CORN EXCHANGE.

The 'le ,ading country markets held on Saturday 'were)
modera tc ly well supplied with home-grown wheats, in
which re, ther more business was transacted, at full q u ota-
tions. I .'ino malting barley, the supplies of which -were
limited, : moved off steadily, at extreme currencies, whilst
the value , of grinding and distilling sorts was well :sup-
ported. In the prices of malt no change took place.
Beans, p eas, and flour were very dull.
Most o f the continental markets continued inactive for
all arti Idles of grain, in the prices of which very little
change ihas been reported. The last advices fropi. New
York state that only a limited business was doing in grain
and floc u • on English account.
The it rivals of home-grown produce up to our ma rket
last we elk were moderate. From abroad we received
2,067 qttarters of wheat, 1,620 barley, 12,285 oats., 317
beans, ISur peas, 200 linseed, 117 sundry seeds, and 1,357
sacks of '
The o Lnantity of wheat received fresh up to this in orn-
ing's m a rket, coastwise, from Essex, Bent, Lincolnshire,
wa s very moderate, but in improved condition. From
the Eas t coast the supply was limited. By land carriage
the rec ei pts of both red and white samples were un im-
poi :Ant ; hence the quantity on offer was small. Notwith-
s'Andin g that the attendance of both town and country
millers :c vas by no means numerous, the demand for all
kinds of wheat of home produce i sled steady, and a clear-
ance webs effected at prices fully equal to those paid on
Monday- last. The amount of business doing for forward
delivery was comparatively trifling, yet growers in gen.oral
were ve,r y firm in their demands.
The ipply of fresh foreign wheat was limited • but we
had ag N supply of granaried samples. Good andmedium
parcels moved off steadily, at full currencies ; but damp
qualitie c commanded very little attention at la:,e rates.
In flc :sting cargoes, comparatively few transactions took
place. Prices, however, were supported, as the arrivals of
late ha- vex been small.

Fine writing barley was very scarce, and quite as dear
as on Al :o nday last. Grinding and distilling sorts were in
fair reo tu est, at full prices.
MALv.—The supply of which was tolerably good, moved
off stem lily. In the quota.:;!Ams, no change took place.
The s upplies of home grown and foreign oats being sea-
sonably axtensive, the demand for that description of pro-
duce wa a somewhat inactive, at late figures.
There -was rather more business doing in beans, at pre-
vious qu tc •tations.

The supply of foreign stock here to-day was ser,sonably
good. Amongst it we noticed 109 oxen from Spain.
We have had an arrival of 25 beasts, 22 calves, and 42
pigs direct by sea from Ireland.
Fresh. up from oiir own grazing districts the arrivals of .
beasts this morning were moderately exte isive, as to num-
ber, and in fair average condition. Owing to the large
number of buyers in attendance, and the favourable state
of the weather for slaughtering, the beef trade ruled some-
what brisk, at an advance in the quotations obtained on
Monday- last of 2d per 8 lbs., and a clearance was readily
effected- The primest lots were worth 4s. 2d. per 8 lbs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire ,we
received 1,700 Scots, short-horns, &c. From other parts
of Enghuid 600 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ; and from
Scotland 700 horned and polled Scots.
The nun abers of sheep were again very limited ; neverthe-
less, the .demand for that description of stock was in a
sluggish state, at the late improvement in value. The
primest old Downs were worth ss. 2d. per 8 lbs. The few
shorn sheep on offer sold at id. per 8 lbs. beneath those in
the wool.

Although the supply of calves was limited, the veal
trade, arising from the cold weather, ruled very inactive at
Friday's decline in prices. The top figure was 4s. 6d. per
8 lbs.

We had only a moderate inquiry for pigs, yet the cur-
rencies were well supported.
