MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
Letters received in town this merning state that the
various markets held in the provinces, on Saturday,
were heavy for all kinds of Wheat, at drooping prices.
The cutting of Wheat and Barley has been pretty gene-
rally commenced is most of our forward districts, under
favourable auspices. Advices from New York are to
the c ffcct that a good business was doing in Grain and
Flour on English account, at very full prices. Tha
Continental markets have ruled firm, notwithstanding
that the blockade of the Baltic is expected to be taken
off on the 10th inst. The arrivals of English Grai❑
for our market last week, coastwise, was very small,
but the imports from abroad were liberal, viz.-16,040
quarters of Wheat, 11,024 ditto of Barley, 45,152 ditto
of Oats, 2,611 ditto of Rye, 599 ditto of Beans. 1,458
ditto of Peas, 1,172 ditto of Tares, 8,415 ditto of
Linseed, 5 ditto of Rapeseed, 1,011 ditto of sundry
seeds, 2,988 sacks and 650 barrels of Flour,
The favourable accounts received from most parts of the
country respecting the appearance of the growing crops,
the prevailing fine weather for harvest work, and the
continued arrivals from abroad, had considerable influ-
ence upon the trade here today. The fresh supply of
English Wheat on show was limited. Still, however,
the demand for all descriptions was in a very depressed
state, at a decline in the quotations of Monday last of
FvUR smamercs per quarter. At that amount of depres-
sion the millers purchased with extreme caution, and a
total clearance of the stands was not effected.
No new Wheat was offering, but samples are ex-
pected this week. The quantity of foreign Wheat
was somewhat extensive. For all kinds the demand
was unusually heavy, at 2s to 3s per quarter
beneath last week's currencies. Floating cargoes were
wholly neglected. Since the returns were made up on
Saturday, rather a large fleet of grain vessels bas arrived
from various quarters. No English Barley was on the
market ; but the supply of Foreign was good. The sale
for grinding samples was not so active as on Monday
last ; nevertheless, that day's prices were mostly sup-
ported. In making and distilling sorts, next to nothing
doing, at barely late rates. The market was somewhat
heavily supplied with malt. Where sales took place,
prices ruled a shade lower than last advised. With
home grown Oats we were very scantily sup-
plied ; but the show of Foreign samples
was very large. For all kinds, the demand
was very heavy, and the out. of condition sorts were a
shade lower. We had a few new grey Peas on sale.
They were taken at 31s to 33s per quarter. In old
samples next to nothing doing. All kinds of Beans
moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices. Indian
corn and meal were offering on lower terms. Sack Flour
might have been purchased at a reduction of 2s per
2801bs. Barrel qualities were quite Is cheaper.

Notwithstanding that there has been a considerable
increase in the arrivals of foreign stock into London
during the past week, they have been on a very mode-
rate scale, the time of year considered, the total importa-
tion having amounted to 5,988 head, against 7,415 at
the corresponding period in 1847, and 6,703 head at the
same time in 1848.

The imports of foreign stock into Hull,' &c., have
amounted to about 900 head, chiefly Beasts and Calves,
from Rotterdam. At Southampton, 10 Oxen have come
to hand from Spain. The arrivals of stock direct from
Ireland by sea for this market have been confined to 20
Oxen. From our various grazing districts the Bullock
supplies fresh up this morning were somewhat less than
those received on this day se'nnight, yet they proved
seasonably extensive, and of full average quality. As
the dead markets were scantily supplied, and the attend-
ance of buyers on the increase, the Beef trade was
steady, and in some instances the quotations ruled 2d
per Blbs higher than on Friday—a fair clearance being
effected at prices fully equal to those obtained on Mon-
day last. A few very superior Scots produced 4s, but
the general top figure for Beef was 3s 10d per 81bs.
The supply of Beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire, amounted to 700 Scots, Shorthorns and
Ilomebreds; from the northern counties, 1,000 Short-
horns; from the Western and Midland districts, 400
Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c.; from other parts of
England, 500 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 200
Horned and Pulled Scots. There was a slight falling off
in the number of Sheep on offer. All breeds commanded
a steady, though not to say brisk, inquiry, andprices
y
were about 2d per 81bs. higher than on Frida t
Prime Down Lambs moved off steadily, at full prices.as*
Otherwise. the Lamb trade was iu a very' sluggishbtate
at last week's currencies. Calves, the supply
of w'hich.
was good, met a slow trade, at last Week's decline in the
quotations. In Pigs next to nothing was doing, at late
rates.
