MARKET NEWs.—(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-(MONDAY.)
The country markets held on Saturday were tolerably
steady for most kinds of fine Wheat, at full prices; but
the middling and inferior kinds were a slow inquiry.
The best grinding Barley, as well as most other kinds
of grain were mostly disposed of at fully previous rates.
The latest accounts from the Continent state that the

demand for all articles of grain for shipment to Eng.
land was limited. At Dantz,e, Wheat declined 3s per
quarter, although the supply of shipping was very
abundant. Up to our market, last week, the receipts of
all grain of home produce were small, but upwards of
14,000 quarters of Oats came to hand from Ireland. The
foreign importations were composed of 10,725 quarters
of Wheat, 2,886 ditto of Barley, 16,607 ditto of Oats,
101 ditto of Rye, 667 ditto of Beans, 380 ditto of Peas,
3,200 ditto of Linseed, 11 ditto of Rapeseed, 102 ditto of
Mustard Seed, 1,503 ditto of sundry seeds,
3,759 sacks and 158 barrels of Flour. The
quantity of Wheat received fresh up to our market this
morning coastwise from Essex and Kent was small; that
from Cambridgshire, Lincolnshire, &c., was trifling in the
extreme. By land carriage and sample the supply fell
off ; however, the show of samples of both red and
white was wholly inadequate to meet the wants of the
millers, whose attendance was tomewhat on the increase
Nearly all descriptions were in steady request; and, in
some instances, selected qualities of white commanded
is per quarter more money than on this day se'nnight.
A clearance of the middling and inferior kinds was
readily effected at very full prices. With foreign Wheat
we were tolerably well but not to say heavily
supplied. Fine parcels sold steadily at fully
last week's currencies. In all other kinds corn-
paratively little business was passing at late rates.
Several offers came to hand from Lincolnshire and
Cambridgeshire to ship wheats. In floating cargoes of
foreign exceedingly little was doing. We had a very
moderate supp►y of English Barley on show, while that
of foreign was smaller than for some time past. Grinding
qualities moved off freely at very full prices, but malting
and distilling sorts were neglected. In the quotations
we have no change to notice, ,although the supply of
both old and new Malt offering was very moderate, the
demand for that article, as the principal brewers are not
general buyers, was heavy, and late rates were with
difficulty supported. With Irish Oats we were some
what extensively supplied, but the show of Eng-
lish, Scotch, and Foreign was small. Fine parcels
were mostly disposed of at full prices. Damp and
weathered qualities ruled dull, and the quotations were
the turn in favour of the buyers. The sale for Beans,
especially old qualities, was steady, and late rates were
supported. Peas were in short supply, and fair request,
at lull prices. Indian Corn and Meal almost nominal.
The best parcels of Flour, both English and Foreign,
were firm. Otherwise the Flour trade was inactive.

SIKITHWIELD.
The total imports of Foreign Stock into London, since
this day se'nnight, have amounted to 4,412 head, being
an increase of 440 head compared with those of the pre-
ceding wsek. During the corresponding period in 1848
we received 4,085, and at the same time, in 1847, 4,950
head; hence it will be perceived that the importations
continue on a fair average scale. Letters from Holland
state that the supply of stock in that country, ready for
our markets, is still very large, but we do not anticipate
heavy arrivals, unless prices here should go up.
