MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
The arrivals of all kinds of English grain, as well as
Flour, for our market last week, coastwise and by land
carriage, were extremely small, and the majority of the
samples came to hand greatly out of condition. Scarcely
any grain arrived either from Ireland or Scotland. The
foreign imports were, however, very extensive, they
consisting of not less than 45,417 quarters of Wheat,
chiefly from the Baltic and the near Continental ports;
13,183 ditto of Barley, 36,886 ditto of Oats, 825 ditto of
Rye, 1,390 ditto of Beaus, 938 ditto of Peas, 704 ditto
of Tares, 65 ditto of sundry Seed; 2,807 sacks and 20
barrels of Flour. The want of buyers for these heavy
importations is producing a heavy accumulation of stock
in the warehouses, free as well as bonded, and
there appears every prospect of a further con-
siderable accession to it, as we learn that very
large supplies are on their way hither from
various quarters, especially from the Black Sea.
Fresh up, this morning, from Essex, Kent, Cambridge-
shire, &c., a very short supply of Wheat came to hand,
coastwise and by land carriage and sample. The pre-
vailing fine seasonable weather had conAderable effect
upon the condition of the Wheats, especially the new
qualities. The attendance of both town and country
buyers being on the increase, and the samples more fit
for grinding purposes than fur some time past, the de-
mand for those of home produce was steady. The finest
arcels sold at is to 2s more money than on Monday
last; but, allowing for the improvement in the condition
of the Wheats, no actual rise can be noticed—the ad-
vance above noticed having solely arisen from the cir-
cumstance just alluded to. At the close of the market,
a good clearance was effected. Since the returns were
made up on Saturday evening, several cargoes of Wheat,
Barley, and Oats have arrived from abroad. To-day, we
had a very large supply of foreign Wheat on offer. Really
fine samples of both red and white were held steadily at
fully last week's currencies. The middling and inferior
kinds were neglected, yet we cannot call them cheaper.
Floating cargoes of Wheat, Barley, and Oats were fre< ly
offered at late rates; but the want of buyers compelled
the importers to land in warehouse. The supply of Bar-
ley, from the late extensive arrivals of foreign, was
large. Selected qualities of making produced full
prices. Grinding and distilling sorts were very dull, at
barely late rates. 'We were but moderately supplied
with Malt. Parcels, both on the spot and for delivery,
were very dull, and prices were with difficulty sup-
ported. The quantity of Oats on offer was very
large ; hence the Oat trade ruled extremely inactive,
and damp qualities were the turn in favour of the buyers.
Beans were in moderate supply and heavy inquiry at
barely stationary prices. Scarcely a transaction took
place in English qualities. Grey and Maple Peas moved
off heavily at Is to 2s per quarter less money. White
samples were unaltered in value. Indian Corn and Meal
sold slowly at late rates. The top price of the best Town
made Flour was 42s per 2801bs. Foreign sack and bar-
relled qualities might have been purchased on somewhat
lower terms.

SEED MARKET.
Clover Seed is a very slow inquiry, and most kinds
may be purchased on lower terms. Rapeseed, Canary,
and most other kinds of seeds are a dull sale. Cakes
heavy, at the late decline. The stock of Clover Seed on

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
Although only a moderate business is doing in the
best kinds of Hops, such descriptions are steady, at full
rates of currency. The inferior qualities are dull in the
extreme, and almost nominal in value. Sussex pockets,
214 s to 31; Weald of Kent ditto, 21 12s to 31 8s; Mid
and East Kent ditto 3/TEFIEL 3s to 5/ Ss per cwt.
For the time of year the arrivals of foreign stock in
the port of London, since Monday last, have been some-
what extensive as to ntimb,r, but very deficient in qua-
lity. The total importation has amounted to 1,944
head, chiefly from Holland. At the corresponding
period in 1848, we rec ived only 898, and at the same
time 1847, 905 head. It appears, therefore, that in the
past weak, the cup fly exceeded that in 1847 by 1,039;
and by 1,046 head the number imported in 1848. The
annexed statement shows the quarters from whence the
stock has been derived:—
