MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE—(MONDAY.)
Letters from the leading country markets, held on
Saturday, state that a very inactive demand was expo'
rienced for Wheat, on somewhat lower terms. Spring
Corn sold to a fair extent, at full prices. Our continetal
advices are to the effect that a steady, though not to say
brisk, inquiry has prevailed for,Wheat and Flourfor slur
ment to England. From New York we learn that, some
days prior to the 17th instant, rather a firm demand bad
existed cn English account, at improved quotations. vg
to our market last week the arrivals of all kinds et
English, Irish, and Scotch Grain were on a very limiter'
scale. The foreign imports amounted to 11,419 quarters
of Wheat, 3,635 ditto of Barley, 16,075 ditto of Oath
805 ditto of Rye, 3,077 ditto of Beans, 411 ditto of NA,
651 ditto of Tares, 2,381 ditto of Linseed, 147 ditto or
Rapeseed, 306 do. of sundry seeds, and 3,191 sacks of Floer•
The quantity of Wheat of home produce received fresh
up to our market this morning, coastwise as well as 11
land carriage and sample, was very moderate, but of flair,.
average quality. Notwithstanding that the number or
samples of both red and white on offer was comparatively
small, the demand for all kinds of English Wheat, owing
to the readiness evinced by the importers of foreign to
make sales, and the favourable accounts received from
the provinces respecting the general appearance of the
growing crops, was in a very dull state, at prices barely
equal to those paid on this day se'nnight, and at Which
a total clearance was not effected. We were tolerably
well, but not to say heavily, supplied with foreign
Wheat, the arrivals of which since the returns were WO'
up on Saturday have been small. Selected sainfl
were mostly held at prices fully equal to those 'obtained
last week, at which, however, very few transaction,
took place. Damp and otherwise out of condition Pero
eels were somewhat lower to purchase. Floating earPed
dull. The show of Barley (which was wholly composet
of foreign samples was small; hence the demand for the
article was tolerably firm. In prices, however, we halo
s
no advance to notice. Although the supply of Malt
very small, that article moved off slowly at barely
stationary prices. The supply of home-grown 0.1t5
was trifling in the extreme ; that of forelle
very moderate, as the dealers were an°!l„,f
short of stock. The Oat trade was ia f ;
and the currencies improved upon those of Monday 1s a
from 6d to Is per quarter. The demand for Beans
somewhat inactive, nevertheless, late rates were Inest4
supported. Peas—the supply of which was
off slowly at last week's prices. Indian Corn was offer„
ing at a reduction of 2s to 3s per quarter, without ,flee"si
ing buyers. The quantity here is very small. In
nothing doing. The best Flour sold at full prices.
condary sorts were neglected.

From the above ret
n we have omitted a cargo "
Sheep from Spain, between 400 and 500 in number,
which reached the Thames late on Saturday evenn
These Sheep were not in the market to-day, as they 'icl
not been officially inspected. At Southampton %
Oxen have come to hand from Spain; while the in:To',
at Hull, &c., from Holland have comprised about 40"
head of Beasts, Sheep, and Calves, in fair average cow;
dition. Another arrival of preserved meat, consisting °I
19 cases and 8 casks, has taken place from Sydney. Tho
supply of Stock by sea from Ireland during the week bas
been confined to 50 Oxen and 108 Lambs. The numbers
of foreign Stock on offer this morning were season-
ably good; but the general quality was not quiff
equal to that observed last week. There sag
a considerable increase in the arrivals of beasts
fresh up for this morning's market, especially from the
North of England. At least three.fourths of them were
of full average quality. Although the attendance of both
s
town and country buyers was good, the beef trade "fa.

highest figure for the best Scots was 3s 10d per 81b, an
a larger number of beasts remained unsold at the close
of business. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cast'
bridgeshire, wo received about 1,200 Scots, Short-11°I.,,107)

Short-horns ; from the western and Inidl,s,,-pr

from Scotland, 210 horned and polled Sc(),-;
The numbers of Sheep were large, even the time of t,P.h
year considered. A few of the primest Downs sold iviot
difficulty, at prices about equal to those obtained
week—viz., from 3s 10d to 4s per 81bs ; but all otii`o
f
breeds were a very dull sale, at in most instances $ s
in value of 2d per Blbs. With Lambs we were well sups
plied. The demand for that description of stock ivve
heavy, at barely stationary prices. The sale for Ctiyo
—the supply of which was tolerably extensive---",'
heavy, at late rates. The Pork trade was in a very sisp
gish state, at last week's quotations.
