MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The country markets held on Saturday were but r,
derately supplied with wheat, in which rather
a, lied'
business was transacted, at but little alteration in
Fine malting barley was scarce, and quite w dear. Gill
ing and distilling sorts commanded very little attenfi'
The sale for malt was in a sluggish state ; but oats mel
off steadily, at extreme quotations. Beans, peas, and dc
were very dull.
Throughout the Continent all descriptions of prod'
have ruled very inactive. In prices, however, no mate
change has taken place. The latest advices from isr
York state that both flour and grain were a dull inqut
owing chiefly to the high freights.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of Elle
grain were very moderate. From abroad, we receil
17,273 quarters of wheat, 8,275 barley, 4,322 oats,l
beans) 122 peas, 1,035 tares, 2,529 linseed, 2,131 rapes°

Fresh up to-day, the arrivals of wheat, from Kent, 10,
moderate—from Essex, and the east coast, limited. '
land carriage, the receipts were by no means extenail
and the total show of samples of both red and white I
comparatively limited ; nevertheless, owing to the hrl
imports of foreign wheat 'from the eastward, and the IN
tinuous heavy arrivals of flour from France, Spain,.sl
the United States, the demand for all descriptions was
a very inactive state, at, in most instances, a decline
the quotations obtained on Monday last of ls per quaf*
and a total clearance was not effected.
The demand for home-grown wheats for forward delivs
was heavy ' - indeed,, scarcely a transaction was reported
any description.
The quantity of foreign wheat on offer, fresh as well
ox. granary, was extensive. As many of the millers $
peared to be tolerably well in stock, the sale for all descrii
tions was dull in the extreme, at from is to, in some
stances, 2s per quarter beneath the currencies of Mondl
last.

The arrival of floating cargoes off the coast has soo
what increased of late ; hence, the sale for them was In
depressed state, although holders were sellers on lob
terms.

Notwithstanding that the supply of barley, was on
increase, the inquiry for that article ruled steady, and 0,
week's prices were well supported. Malting samples A,
rather scarce.
Malt—the supply of which was tolerably good—raol,
off slowly, but no decline was submitted to in the qilor
tion s.
We were fairly supplied with oats ; yet the demand
tolerably steady at late rates.
All kinds of beans sold slowly on former terms.
In peas, very few transactions took place, at late
r en cies.

The flour trade was very dull, and to effect sales, P"
porters were compelled to submit to lower terms.

On the whole, the show of foreign stock in to-day's
ket was tolerably good, and in fair average condition. p
Compared with Monday last, the supply of honliip
beasts on offer, this morning, exhibited a .decided fa
off in number, but not in quality. The attendAnc-,i,
buyers being good, and the weather more favourablety
slaughtering, all kinds moved off somewhat briskly,
advance in the quotations of quite 2d per 81bs, and A
clearance
,;was effected. A few very superior Scots rev
4s 4d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire'
received 1,600 Scots and short horns ; from other pa
England 800 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c ; and
Scotland, 450 horned and *
polled Scots.
We have to report a decline in the arrivals of sheep ,d
most quarters, hence, the mutton trade was active,4l
prices were 2d per 81bs above those obtained on this
:001
se'nnight. A few very superior old Downs in the 7p
produced 5s 4d, but the general top quotation was 510
per 81bs. Those out of the wool realised 4s 2d Per
without difficulty.
