Most of Hie provincial markets held on Satarday-Jers S
rather scantily supplied with wheat, yet the demand ruled
heavy, and prices had a downward tendency. Barley and
malt commanded very little attention. Oats, beans, peas,
and flour were the turn in favour of buyers.
Advices from New York to the 4th inst. state that flout
was in improved request, and rather dearer. Grain, how-
ever, was dull in sale. Most of the continental market"
have continued inactive.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week,
were limited. The imports from abroad amounted to
28,293 quarters of wheat, 7,334 barley, 28,144 oats, 500
beans, 147 peas, 1,247 linseed, 84 sundry seeds, 1,805 sacks
and 4,883 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to our market, to-day, the arrivals of wheat,
coastwise from Essex and Kent, were on a very limited
scale, and the receipts from other quarters were trifling.
By land carriage, scarcely any supply reached us; how.
ever, the show of samples of both red and white was
small. Although there were several country buyers in
attendance, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home
produce was excessively heavy, at a decline in the prices
of Monday last of from is to fully 2s per quarter.
For forward delivery, next to nothing was doing, al.
though there were offers at 3s per quarter less mon!y.
We were heavily supplied with foreign wheat. Millers,
generally, purchased for immediate wants, and no progress
could be made in sales except at a decline of from is. to
2s. per quarter, compared with this day se'nnight.•
All floating cargoes were dull, and lower to purchase.
Barly, the supply of which was good, moved off heavily,
and prices had a downward tendency.
We had a very dull sale for malt, the prices of which
were rather in favour of buyers.
The show of oats was extensive. Good sound corn rea-
lized previous rates, but inferior parcels were 6d. per
quarter lower.
There was a fair sale for beans, at very full currencies.
We had very little doing in peas, on lower terms.
There was a dull sale for flour, and the quotations mid
somewhat easier than on Monday last.

"We were heavily supplied with foreign beasts and calves;
but the number of sheep and lambs was by no means sz•
tensive.

The arrivals of beasts fresh up from the northern grazing
districts were seasonably largo, and of full average quality.
Notwithstanding that the attendance of buyers was good,
the beef trade was in a depressed state, at a decline in the
prices obtained on Monday last of 2d per Sibs. In some
instances, the quotations gave way 4d per Slbs, and a total
clearance was not effected. The extreme value of the
best Scots was 4s 10d per Sibs. From Lincolnshire, Leices-
tershire, and Northamptonshire, we received 2,200 short
horns ; from other parts of England, 800 of various
breeds ; and from Scotland, 160 horned and polled Scot..
We were rather heavily supplied with sheep, which, for
the most part, came to hand in good condition. A few
prime old Downs and of the best half-breds realised last
week's currency ; but all other breeds of sheep were very
dull, and 2d per Sibs lower than on this day se'nnight.
The supply of lambs was good. All breeds moved off
heavily, and prices gave way quite 2d per 81bs. The ex.
tremo top quotation was 5s 8d per Sibs.
Primo small calves wore scarce, and held on former
terms. Inferior calves, the show of which was large, were
very dull, and quite 2(l' per 81bs lower.
Pigs were iu fair average supply, and heavy request, At
barely stationary prices.
Tho arrivals by sea from Ireland last week were 103
calves.
