CORN EXCHANGE.

There was rather an active demand for wheat in the
whole of the country markets held on Saturday, and
prices advanced from 3s to 55 per quarter. Barley and
malt commanded very little attention ; but there was more
doing in oats and flour. Beans and peas were almost
nominal. Advices from New York to the 25th ult. state
that flour had advanced 6d to is per barrel. Most of the
continental markets have been rather inactive, and prices
almost generally have given way.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week,
were moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to
9,792 quarters of wheat, 8,220 barley, 11,543 oats, 4,965
beans, 95 peas, 4,337 linseed, 2,410 rapeseed, 1,930 sundry
seeds, including Indian corn, /77 sacks and 2,391 barrels
of lour. _

A very moderate supply of wheat was received up to our
market, to-day, coastwise from Essex and Kent, whilst the
receipts of that grain by land carriage were trifling. The
show of samples of both red and white was small, and the
demand, owing to the late heavy rains, was steady, at an
advance in the prices of Monday last of from 3s to fully
4s per quarter. The general condition of the samples was
by no means prime. There was no new wheat on the
market.

We had scarcely any sale for wheat for forward de-
livery.
There was rather a firm market for foreign wheat, the
show of which was good, and about an average business
was doing in most kinds, at from 3s to 4s per quarter
above the rates of this day se'nnight.
The few floating cargoes of wheat were held at 3s to 4s
per quarter more money.
We were well supplied with foreign barley. Holders
were firm, but the sales were chiefly confined to immediate
wants on former terms.

The malt trade was dull, but no change took place in
prices. _ _

We wore but moderately supplied with oats. The trade
was rather firm, and good sound corn was the turn dearer.
Scarcely any English beans were on sale ; but the supply
of foreign was good. The demand ruled inactive, at late
rains.

Peas moved off slowly, on former terms.
There was a better sale for flour. In some instances
ship and American parcels were is to 2s per sack and
barrel dearer.

Thero was a full average supply of foreign stock in to-
day's market, but its general quality was inferior.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
were moderate as to number, and there was a material
falling off in their general weight and condition. The
attendance of buyers being good, the beef trade ruled brisk,
at fully Friday's advance in the quotations of 2d per 81bs.
The general top price for beef was 5s per 81bs ; but a few
very superior Scots were sold, by weight, at 5s 4d per Blbs.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire amounted to 1,950 shorthorns ; from
other parts of England, 600 of various kinds ; and from
Scotland, 50 horned and polled Scots.
We were seasonably well supplied with sheep, but at
least two-thirds of them were in very middling condition.
The priniest sheep were, therefore, in good request, at full
currencies. Otherwise, the demand was in a sluggish
state, yet prices were fairly supported.
Prime lambs were scarcer, and quite as dear as last week.
Inferior breeds met a slow sale, at Friday's decline.
The show of calves was again extensive ; nevertheless,
the veal trade was steady, and prices had an upward ten-
dency.
Pigs—the supply of which was but moderate—sold on
former terms.
The total imports of foreign stock last week amounted
to 7,041 head. In the corresponding week in 1853 we re-
ceived 5,273 ; in 1852, 7,736 ; in 1851, 7,885 ; in 1850,
6,250 ; in 1849, 5,248 ; in 1848, 4,400 ; and in 1847, 7,164
head.
