CORN EXCHANGE.

The lea 'ing country markets hell on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat, in which only a limited
business was doing, at a decline of from 2s. to 3s. per quar-
ter. Barley sold heavily, at ls. to 2s. decline. All other
grain was dull and cheaper. Flour gave way quite 2s. per
sack.

The whole of the continental markets have been dull
and drooping. The last advices from New York state
that holders of flour was tolerably firm in their demands.
The receipts of English grain up to our market, last
week, were very moderate From abroad, we received
38,688 quarters of wheat, 3,230 barley, 15,728 oats, 4,638
beans, 12 peas, 886 tares, 1,748 linseed, 85 rapeseed, 148
sundry seeds, 12,536 sacks, and 23,370 barrels of flour.
The supply of English wheat received fresh up from our
market to-day, coastwise, was very moderate, but in fair
average condition. By land carriage the supply was small,
hence the Bent and Essex stands were by no means largely
supplied ; nevertheless, the demand for all descriptions,
owing to the immense imports of foreign grain and flour,
and the dull accounts from the outports, was in a depressed
state, at a decline in the prices of Monday last of fully 2s
per quarter, said a clearance was not effected. For for-
ward delivery, next to nothing doing.
We were very heavily supplied with foreign wheat,
fresh as well as ex-granary. For all kinds the sale ruled
heavy, an,l scarcely any business resulted, although im-
porters offered freely at 2s to 3s per quarter under the
rates of this day se'nnight . _

Flolting cargoes were almost wholly neglected. Nu-
merous vessels arrived off Falmouth have been ordered
round to London.

We had a dull sale for all descriptions of barley, the
value of which had a downward tendency.
There were very few inquiries for malt, the value of
which was with difficulty supported.
The oat trade ruled dull. In prices, however, very little
chquge took place.
Beans moved off slowly, at barely late figures.
In peas, very little w e doing oa former terms.
The flour trade was dull, at 2s per sack and barrel less
money.

To-day's market was very moderately supplied with
foreign stock, amongst which were 90 oxen from Spain.
From our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning were limited, and iu very middling
condition. The attendan:m of buyers being large, the beef
trade ruled active, at an advance in the quotations ob-
tai, e.l on Monday last of 4d per 81bs, and a good clearance
was effected.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire amounted to 1,900 Scots and short-horns ; from
other parts of England, 700 of various breeds; and from
Scotland 240 horned and polled Scots.
There was a falling off in the supply of sheep. All
breeds t.tommanded a steady, though not very brisk, de-
mand, at 2d per Bibs more money. The best old Downs,
in the wool, realised 5s per 81bs ; out of the wool, 4.8 4d
per Blbs.
The four lambs in the market realised from 6s to 6s 8d
per Sibs.
We were very scantily supplied with calves, which
moved off steadily, at full quotations.
Pigs were dull at late figures. The supply was small.
