MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN- EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
Notwithstanding that the weather has been showery
during the last two or three days, very great progress
has been made in the cutting and carrying of Wheat.
The produce of the crops is represented as large. The
country markets, held on Saturday, were in a depressed
state for all kinds of grain, which were again lower to
purchase. Our letters from the near continental ports
state that most articles are falling in value. As yet we
have received no supplies from the Baltic; but large
quantities of Wheat are now close at hand from Dant-
zig. The arrivals of English Wheat for our market last
week were good—those ot other articles of home produce
small. The foreign imports amounted to 11,922 quarters
of Wheat; 4,233 ditto of Barley; 24,282 ditto of Oats;
81 ditto of Beans; 349 ditto of Peas; 8 ditto of Tares;
55 ditto of Rapeseed; 27 ditto of Mustard Seed; 66
ditto of sundry Seeds; and 1,864 sacks of Flour, from
France, made from the present year's crop of Wheat.
Fresh up for this morning's market by land carriage, the
arrivals of new Wheat of home produce were seasonably
good, but its general quality was by no means so fine as
was that exhibited on Monday last. Coastwise, the re-
ceipts were but moderate, especially from Essex. The
show of samples, nearly the whole of which were new,
was considerably in excess of the immediate wants of
the millers, and the demand for all kinds of English
Wheat was in a very depressed state, at a further decline
in the quotations of from is to 2s per quarter. At the
close ot the market quite one. fourth of the supply re-
mained undisposed ot. With foreign Wheat wetwere
tolerably well, but not to say largely supplied. A few
selected parcels were in some instances disposed of
at about stationary prices, but all other kinds
ruled heavy, at Is to 2s per quarter beneath
last week's currencies. The prospect of early and large
arrivals from the Baltic tended to depress the market.
Some of the importers were compelled to land, and
floating cargoes were entirely neglected. Offers for the
delivery of Wheat continue to arrive from most of our
agricultural districts. The few samples of new English
Barley on offer sold steadily, at full prices. With Fo-
reign Barley we were fairly supplied, while the demand
for that article was heavy, and interior grinding parcels
were somewhat lower to purchase. Although the quan-
tity of Malt on offer was comparatively small, the trade
ruled exceedingly flat; so much so, indeed, that it was
difficult to ascertain the exact value of the various qualities.
The quantity of home-grown Oats on sale was trifling;
that of foreign somewhat extensive. Fine fresh corn
sold at full prices. In the damp and otherwise out-of-
condition parcels, very little business was transacted, at
barely late rates. We have no change to notice in the
value of Beans, the transactions in which were trifling.
All kinds of Peas moved off slowly at last week's quota-
tions. Flour was lower to purchase by from Is. to 2s.
per sack, and Is. per barrel. In Indian Corn and Meal,
nothing doing. 4

SEED MARKET. _ _

A considerable fall has taken place in the value of
new Canary Seed since our last report. To-day that
article was offering at 90s to 1003 per quarter, without
finding buyers. New white and brown Mustard Seed is
lower to purchase. Tares and Rapeseed have a down-
ward tendency. In cakes scarcely any business is doing.
The stork of Clover seed in bond is about 40,000 cwts.

sairrurxEx.D.
The imports of foreign stock into the metropolis last
week were seasonably good, and of full average quality.
The low prices alone prevent a very large increase in the
supplies from abroad, where, we learn, they are very
extensive.
