MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE.-MONDAY.

Nearly the whole of the English markets held on
Saturday were firm for English Wheat, at an advance in
the quotations of quite Is per quarter. Foreign Wheat,
malting Barley, the best Oats, and Flour, were quite as
dear. All other articles were neglected. We have ad-
vices from New York to the 18th inst., a steady busi-
ness was doing in Grain and Flour, chiefly for city use,
at full prices. The Erie Canal had become frozen. In
the near continental market, very few transactions have
lately taken place in any article. Up to our market
last week the arrivals of all Grain coastwise, as well as
from Ireland and Scotland, were small. From abroad,
we received 11,565 quarters of Wheat, 11,787 ditto of
Barley, 12,465 ditto of Oats, 385 ditto of Beans, 2,469
ditto of Peas, 168 ditto of Tares, 1,926 ditto of Linseed,
552 ditto R gpeseed, 37 ditto of sundry seeds, and 4,351 sacks
of Flour. The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up
to this morning's market coastwise, from Essex, Kent, and
Cambridgeshire, was very moderate; that from Lincoln-
shire and all other quarters small in the extreme, but of
full average quality. By laud carriage and samples the
receipts were unimportant. To-day the stands were
scantily supplied with all descriptions, owing to which,
and the increased number of buyers in attendance, the
demand ruled somewhat active. Selected qualities of
white sold without difficulty at an improvement in the
prices of Monday last of 2i. per quarter; the middling
and inferior kinds being Is. dearer than on that day. Red
parcels realized Is. per quarter more money, and a good
clearance was effected some time prior to the conclusion of
business. The stands were by no means extensively supplied
with foreign W heats,y et the quanta) exceeded the wants of
the miller:. Although a s-eedy business was transacted
in them, no improvement was noticed in prices, which,
however, were well supported in every instane e In
floating cargoes no transactions took place, however the
importers are mostly landing in warehouse. We had a
very moderato supply of home-grown Barley on show.
That of foreign was tAerably extensive. Malting parcels
moved off steadily at full prices. In grinding and dis
tilling sorts very little brassiness was transacted
at last week's currencies. Malt was in short
supply and sluggish inquiry, at late rate:.
The quantity ready for delivery was trifling.
The total quantity of Oats offering was less than for
some time past. Fine dry samples went off steadily, all
other kinds slowly, at unaltered quotations. In Beans
very few transactions were reported, at the late decline.
The sale for Peas was heavy, and in some instances
prices had a downward tendency. Indian Corn and Meal
were much neglected. The finest Flour ruled steady ;
inferior foreign parcels dull.

The total imports of Wool into London since our
last report hive been confined to 3 bales from Jamaica
and 25 ditto from Antwerp. The quantity of Colonial
Wool at this time on sale in the private contract market
is small, but the supplies of most other kinds ere some-
what extensive. For most descriptions the demand is in
a s'uggish state, at about stationary prices. The demand
for the manufacturing districts is falling off.

sivuTurnam.
The severity of the weather on the Continent has
produced a considerable falling-off in the imports of
foreign stock into Lnndon since Monday last. The total
arrival, including 139 oxen direct by sea from Spain,
has amounted to only 781 head. During the corres-
...
' ponding week in 1848 we received 892, and in the san.e
period in 1847, 2,013 head.

Scarcely any importations have taken place at the various
outports, and no supplies have reached us from Ireland.
With foreign stock we were very scantily supplied to-
day; nevertheless the demand fur it ruled heavy. Fresh
up to our market this morning, the receipts of hi me-
fed Beasts were limited, the time of year considered,
while the general quality was inferior. The attend-
ance of buyers was but moderate; yet the demand for
all breeds of Beasts was steady at fully last week's quo.
tations. The highest figure for the best Scots was
4s 2,1 per Sibs. at which a good clearance was effected.
The principal portion of the Bullock supply was derived
from the north( rn grazing districts. The numbers of
Sheep were very limited, yet they proved quite equal to
the wants of the buyers. Must breeds ruled steady, at
full prices. Calves and Pigs were in short supply, and
sluggish inquiry, at late rates.
