MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

~CORN-EXCHANGE.—(MONDAY.)
Very favourable accounts have again reached us re-
specting the general appearance of the growing crops.
The foreign letters into-day, state that prices are rather
firmer on the Continent, with a good business doing on
English account. The arrivals of all articles of home
growth up to our market, last week, coastwise as well as
by land carriage and sample, were on a very limited
scale. From Scotland the receipts comprised a few
quarters of Oats, and from Ireland only 60 quarters of
Malt. The foreign imports were goad, viz., 11,262
quarters of Wheat; 9,711 ditto of Barley ; 32,817
ditto of Oats; 138 ditto of Rye; 680 ditto of Beans;
2,337 ditto of Peas ; 249 ditto of Tares; 22
ditto of Rapeseed; 172 ditto of Hempseed; and 8,635
sacks of Flour, the latter wholly from France and Belgium.
Fresh up this morning, a very limited quantity of Wheat
came to hand from Essex. From Kent, Cambridgeshire,
&c., the arrivals of that grain were trifling in the ex-
treme. The show of samples of both red and white being
very small, and the attendance of buyers from the coun-
try tolerably good, the demand for rn, st kinds of Eng-
lish Wheat was steady, but by no means brisk, at prices
equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight, and at
which a clearance was effected prior to the conclusion of
business. The quantity of Foreign Wheat on offer was
not to say large. Selected parcels were tolerably steady
at late rates. The middling and inferior kinds
moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices,
although most of the millers were short of stock.
In floating cargoes very few transactions took place.
Scarcely any English Barley was on offer. The supply
of Foreign was a full average one. Grinding qualities
sold to some extent, for shipment westward and inland
consumption, at full prices. Malting and distilling sorts
were a dull inquiry. Very little Malt was on sale, yet
it proved quite equal to the demand, which ruled heavy;
and last week's prices were with difficulty supported.
The show of home-grown Oats was quite unimportant;
that of Foreign very large. All kinds of Oats met a
dull inquiry, and, in some instances, the quota-
tions were the turn in favour of the buyers.
The demand for Beans was in a very inactive state. In
prices, however, we have no change to notice. The sale
for Peas was in a very sluggish state at last week's quo-
tations. The few samples of Indian Corn on offer were
mostly taken at very full prices. In Indian Meal scarcely
any business was transacted. The Flour trade was in a
very inactive state, at unaltered currencies.

SEED MARKET.
Canary Seed is held for further advanced rates, at
which very few sales have taken place. New Rapeseed
is again dearer. In other Seeds very little business is
doing. Cakes are almost nominal.

Since this day se'nnight, the total imports of foreign
stock into London have amounted to 2,117 head. At
the corresponding period in 1848 we received 3,245 head,
and at the same in 1847, 3,336 head; hence, it will be
perceived that the arrivals still continue small for the
time of year.

At the ••
outports about 400' head of stock have been
landed in fair condition. Several casks of preserve(
meat have been imported from Buenos Ayres iu the past
iyeek, in very middling condition. There was a consi-
derable increase in the supply of beasts on sale in to-
?are market, compred with that exhibited on Monday
2". The quality of the stock was unusually prime.
IAI the whole the attendance of both town and country
buyers was good, while the demand for the best Scots
was
steady, at about last week's quotations. In all other
breeds of beasts comparatively little business was trans-
acted, at in some instances a decline in the prices of
Monday last of 2d per Bibs. From Norfolk, Suffolk,
Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 1,900 Scots,
Horuebreds, and Shorthorns ; from the Western and
Midland districts, 500 Herefords, Runts, Devons,
; from other parts of England, 600 of various
breeds; aud, from Scotland, 300 horned and polled
Soots. The supply of Sheep was seasonably good; yet
the demand for that description of stock was steady, at
fully last week's quotations. The primest old Downs
sold at from 3s 10d to 4s per 81bs. We had a somewhat
active trade for Lambs, at extreme, currencies. In some
instances, the best Down valities realised 6s 21b per
Blbs. From the Isle of Wight, we received 320 head.
Calves—the supply of which was extensive—moved off
slowly, at barely the late decline in prices. The Pork
trade was heavy, at barely late rates.

SinceEVZGAT AND LEADENNALL.
our, lakt reporr, these markets have "been almost
wholly supplied with London-slaughtered Meat, the pre-
eailing hot weather having rendered it unsafe to forward
upplies from a distance. Lamb has commanded a
steady sale, at somewhat improved currencies. In most
other kinds of Meat a steady business is passing, at full
P!rlees• About 600 carcases of foreign Meat have been
disposed of.

31OROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.
These markets are almost bare of home-grown Pota-
toes, but the supplies of foreign are ex4ensive for the
111.,°,,°f year. During last week the imports consisted
f)'" , i 5 tons, 9,598 bags, 8 baskets from Rotterdam; 632
ags from n-arlin 215 bags from Amsterdam; and
gen;
10 baskets from Lisbon; forming a total quantity of
1,124 . tons, The abundance of green Vegetables has
greatly interfered with the Potato trade, which rules ex-
cessively heavy at drooping prices.

BOILOUGEI NOP DIELEILEIC.
The most ridiculous repurts are in circulation re-
specting the appearance of the growing bine. Some
parties, evidently with a view of bolstering up the
market, have estimated the duty as low as 100,0001.
The more general figure is 125,000 L It is true that a
slight increase has taken place in the fly, owing to the
prevailing warm weather; but our impression is that
the bine was seldom looking better than at prestnt.
Very little business is doing, yet holders are firm, at
Improved quotations. Sussex pockets, 21 ss to 31;
Weald of Kent ditto, 21 12s to 31 10s; Mid and East
Kent ditto, 318 s to 71 per cwt.
WOOL.
The imports of Wool into London, last week, were
.!?tfitied to about 150 bales, chiefly from Hamblirgh.
zi"Lhe Supplies of Wool on offer in the private contract
:.rk.et are large. Still, however, a steady business is
%stung in most descriptions, at about stationary prices.
Yeral
'and, laden vessels are still on their passage from New Hol-
with wool.
