CORN EXCHANGE.
Considerable inactivity prevailed in the demand for
wheat in the country markets held on Saturday, notwith-
stading that the supplies on offer were but moderate. All
spring corn—the receipts of which were on the increase—
moved off heavily, and the currencies had a downward
tendency.
The near continental markets have been dull for wheat
and other grain, on easier terms. Large shipments of
wheat and flour are being made from France and Belgium
to this country. The last accounts from New York are to
the effect that both wheat and flour were rather easier.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were very moderate. From abroad we received 17,533
quarters of wheat, 4,306 of barley, 3,193 oats, 8,040 beans,
170 peas, 212 tares, ','36 linseed, 1,048 rape seed, 40 mustard
seed, 465 sundry seeds ; 7,952 brls and 100 sacks of flour.
The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our
market to-day, coastwise, was very moderate, and in
middling condition. By land carriage, the supply was
small, and the show of samples was, consequently, limited.
Notwithstanding that the news from Russia is very war-
like, and that we had a fair number of country millers in
attendance, the demand for most kinds of wheat of home
produce was in a sluggish state, at last Monday's prices.
For forward delivery, so little was doing that the quota-
tions were almost nominal.
The shew of foreign wheat, fresh as well as the granary,
was good. The business doing in most kinds was compara-
tively limited. In the general quotations, however, no
material change took place.
Floating cargoes of wheat was held at full prices. Since
Monday last, 40 vessels have been reported at Falmouth
laden with grain.
We were well supplied with both English and foreign
barley. The demand for it was heavy, at last Monday's
decline in prices.
There was a large quantity of malt on show, for which
the inquiry was heavy, at barely stationary prices.
We had rather more doing in oats, the value of which
was well supported.
Beans were very dull, and ls. per qr. dearer than on
this day se'nnight.
Peas were heavy, and the turn lower.
The flour trade was dull, and inferior parcels were easier
to purchase.

Owing to the strong gales of Saturday, several steamers
laden with stock have not made their appearance, conse-
quently the show of foreign beasts, sheep, and calves here
to-day was limited.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning were very moderate but in fair ave-
rage condition. The attendance of buyers being good, the
bef trade rule bisk, at an advance in the prices obtained
one Monday last ofr 2d per Sibs, and a good clearance was
effected. The primest Scots were worth 4s 10d per 81bs.
There were received from Norfolk, Suffolk, &c. 2,200
Scots and short horns • from other parts of England, 500
of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 370 horned and
polled Scots.
With sheep we were seasonably well supplied. For all
breeds the sale was heavy in the extreme, and the curren-
cies gave way 2d per Blbs. The primest old Downs sold
at 5s per 81bs. Shorn sheep went at about 8d per 81bs
below those in the wool.
Very few calves were on offer. The veal trade ruled in-
active at last week's currency. The highest price was
5s 4d per 81bs.
Pigs were in moderate supply, and sluggish request, on
former terms.
