MARKET NE Ws.—(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

Letters received in town this morning state that the
various markets held in the provinces, on Saturday,
were heavy for all kinds of Wheat, at drooping prices.
The cutting of Wheat and Barley has been pretty gene-
rally commenced in most of our forward districts, under
favourable auspices. Advices from New York are to
the effect that a good business was doing in Grain and
Flour on English account, at very full prices. The
Continental markets have ruled firm, notwithstanding
that the blockade of the Baltic is expected to be taken
off on the 10th inst. The arrivals of English Grain
for our market last week, coastwise, was very small,
but the imports from abroad were liberal, viz.-16,040
quarters of Wheat, 11,024 ditto of Barley, 45,152 ditto
of Oats, 2,611 ditto of Rye, 599 ditto of Beans, 1,458
ditto of Peas, 1,172 ditto of Tares, 8,415 ditto of
Linseed, 5 ditto of Rapeseed, 1,011 ditto of sundry
seed 3, 2 983 sacks and 630 barrels of Flour,
The favourable accounts received from most parts of the
country respecting the appearance of the growing crops,
the prevailing fine weather for harvest work, and the
con'inued arrivals from abroad, had considerable influ-
ence upon the trade here today. The fresh supply of
English Wheat on show was limited. Still, however,
the demand for all descriptions was in a very depressed
state, at a decline in the quotations of Monday last of
Ft,IIR SHILLINGS per quarter. At that amount of depres-
sion the millers purchased with extreme caution, and a
total clearance of the stands was not effected.
No new Wheat was offering, but samples aro ex-
pected this week. Tho quantity of foreign Wheat
was somewhat extensive. For all kinds the demand
was unusually Leavy, at 2s to 33 per quarter
beneath last week's currencies. Floating cargoes were
wholly neglected. Since the returns were made up on
Saturday, rather a large fleet of grain vessels has arrived
from various quarters. No English Barley was on the
market ; but the supply of Foreign was good. The sale
for grinding samples was not so active as on Monday
last ; nevertheless, that day's prices were mostly sup-
ported. In malting and distilling sorts, next to nothing
doing, at barely late rates. Th." market was somewhat
heavily supplied with malt. Where sales took place,
prices ruled a shade lower than last advised. With
home grown Oats we were very scantily sup-
plied ; but the show of Foreign samples
was very large. For ell kinds, the demand
was very heavy, and the out of condition sorts were a
shade lower. IVe had a few new grey Peas on sale.
They were taken at 315 to 33s per quarter. In old
samples next to nothing doing. All kinds of Beans
moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices. Indian
corn and meal we re offering on lower terms. Sack Flour
might Lave been purchased at a reduction of 23 per
2801bs. Barrel qualities were quite Is cheaper.

those received on this day se'iinight, yet they proved

the dead markets were scantily supplied, and the attend-

steady, and in some instances the quotations ruled 24
per 81bs higher than on Friday—a fair clearance being
effected at prices fully equal to those obtained on Mon-
day last. A few very superior Scots produced 4s, but
the general top figure for Beef was 3s 10d per 81bs.
The supply of Beasts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire, amounted to 700 Scots, Shorthorns and
Homebreds; from the northern counties, 1,000 Short-

NEW'GATE AND LEADENITALL.
Scarcely any supplies of Meat have reached us during
the week from distant quarters; and those on offer killtd
in the metropolis have been very moderate. Still, how-
ever, the general trade, owing to most of the butchers
having purchased extensively in Smithfield, has been in
a very sluggish state, at in most instances, a decline in
prices of 2d per 81bs. About 900 carcases of foreign
Meat have been disposed of at low rates.
