CORN-EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
Extremely small supplies of all kinds of English
Grain, as well as Flour, were received up to our market
last week, coastwise and by land carriage. From Ire-
land and Scotland the arrivals were unusually limited,
they being chit fly confined to a few quarters of Oats.
The foreign imports were again seasonably extensive—
viz , 18,774 quarters of Wheat, 1,352 ditto of Barley,
8,725 ditto of Oats, 490 ditto of Rye, 7lt ditto of Peas,
9V ditto of Rapeseed, 216 ditto of sundry Seeds, 8,801
sacks and 912 barrels of Flour. As the Danish ques-
tion is still unsettled, a falling off in the receipts of
Grain is expected from the Baltic; but those from the
near Continental ports will, doubtless, continue good.
Offers still continue to arrive from France and Belgium
to ship Wheat and Flour at very low prices. The ac-
counts received up this morning from our own agricultural
districts state that the crops are progressing rapidly.
The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up for this
morning's market, from Essex, was somewhat on the in-
crease; but that from Kent, Cambridgeshire, &c., was
very small, though of fair average quality. Notwith-
standing that the show of samples of both red and white
was trifling for tho time of year, the demand fur all
kinds of Wheat of home produce was in a very inactive
state. Selected parcels were, in some instances, disposed
of at about stationary prices; but those of the middling
and inferior Forts declined is. per quarter, and a clear.
wee was with difficulty effected. The above fall is to be
chiefly attributed to the prevailing fine weather for
the growing Wheats, and the heavy pressure of
foreign Flour on the market, with every pros-
pect of large future imports from France. Since
the returns were made up last week several car-
goes of foreign Wheat have been reported. The supply
of that grain on offer to-day was tolerably extensive. As
the millers and others operated with considerable caution,
the sale for foreign Wheat was heavy, and where sales
were forced, the quotations gave way ls per quarter.
This observation applies more particularly to the mid-
dling descriptions. Scarcely any English Barley was on
slew, and the supply of foreign was limited, We had

a steady, though by no means brisk, inquiry for that
grain, and last week's prices were fairly stir
pimed. Very little Malt was brought forward,
yet the supply was quite equal to the demand,
which ruh•d inactive at about stationary prices.
The best Oats were mostly held for a trifling advance.
In other kinds, very little business was transacted, at
late rates. Beans, the supply of which was small, sold
at is. per quarter more money. In Peas, there was
more doing, and the quotations had an upward tendency.
Indian Corn and Meal were held at Hull prices; the
amount of busiiirss doing in those artcles was, how-
ever, limited. Flour was in moderato demand at
unaltered curreccie-73.

The total imports of foreign stock into London last
week were somewhat on the decrease, they amounting t°
only 1,363 head—the result, doubtless, of the low price°
obtained in this market for some time past. At the cot"
responding period in 1848 we received 2,503, and at the
same time in 1847, 1,939 head. No other stock has come !°
hand from Germany, owing to the difficulties of transit,
'he steamers only being allowed to carry cargo.

At Cie outports the arrivals have fallen off consider
ably, but we learn that large supplies are ready for star
went in Holland. The supply from Ireland by sea aims
Monday last has amounted to 30 Oxen and 200 Sheep Iti
fair average condition. Another arrival of Preserved
Meat, 28 cases, has taken place from Sydney. Fresh up
for our market this morning the arrivals of Beasts were
seasonably good, and, for the most part, of excellent
quality. Notwithstanding that the attendance of btlYe,r/1
was somewhat extensive, the Beef trade, owing to 0f,,:
unfavolirable state of the weather for slaughtering, vir„
in a very sluggish state, at barely Friday's decline I"
the quorations. The primest Scots were selling at frort
3s 6d to 3s 8d per Blbs, the latter being an extreco"
figure. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeti
shire we received about 1,600 Scots, home-breds, au
short horns; from the western and midland distriegl
700 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c., from other parts 01;
England, 500 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 9°l
horned and polled Scots. The remainder of the supply
a
was derived from abroad and the neighbourhood of
metropolis. The numbers of Sheep were cousidereb,u
on the increase, hence all breeds were very dull in sale'
and prices ruled quite 4d per Blbs beneath those realise
on this day se'nuight. The primest old Downs sold at
3s 10d per 81bs. Lambs, the supply of which was go:
sold heavily, and the quotations were 2d per 81bs lower
Prices ruled from 4s 8d to 6s per Blbs. The supplY a
Sheep arid Limbs from the Isle of Wight compri'o,l
444 head. In Calves very little business was transaete";
and late currencies were not supported. The Pork fro",
was heavy, and last week's prices were barely 1101111
tained.
