MARKET NEWS--(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The errantry markets held on Saturday were fairly nip-
plied with English wheat. Most kinds met a slow sale,
yet very little change took place in the quotations.
Grinding barley was firm ; but other kinds, including
malt, commanded very little attention. Oats, beans, peas,
and flour were firm at full prices.
Advices from New York to the 12th inst. state that
flour was dull, and 12 cents per barrel lower. In grain,
very little was doing. The Continental markets have
ruled firm, at very full prices.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were small. From abroad, we received 4,745 quarters of
wheat, 3,370 barley, 8,744 oats, 11,816 beans, 87 peas,
13,195 linseed, 1,492 rapeseed, 71 mustard seed, 91 sundry
seeds, 2,223 sacks, and 689 barrels.
The supply of wheat received fresh up to our market to-
day from Essex was tolerably good, but the supply from
Kent was but moderate. On the whole, the show of sam-
ples of both red and white was by no means extensive.
For fine samples of both red and white, we had a fair de-
mand, at prices equal to those obtained on Monday last ;
but low and middling kinds moved off slowly, at, in some
instances, a decline in the quotations of is per quarter.
The general weight and condition of the new wheats were
good. Scarcely any old samples were on the market.
With foreign wheat we were fairly supplied. Good
heavy samples sold to a fair extent, on former terms. All
other kinds moved off slowly. In prices very little change
took place. There was scarcely any inquiry for shipment
to the continent.

Floating cargoes—the arrivals of which have been
small—were rather dull, yet prices were.supported.
Scarcely any English barley was on show ; and the
supply of foreign was very moderate. Most kinds changed
hands to a fair extent at full quotations.
Thera was a slight improvement in the malt trade. In
prices, however, no change took place.
Oats—the supply of which was small—were in good re-
quest, and the quotations were fully supported in every
instance.

Beans changed hands steadily at extreme rates.
The inquiry for peas was tolerably firm at. full prices.
The sale for flour was firm at last week's inquiry.

SMITHFIELD.

To-day's market was well supplied with foreign stock,
but its general quality was very inferior.
There was a considerable falling off in the-arrivals of
home-fed beasts fresh up this morning, and there were very
few good animals amongst them. Owing to the favourable
change in the weather, and the increased number of buyers
in attendance, the beef trade was brisk, at au advance in
the prices obtained on Monday last of 2,1 per Sibs. The
primest Scots sold at 5s per Blbs.
From, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 1,800 shorthorns; from other parts of
England, 530 of various breeds ; and from Scotland 45
horned and polled Scots.
The supply of sheep exhibited a falling off, compared
with Monday last. For all breeds, we had a steady de-
mand at fully last week's currency. The best old Downs
realised ss. per 81bs.
We were rather scantily supplied with calves, in which
a full average business was transacted, at from 2d. to 4d
per 81bs above the prices realised on this day se'ennight.
There was rather more doing in pigs. Prices were well
supported, with but moderate supplies on offer.
Fair average imports of foreign stock took place in the
port of London last week, namely, 8,791 head. In the
corresponding week in 1853 the imports amounted to
13,238 in 1852, 12,032 ; in 1851, 10,404 ; in 1850, 7,872 ;
in 1849, 5,716 ; in 1818, 4,360; in 1847, G,460 head.
