The leading country markets held on Saturday were ra-
ther scantily supplied with wheat, in which a steady busi-
ness was doing, and prices had an upward tendency. All
spring corn moved off slowly, on former terms. The flour
trade was steady.
The continental markets have been steady for most arti-
cles of grain. In the United States, both grain and flour
' has sold to, a fair extent, on former terms.
The receipts of English grain up to our market last week
was very moderate. From abroad the imports amounted
to 27,816 quarters of wheat, 6,307 barley, 50,245 oats, 1,226'
beans, 220 peas, 283 tares, 3,172 linseed, 68:3 rapeseed, 40
sundry seeds, 6,335 sacks, and 16,692 barrels of flour.
The quantity of wheat received fresh up to-day coastwise
from Essex and Kent was only moderate, but in fair ave-
rage condition. The receipts from other quarters were
small, those by land carriage trifling. There was a very
moderate show of samples of both red and white. On the
whole about an average business was transacted in most
kinds. In prices, however, we have scarcely any change
to notice. There was very little doing in home-grown
wheats for forward delivery.
The show of foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex-grsuary,
was good. The sale for good red Baltic parcels was steady,
at full quotations. All other kinds were steady, and the
quotations were supported.. Floating cargoes were rather
dull. Since Monday last, - upwards of 100 vessels have
been reported off Falmouth, chiefly laden with wheat.
New Galati has changed_ hands at 70s to 745, Salonica,
hard and soft, 555, Polish. Odessa 63s to 68s, Ibrail 68s,
hard Roumelia, 60s per quarter' all charges included.
The show of barley was mood, and about an average
business was doing in it, :a lateb rates.
We had a slow, sale for malt, on former terms.
Oats were in good supply and steady request, at an ad-
vance of from Gd to is per,
,quarter. • .
Both beans and peas were scarce, and in some instances
is per quarter dearer than on Monday last. ,
The flour trade was by :no means active, yet prices were
supported.

SMITHFIELD.

Last week's imports of foreign stock into London were

1,093 ; in 1849, 1,305 ; and in 1848, 1,877 head.

For the time of year we were very moderately supplied
with each kind of foreign stock, for which, however, the
demand was in a sluggish state.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up today were good, and in excellent condition.
The attendance of both town and' country buyers was
numerous ; nevertheless, the demand for all breeds of
beasts ruled inactive, at a elecline in the prices obtained on
Monday last of 2d per 81bs;. The primest Scots sold at
4s 4d per 81bs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
briddshire amounted to 2,753 Scots andshort-horns ; from
other parts of England, 700 of various breeds ; and from
Scotland, 340 horned and polled Scots.
We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with sheep, all breeds of which moved off freely, at prices
fully, equal to those of this day se'nnight.. The top. value
of the best old Downs in the wool ss—out of the, wool
4s 4d per 81bs.
Lambs, the number of which was moderately extensive,
commanded a steady inquiry at full quotations—viz.,-5s 6d
to 7s per 81bs.
We were but scantily supplied with calves, which sold
steadily, at full quotations.
In pigs very little business was transacted, and prices
were barely supported.
