CORN EXCHANGE.

There was less activity in most of the provincial markets
held on Saturday, nevertheless, wheat supported the late
rise in the quotations ; but barley, owing to the large sup-
plies on offer, might have been purchased on lower terms.
The oat trade was firm, and the quotations had an upward
tendency. Beans, peas, and flour were very firm.

The amount of business doing in grain in most of the
near continental ports continues comparatively limited,
yet holders have been firm. The latest advices from New
York state that a large business was doing in grain and
flour for shipment to England, on higher terms.
Very limited supplies of home produce arrived up to our
market last week. The imports were good, viz, 23,228
quarters of wheat, 4,485 barley, 9,470 oats, 15 beans, 870
peas, 2,012 linseed, 1,964 rapeseed, 295 sundry seeds, and
36,763 barrels of flour. ,
Fresh up to this morning's market, coastwise, from Essex
and Kent, the supply of wheat was on the increase, and of
fair average quality. From all other quarters, coastwise
and by land carriage, the receipts were moderate. The
attendance of both town and country millers was compa.
ratively small, and only a moderate business was transacted
at, last Monday's prices, but at which a good clearance was
effected. The largo imports of American flour induced
great caution in effecting sales of home grown wheat for
forward delivery.
With foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex-granary, we
were tolerably well, but not to say extensively, supplied.
On the whole, about an average business was doing in most
kinds. Prices remained the same as on this day se'nnight.
Very few transactions took place on continental account.
In floating cargoes, several sales took place, but wholly
for home consumption.
Malting barley was dull, and Is. per qr. lower than on
this day se'nnight. Grinding and distilling sorts sold on
former terms.
We had rather a slow sale for malt ; neverthless, the
quotations were supported.
Oats—the supplyof which was small—moved off steadily,
at from 6d. to ls. per qr. above the rates of Monday last.
There was only a moderate inquiry for beans, on former

terms.
The demand for peas was in a sluggish state, at late
currencies.
Flour was tolerably- firm. The top price of the best
flour made was 755. per 2801bs.

The arrivals of stock from Ireland last week direct by
sea were 22 beasts, 16 calves, and 40 pigs.
To-day's market was very scantily supplied with foreign
stock, but the fresh receipts of beasts from our own grazing
districts were considerably on the increase, and of full
average quality. Notwithstanding that the attendance of
buyers was good, the beef trade was in a depressed state,
at barely Friday's depression in the quotations of 2d per
Sibs. The primest Scots sold at 4s 8d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 2,200 Scots and short-horns ; from the northern
districts 730 short-horns, and from Scotland 600 horned
and polled Scots.
Notwithstanding that the numbers of sheep were com.
paratively small, the sale for all breeds ruled very inactive
at Friday's decline of 2d per 81bs. The supply of diseased
sheep was not so large as on Monday last.
With calves we were scantily supplied ; nevertheless
the veal trade ruled heavy, and prices were not supported.
The top figure was 5s per bibs.
Pigs were in full average supply, and sluggish demand
at barely last week's currency.

NEWOATE AND LEADENHALL.
Since Monday last very large supplies of country-killed
meat have been received up to these markets, chiefly by
railway, and which have had a depressing influence upon
the trade. To-day, the show of meat slaughtered in the
metropolis was god, and about an average business was
transacted, as followsb

wise and by railway. The imports are only 40 tons from
Belfast. Tho demand is steady, and prices are well sup-
ported. Kent and Essex Regents, 140 s to 155 s ; Scotch
ditto, 130 s to 140 s ; Scotch cups, 100 s to 120 s per ton.

WOOL.

offered changed hands at full prices. There is an improved
demand for both English and colonial wools in the private
market, at extreme rates. Last week's imports were 656
bales from Taganrog, 203 from Bombay, 12 from Madras,
93 from Buenos Apes, 487 from Port Philip, 261 from
