MARKET IVEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The. supplies of wheat on offer in most of the country
markets held on Saturday were moderate. For all de-
scriptions the demand was in a sluggish state, at about
stationary prices. There was very little business doing in
barley, on former terms. Malt, oats, beans, and peas sold
slowly, at previous rates.
The business doing ru grain in the near Continental
markets on English account is represented as compara-
tively small. Prices, however, continue to be well sup-
ported. Our accounts from New York to the 31st
state that flour was rather dearer, with a good inquiry.
Up to our market last week, very limited supplies of Eng-
lish wheat came to hand. From abroad vie received
27,813 quarters of wheat, 6,014 barley, 38,045 oats, 3
beans, 218 peas, 73 tares, 2,983 linseed; 1,855 sacks and
100 barrels Of flour.
Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English
wheat coastwise were on a very limited scale. By las d
carriage the receipts were trifling-; consequently, the show
of samples of both red and white was small. Notwith-
standing that, the attP,ndance of both town and country
millers was by no means extensive, the demand for all
kinds of wheat, of home produce,
ruled steady, at fully
last Monday's IN:lces, and at which a good clearance was
effected. Tie general condition of the wheats was
tolerably piiuse.
We 'were rather liberally supplied with most descriptions
of v:neat from abroad, especially from the lower Baltic
ports. On the whole, these was an improved feeling in
the trade, and the currencies were well supported in every
instance. Very few floating cargoes have made their ap-
pearance off the coast. Their value must be considered
almost nominal.
The show of English barley was very limited—of foreign
good. Most kinds sold slowly, but we have no change to
notice in prices.
There was very little inquiry for malt, but full kinds
were held at full juices.
The supplies of oats were somewhat extensive.. The
business doing was by no means extensive, on former
terms.
We had a dull sale for beans, at late rates.

Peas moved off heavily, on former terms.
The flour trade was tolerably firm, and American parcels
were the tura dearer.

There was rather an increased number of foreign sheep
and calves in to-day's market ; but the show of beasts w•is
very moderate. The demand ruled heavy, and prices had
a downward tendency.
From our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning were on the increase, and of full
average weight and quality. The attendanceof both town
and country buyers being smaller than for some weeks
past, the demand for all kinds of beasts ruled inactive, at
a decline in the prices obtained on Monday last of 2d per
81bs. The best Scots realised, 49 10d per Sibs.
The receipts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire amounted to 2,200 Scots and short-horns ; from
other parts of England, 600 of various breeds; and from
Scotland, 420 horned and polled Scots.
We were seasonably well supplied with sheep, which, for
the most part, came to hand in good condition. There
was less activity iu the demand for that description of
stock, and last Monday's quotations were barely sup-
ported.
The supply of lambs was tolerably extensive ; yet the
lamb trade was firm, and in some instances prices had an
upward tendency. A few very superior Down lambs sold
at 5s 2d per Sibs.
Calves, the supply of which was rather extensive, moved
off heavily, at a decline in prices of 2d per Sibs. The
general top figure was 5s 2d.
The demand for pigs ruled heavy, on former terms.
