MARKET

I 2 DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the leading country markets held on Saturday
were fairly supplied with wheat, the demand for which
ruled inactive, and prices were with difficulty supported.
Fine barley, malt, and oats were in request, at extreme
rates. Most other articles sold slowly, on former terms.

The continental markets have been firm for all articles of
grain, the prices of which have had an upward tendency.
From New York we learn that bath wheat and flour were
firm, and ratlaer dearer.

Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain
were very moderate. From abroad we received 2,880
quarters of wheat, 3,289 oats, 1,019 beans, 1,976 peas, 150
tares, 10,903 linseed, 332 rapeseed, 112 mustard seed, 98
sundry seeds, 3,357 sacks and 80 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of wheat
from Kent were moderate, from Essex and Suffolk exten-
sive. By land carriage several rather large samples came
to hand, and the total supply on offer was decidedly ex-
tensive. The increase in the arrivals, the publication of
the French decree forbidding distillation from grain, and
the total cessation of any foreign demand, caused the
sale for all kinds of wheat of home produce to rule heavy,
at a,decline in the prices obtained on Monday last of from
2s. to 3s. per quarter. For forward delivery next to
nothing was doing.
Notwithstanding that the show of foreign wheat was
but moderate, and that the imports continue small, the
business doing in that grain was comparatively limited, at
from ls. to 2s. per quarter beneath the rates current on
this day se'nnight.
There were scarcely any floating cargoes offering.
We were well supplied with English barley, but the
show of foreign was limited. All kinds moved off heavily,
at a fall in the quotations of 2s. per quarter, and a clear-
ance was not effected.

We had only a moderate inquiry for malt, yet late rates
were well supported.
The supply of oats was but moderate. On the whole
the trade was steady, at full prices.
Beans and peas were rather dull, but we have no actual
change to notice in their value.

_ .
There was less doing in flour, yet prices were tolerably
firm.

SMITHFIELD.

There was a large show of foreign beasts in to-day's
market; but the supply of sheep and calves was only
moderate.
The arrivals of beasts fresh up from own grazing dis-
tricts were slightly on the increase, but their general
quality was very inferior ; indeed, we may observe that
there were not 500 really good beasts in the supply. As
the attendance of both town and country butchers was ex-
tensive; the beef trade ruled steady, at prices quite equal
to those obtained on Monday last. The top figure for
Scots was ss. per Blbs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 2,800 short horns ; from other parts of
England, 350 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 17
horned and polled Scots.
The supply of sheep was tolerably good as to number,
but deficient in quality. For all breeds we had a steady,
but by no means brisk, demand, and last Monday's cur-
rency was well supported. The primest old Downs realised
4s. 10d. per 81bs.
Calves—The supply of which was but moderate, were
in fair request, at last week's quotations. The highest
figure for veal was 4s. Bd. per 81bs.
We were fairly supplied with pigs, which sold steadily,
at late rates.
The arrivals of stook from Ireland last week were 69
beasts.
Last week's import of foreign stock into London was
7,182 head. In the corresponding week in 1853 we received
8,339; in 1852, 8,577; in 1851, 9,147; in 1850, 8,666;
in 1849, 3,972 ; in 1848, 6,795 ; and in 1847, 5,979 head.
