To-day's market was fairly supplied with foreign

the supply was good.
From our own grazing districts, the receipts of i?'43l:s'
fresh up this morning were on the increase, and inbco
cellent condition. On the whole, the attendance of ,et,
town and country butchers was tolerably numerous ;
owing to the change in the weather, there was less neti"fitl
o,r
in the trade. However, last week's prices were well 00
ported, and the general top figure for beef was the saie
on Friday last, viz., 4s 4d per 81bs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and re.
bridgeshire amounted to 1,800 Scots and short horns ;
other parts of England, 600 Herefords, runts, Devon*
and from Scotland, 300 horned and polled Scots. Of I

very moderate ; but the general weight of the supply .40
a fair average one. Notwithstanding that the 01"0.
trade was considered in a very sluggish state, late prig

There is still some activity in the market for all dio

CORN EXCHANGE.
Most of the provincial markets held on Saturday we'°
but moderately supplied with wheat, yet the demand far
all kinds was in a sluggish state at drooping prices. Ball
moved off steadily at full quotations. Oats were quite
dear ; but malt, beans, peas, and flour were very
lower to purchase.
Advices from New York state that both wheat and fiat
were in active request, at higher terms. In most of the
continental markets the general demand has ruled horl'
notwithstanding that the supplies on offer have been by no
means extensive.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of Englie
grain were limited. From abroad we received 9,439 611:
of wheat, 5,703 barley, 2,110 oats, 1,700 rye, 1,724 hot
2,005 tares, 2,796 linseed, 112 mustard seed, 66 sun'
seeds, 700 sacks and 11,076 brls. of flour.
Fresh up to this morning's market, the arrivals of whit
from Kent, coastwise, were rather limited ; from Est!
moderate. From the east coast, the supply was trifling
By land carriage the receipts were small, hence the A°4
of samples of th red and and white were limited, but ,
fair average condition. The attendance of both town ft
country millers being far from numerous, and the pres' nf
of foreign flour rather heavy, the demand for all kiwi°
wheat of home produce was in a sluggish state. In pricef,
however, no change took place, anda total clearance "'
with difficulty effected.
The amount of business doing in wheats for forward
ivery was trifling in the extreme.

With foreign wheat we were again extensively suPP"
