was good, and a fair
average business was transacted in wheat of home produce,
at last Monday's quotations.
There were several inquiries for forward delivery parcels,
but without leading to much business.
Notwithstanding that the supply of foreign wheat was
seasonably extensive, the demand for that article was
steady. In the quotations we have no change to notice.
Floating cargoes were quite as dear as last week.
Landomiska, 65s ; fine Galatz, 66s to 68s • Taganrog, 62s ;
and Egyptian Laide, 50s per quarter, all Charges included.
We were well supplied with barley, which sold heavily,
at a decline of from is to 2s per quarter.
Malt—the show of which was good- ruled dull, at is to
2s per quarter less money.
With oats we were well supplied, yet tbe inquiry for
them was active, at 6d to 1s per quarter more money.
There was an active demand for beans, at a rise in price
of quite Is. per quarter.
Peas sold steadily at full quotations.
There was only a moderate sale for flour, on former
terms.

Most of the foreign beasts at hand since our last have
been in very middling condition ; but some very superior
crows in milk have come to hand from Rotterdam. In the
general weight and condition of the Dutch sheep, a great
improvement has lately taken place.
We were well supplied with foreign stock to-day. On
the whole, a good business was transacted in must kinds.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis-
tricts were moderately extensive as to numbers, and in fair
average condition. Their general weight, however, was
by no means heavy. The weather being favourable for
and the attendance of both wn and country
buyers good, the beef trade ruled strong, and last Monday's
prices were well suppor.ed. The best Scots realised 4s 6d
per Sibs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and North-
amptonshire, we received 2,800 short horns ; from other
parts of England, 300 of various breeds ; and from Scot-
land, 56 Scots.
There was a slight increase in the supply of home-fed
sheep. Prime Downs moved off steadily, at full prices,
viz., 5s 2,1 per Blbs ; but half-breds were the turn in f ,-vour
of the buyers—the top figure being 4s 101 per 81bs. Long-
wools met a slow sale, and, in some instances, the curren-
cies had a downward tendency. With calves, we were
tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied. The veal
trade was r..ther firm ; ueverth less, last Monday's prices
were barely supported. The priciest calves realised 4s 6d
to 4s 8d per Slbs.
There was a lair demand
