MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
scantily supplied with wheat, in which a good business
was doing at an advance of from 2s. to, in some instances,
4s. per quarter. Scarcely any barley was on offer, whilst
malt was the turn higher. Oats, beans, and peas were
mostly held for more money. Flour was from 2s. to 3s.
per sack dearer.
The Continental markets have ruled active for wheat,
at higher currencies. Spring corn has commanded rather
more money. In the United there has been an im-
proved sale for both grain and flour, at full quotations.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last
week, was small. From abroad we received 12,984 quer
•
ters of wheat, 9,960 barley, 7,672 oats, 1,700 rye, 2,404
beans, 115 peas, 5,750 linseed, 3,400 rapeseed, 56 mustard
seed, 562 sundry seeds, and 2,213 barrels of flour.
The quantity of wheat received fresh up, to our market,
to-day, from Essex and Kent, was very moderate, whilst
the supply from the East coast was limited. Per railway,
the receipts were comparatively small. The show of sam-
ples of both red and white being rather scanty, and the
attendance of both English and foreign buyers extensive,
the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled
with, at an advance in the prices obtained on Monday
last, of from 3s to 4s per quarter. In some instances,
selected samples of white were 5s per quarter higher than
on that clay, and a clearance was,speedily effected.
Several large parcels changed hands for forward deli-
very, at arise of from 3s to 4s per quarter.
The show of granaried samples of foreign wheat was
limited, and very few parcels were offered from the fresh
arrivals. An extensive business was done, at from 3s to
4s per quarter above the currencies paid on this day
sen night.
Floating cargoes were on great request, and about 50,000
quarters changed hands, at a rise of from 4s to 5s per
quarter. Including the sales of last week, about 200,000
quarters of wheat have found buyers on French and Bel-
gian account.
No English barley at market ; but the supply of foreign
was on the increase. The demand ruled steady, and the
quotations were well supported.
Malt—the supply of which was very moderate, moved
off steadily at full quotations.
We were very scantily supplied with oats, for which the
inquiry was firm, and, in some instances, good heavy corn
was the turn higher.
The sale for beans was by no means active, yet the late
advance was supported. .
Peas moved off steadily, at full quotations.
The flour trade was brisk. The nominal top price of
town-made was 475., being a rise of 3s. from Monday last.
Ship qualities were 2s. per sack, and American fully is.
per barrel dearer.

To-day's market was well supplied with foreign stock,
amongst which were 30 oxen from Spain. The trade ruled
steady at very full prices.
From our own grazing districts there was a decided in-
crease in the arrival of beasts, the general quality of which
was good. Notwithstanding that the weather was unfa-
vourable for slaughtering, the beef trade—arising from
the large number of town and country buyers in attend-
ance—ruled steady, and last Monday's prices were fairly
supported. A few very superior cots realised 4s 8(1,
but the general top figure for beef was ls 6d per Blbs.
The bullock supply from Norfolk, Suffolk, Base', and
Cambridgeshire, amounted to 2,500 Scots and short borne;
from other parts of England, 600 Herefords, runts, Devons,
&c. ; and from Scotland, 230 horned and polled Scots.
The numbers of sheep were seasonably good, but their
general condition was by no means prime. On the whole,
the mutton trade was firm, and last week's quotations
were maintained. The top figure for the best Old Downs
was 4s 10d per 81bs.
Lambs—the supply of which was by no means extensive
—were in fair request, at full prices.
Prime small calves moved off steadily, at fully previous
rates. Inferior calves were dull, and 2d per Ms lower
than last week.

The sale for pigs was in a very inactive state, at late
currencies.
