COI-1N EXCHANGE.
The loading country markets held on Saturday were
very scantily supplied with wheat ; yet the demand for all
kinds ruled heavy, at a decline in value of fully 28
per quarter. Tho sale for barley and malt was dull, on.
easier terms. The oat trade was steady, at full quotations ;
but all other articles were much neglected.
The whole of the continental markets have been de-
pressed, and prices generally had a downward tendency. 182 t;
Our latest advices from Now York are to the effect that 2
flour was on the advance, owing to the limited supplies 50
on offer. 13

Very moderate supplies of English wheat were received
up to our market last week. From abroad we received
13,760 quarters of wheat, 8,696 barley, 19,475 oats,
183 rye, 2,487 beans, 432 pews, 10 tares, 2,777 linseed,
1,375 rapeseed, 3,430 sundry seeds, 1,509 sacks, and 3,901
barrels of flour.

There was rather a large supply of new English wheat
received fresh up to our market, this morning, from Essex
and Kent--it exceeding 1,000 quarters; and its general
quality was unusually fine. The show of old wheat was
trifling. Owing to the prevailing fine weather for harvest
work, and the
,very favourable accounts which have come
to hand respecting the yield of the crops, the demand for
all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled excessively heavy,
at a decline in the prices obtained, on Monday last of
from eight to ten shillings per quarter, and a clearance
was not effected. •
We were well supplied with most descriptions of foreign
wheat. The business doing in that grain was trifling, at
from 6a to 8s per quarter under the rates of Monday last.
The few floating cargoes on sale off Falmouth were quite
neglected.

We are scantily supplied with English barley ; but the
supply of foreign was large. The trade was heavy, and,
in some instances, the currencies had a downward ten-
dency.
All kinds of malt were dull, and the turn in favour of
buyers.
We were fairly supplied with oats, in which about an
average business was doing, at full prices.
There was very little inquiry for beans, at about pre-
vious rates.
The sale for peas was dull. In prices, however, very
little change took place.
The flour trade was heavy, at a fall of fully 5s per sack,
and 2s per barrel, compared with Monday last.

The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was rather
extensive, but in very middling condition.
From our own grazing districts we received a full average
number of beasts, but their general weight and quality
were inferior. Owing to their extreme scarcity the
primest Scots sold steadily, at last Monday's prices—viz ,
4s 10d to fully 5s per Sibs ; but all other breeds met a dull
inquiry, at, in most instances, a decline in the quotations
of 2d per 81bs. A large portion of the supply was com-
posed of "jobbed" beasts.
The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire,
and Northamptonshire amounted to 2,100 short-horns ;
from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ;
and from Scotland, 21 horned and polled Scots.
We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with sheep ; but the majority of the supply was inferior.
Downs and half-breds moved off steadily, at full prices;
but other breeds met a dull inquiry, on former terms.
Prime lambs wire scarce, and quite as dear as last week.
Otherwise, the lamb trade was dull, at barely late rates.
Although the show of calves was very moderate, the
veal trade was in a sluggish state, at barely the late decline
in value. The top figure was 4s 4d per 81bs.
Pigs, the supply of which was very moderate, moved off
heavily, on former terms.
