MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

Up to our market last week, coastwise, the arrivals of
English Wheat, Barley, Beans, Peas, and Flour were
again limited. In those of Malt and Oats a slight in.
crease was reported. By land carriage rather a large
quantity of English Flour came to hand; but that of
Grain was very small, if we except the supply of Malt.
From Ireland and Scotland very little Grain reached us.
The imports of Foreign Wheat and Flour were season-
ably large, viz., 21,866 quarters of the former (chiefly
from the Black Sea and the near Continental ports), and
3,035 sacks of the latter, wholly from France. The
other foreign arrivals comprised 5,160 quarters of Barley,
.2,.317 ditto of Oats, 1,825 ditto of Rye, 195 ditto of
Beans, 1,198 ditto of Peas, 170 ditto of Tares, 2,182
ditto of Linseed, 35 ditto of Mustard Seed, and 144
ditto of sundry Seeds. No Indian Corn came to hand
from any quarter. Since these returns were made up,
aaveral cargoes of Wheat, Barley, Oats, and Flour
have been reported at the Custom-house, and
,which have been mostly entered free of duty.
The quantity of Wheat received fresh up to this morn-
4"g s market from Essex, Kent, Suffolk, &c., was very
"lan, coastwise as well as by land carriage and sample.
The stands were again scantily filled with parcels of
both red and white; still, however, owing to the con-
tinued arrivals from abroad, the demand for all descrip-
tiuna was in a very sluggish state. The finest samples
of white were mostly held at prices about equal to those
of Monday last ; but the middling and inferior kinds
(which formed the bulk of the supply) sold with diffi-
culty. at, a decline in the quotations of fully Is. per
patter, at which the market closed heavily. With
foreign Wheat we were again largely supplied, especially
With Russian qualities. The millers operated with ex-
treme caution, and where sales took place, the quota-
tions ruled Is. to, in some instances, 2s. per quarter
beneath those of this day se'nnig ht. Floating cargoes
Were offered freely, at Is. to 2s. per quarter less
money, at which buyers could not be found.
The quantity of Barley on offer, though less than for
some time past was more than equal to the wants of
the
dealers. Fine malting parcels moved off slowly at
mostly full prices. Grindin and distilling sorts com-
manded
very
little attention, gat barely late rates. The
arrivals
of
Malt
having been good, that article was very
difficult of sale. All kinds ruled heavy, but we have no
actual decline to notice in value. Large parcels might
have been had at Is. per quarter less money. From all
quarters the supply of Oats has been small since our last
!.epert. Really sound Corn was in moderate request, at
last week's quotations. The damp and otherwise out-
5-condition sorts had, in some instances, a
downward tendency. Large supplies are expected
,t) arrive from the continent during the ensuing month.
The show of Beans was not large; nevertheless the de-
mand for that article was heavy, at barely last week's
prices. The best boiling Peas were quite as dear. In
all other kinds very little business was transacted. In
Indian Corn and Meal we heard of no sales. The quan-
tity here is small. The top price of the best town-made
Flour remained unaltered. Inferior qualities of English
and all kinds of foreign were dull in the extreme. The
highest figure for the best brands of American was 27s
Per barrel.

SMITITTIELD.
• AS We anticipated in our report of Monday last, in-
creased supplies of foreign stock have arrived in the port
of London since that day. The total imports have
amounted to 2,021 head—the details of which we give
below--.against 1,408 head in the preceding week, and
1,064 at the corresponding period in 1848. That the
foreign arrivals will continue to increase we have no
doubt whatever, as we have the best authority for stating
that immense numbers of Beasts, Sheep, and Calves are
ready in Holland for shipment to this country as the
epring advances. The fact of the supplies of Beasts in
Norfolk, Suffolk, &c., from which quarters Smithfield
Will be principally supplied during the next four months,
being considerably in excess of many former seasons,
renders it very doubtful whether the price of Beef will
rise above its present extremely low value for some time.
The large arrivals of country-killed Meat up to New-
gate and Leadenhall Markets, and which are frequently
sold at a great sacrifice, have greatly interfered with the
trade here.
