MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE.—MONDAY.
Notwithstanding the prevailing showery weather, our
accounts from the forward districts state that consider-
able progress had been made in the cutting of Wheat
and Barley in the past week. In the north, the crops
are progressing favourably. Tee navigation of the
Baltic, Elbe, and Weser, being now open, large arrivals
of grain may be expected from these quarters by the
close of the present month. From the leading country
markets, held on Saturday, we learn that the Corn
trade ruled heavy, at further depressed rats. Up to
our market, last week, the receipts of all grain of home
produce was very small. The Foreign imports amounted
to 7,749 quarters of Wheat, 4 799 ditto of Barley,
19,569 ditto of Oats, 250 ditto of Rye, 133 ditto of Beans,
390 ditto of Peas, 7,950 ditto of Linseed, 12 ditto of
Mustard Si.ed, 500 ditto of Indian Corn, 74 ditto of
sunory seeds; 1,059 sacks and 6 barrels of Flour.
Fresh up for this morning's market, there were received
about 100 quarters of new English Wheat, about a
moiety being from Essex, the remainder from Kent.
The parcels, mostly Telavera, were not in first rate
condition, from their having been prematurely cut, yet
they were disposed of at from 50s to 51s per quarter.
The weight of the samples varied from 51 to 511 lbs per
bushel. With old Wheat, of home produce, we were
very scantily supplit d; yet the quantity on offer was fully
adequate to the demand. Owing to the flying showers,
the I.,ctors were somewhat firmer than on this day
se'nnight, and a fair clearance of the stands was
effected at last week's decline in the quota
Lions. The market, however, closed somewhat heavily.

tiom.:ry Cargoes afloat were much neglected.
We had a F. no We or two of new English Oarley on the

Barley we v+ ere but moderately supplied. Most kinds
sold slowly, at about last Monday's
.quotatiOns. Although'
the supply of Malt was by no means large, the de-
mand tor that article was soinewliat heavy. In
prices, however, we have no change to notice.
the supply of home-grown Oats. was trifling, that of.
foreign moderately good. A fair. average amount of
business was passing in most kinds,' at fully previous'
rates. In Beans scarcely any business was transacted,
at about stationary prices. New Peas -were 2s per
quarter lower than on Monday last. In 'old qualities
next to nothing doing. Indian Corn and Meal very'
dull. The Flour trade was dull, but we have no further
decline to notice in value. •

The total importation of foreign stock into London
last week amounted to 5,248 head. During the same
periud in 1847 the arrivals consisted of 7,564; and at
the same limo in 1848, 4,400 head. Hence it will be
perceived 'that the above addition to our supplies hall
been a fair average one.

About 1,200 head of stock have been landed at the
different out ports, mostly from Rotterdam. The arrivals
from Ireland, by sea direct, for this market last week,
amounted to 31 oxen and 278 sheep. For the time of
year the receipts of beasts from our various grazing
districts, fresh up this morning, were but moderate and
of middling quality. As the attendance of both town
and country buyers was good and the dead markets were
well cleared of their late supplies, the Beet' trade ruled
steady, at prices quite equal to those obtained on Mon-
day last. A few very superior Scots sold at 4s, but 33
10d was the top general figure for beef. From Lincoln-
shire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, we received
about 900 short horns; from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex,
and Cambridgeshire, 800 Scots, home breds and
short horns; from the western and midland counties
400 Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c.; from other
parts of England, 350 of various brees; and from
Scotland, 200 horned and polled Scots. There was
a considerable increase in the number of Sheep
compared with those exhibited on this day se'n-
night. Fur all breeds the demand ruled steady, but not
to say brisk, at full rates of currency. The finest old
Downs sold at from 3s 10d to 4s per Blbs. We were
again well supplied with Lambs, in but middling condi-
uon. Prime Down qualities sold steadily; other kinds
of lamb slowly, at last week's prices. Calves, the sup-
ply of which was good, moved off heavily at unaltered
quotations. In Pigs scarcely any business was, doing.
Prices, however, were mostly supported:

LIEWG.LITE AND LEAD nNIT.A.I.D. ,
These markets have been moderately supplied with
each kind of Meat since our report on Monday last;
nevertheless the general demand—owing to the pre-
vailing warm weather—hits been in a very depressed
state, and prices have had a downward tendency. Very
few carcases of foreign Meat have appeared on sale.

nonouGH AND SPITA.LFIELDS.
Owing, it is presumed, to the presence of cholera in
this country, these markets have•undergone a consider-
able change, since our last report. The imports, from
abroad, have been confined to 72 bags from Rotterdam;
44 tons from Ghent; 60 baskets from Antwerp; and
207 ditto from Ostend; but the supplies of home-grovqn
on offer have considerably exceeded the demand. Foreign
Potatoes have moved off heavily, at from 21. 105 to 31 lasi
and English ditto, 31 lOs to 5s 5s per ton.
BOIELOUGIL 1101. P/XARECET.
We have still to report a steady demand for fine MO
at full prices. In all other kinds exceedingly little
business is doing. The market is but moderately 'Sur
plied with samples, and the duty is called 70,000/. Sussex
pockets, 31 10s to 41 10s; Weald of Kent ditto, 31 12e
to 41 10s; Mid and East Kent ditto, 418 s to 717 s per cwt.

WOOL.
Since Monday last the Private Contract Market hag
been well supplied with both English and Colonial Wools,
yet the demand for all descriptions has ruled firm, e 6
very full prices. The stock of the latter in warehouse's
about 12,000 bales. The imports • have amounted to
1,500 bales from Port Philip, 385 ditto from Hamburgb.
10 ditto from Ostend, and 321 ditto from Adelaide.
