The Sun.
London, England, 1849-07-02 00:00:00

Letters received this morning from the near conti-
nental ports state that holders of Wheat are generally
firm. The supplies offering 'n the various markets have
been small, and prices have been well supported. Pur-
chases have been made to some extent in Holland and
Belgium, for shipment to England. We have later ad-
vices from New York. The general features of the trade
had not altered. The accounts respecting the growing
crops continue very favourable. Spring corn, however,
is rilitt in want of rain. The arrivals of' all English
Grain, as well as Flour, for our market, last week, were
small. Those from Ireland and Scotland were very li-
mited. From abroad we received 20,557 quarters of
Wheat, 7,382 ditto of Barley, 20,525 ditto of Oats,
5,920 ditto of Beans, 974 ditto of Peas, 310 ditto of
Tares, 1,349 ditto of Linseed, 95 ditto of Rapeseed,
300 ditto of sundry seeds, 4,715 sacks and 1,718 barrels
of flour. The quantity of English Wheat received
fresh up to our market today, coastwise and by
land carriage, was again very limited, though
of full average quality, hence the show of samples
of both red and white was trifling. Selected
qualities were, in some instances, disposed off at a slight
but not at a quotable advance in the prices of Monday
last. A good clearance of the middling and inferior
kinds was easily effected, at fully last week's quotations,
at which the market closed firmly. There were offers
for delivery of Wheat within the next ten days or a fort-
night from the north of England at the ruling figures. The
large arrival of foreign W heat pr,duced some sluggish-
ness in the sale for that article to-day. Still, fine samples
sold at the extreme currencies of last week, and at w hich
from 4,000 to 5,000 quarters changed hands. The in-
ferior and damp samples, though in very moderate re-
quest, were quite as dear as last advised. Floating
cargoes firm. No Erglisli Barley at market, but the
show of Foreign samples was good. Grinding samples
sold somewhat freely, at full prices. In the value of
Malting and Distilling sorts we have no change to notice.
We had a large supply of Malt on show. For all de-
scriptiens the demand was heavy, yet the factors refused
to sell except at the extreme rates of Monday last.
The demand for the best fresh Oats was firm, at an im-
provement in value of 6d per quarter. Damp and other-
wise out of condition samples were dull. English BeanS
moved off freely, at a rise of is per quarter. Foreign
were a very slow inquiry, at late rates. Peas commanded
very little attention, at previous currencies. 'We have
no change to notice in Fleur, the demand for which was
far from active. Indian Cotn and Meal dull.

Although the prices of each kind of stock obtained
hors continuo low, if %%C exccpt those of Lamb the ice'
ports from the Continent have been on an extensive
scale since Monday lust. The total arrival has amounted
to 4,035 head; at the corresponding period in 1848 we
received only 1,718, uud at the same time in 1847,
3,517 head.

At Hull, and the other northern outports, about 750
head have been landed, chiefly from Rotterdam. The
continuance of the Danish blockade effectually prevents
arrivals taking place from the German ports. Unless
prices should advance here to some extent—and which
is somewhat unlikely—we shall be without any imports
from either Spain or Portugal during the greater pottioo
of the season. Amongst the arrivals into London, since
our last, have been upwards of 14,000 canisters of pre-
served meat from Charente. This is the largest
portation on record in one vessel. From Ireland, by se*
85 oxen, and l(;8 lambs have reached us for this market.
The supply of Beasts on sale in to-day's market being
considerably on the increase, and of excellent quality,
the demand for all kinds was in a very inacqve state, at
a decline in the quotations realised on Monday last, or
quite 2d per Sibs. The top figure for the best Scots waS
3s 8:1 per 81bs, and at which a total clearance was not ef•
fected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge*
shire, we received 1,200 Scots, hombreds, and short
horns; from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire,and Northamr
tonshire, 800 short horns ; from the Western and Mid-
land districts, 600 Herefords, runts, Devons, and Irish
beasts ; from other parrs of England, 400 of various
breeds ; and from Scotland, 180 horned and polled Scots.
There was a decided falling off in the number of Sheep-
Prime old Downs (which were scarce) sold at price 9
fully equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight•
Otherwise the Mutton trade was tar from active, at und
altered currencies. We had a full average supply of
Lambs on offer, the time of the year considered. Oolf
a moderate business was transacted in this description of
stock, at last week's quotations. Calves were in fair
average supply and limited request, at late rates. The
Pork trade was heavy ; in prices, however, we have no
change to notice. _

BOROUGH AND SPITALWIELBS.
For the time of year, these markets continue to be
very moderately supplied with new potatoes of home
growth. The demand for them is somewhat inactive, at
from 91 to 12/ per ton. During the week, ending on
Saturday, the arrivals from abroad were composed of
122 baskets, 75 bags from Antwerp; 41 sacks, 95
baskets from Havre; and not leis than 9,917 baskets
from Rotterdam—forming a total foreign supply of
about 650 tons, end which have sold at from 81 to 101
per ton.

Mitonoison EOD =ARMLET.
As the reports from the plantati,ns are still unfit-
vourab!e, a further fail hes taken place in the estimated
duty (which has been done as low as 75,0001.); never-
theless, the demand is far from active, at prices barely
equal to those obtained last week. The market is scantily
supplied with samples. Sussex pockets, 65s to 86s;
Weald of Kent ditto, 725 to 84s; and Mid and East Kent
ditto, 84s to 140 s per cwt.
WOOL.
Very extensive imports of Wool took place into
London last week, viz., .5,592 bales from Sydney; 25
ditto from Charente; 1,282 ditto from Geelong; 102
ditto from Odessa; 70 bags from Trieste; 650 bales from
Launceston; 517 ditto from New Zealand; 70 ditto from
the Cape; 322 ditto from Port Beaufort; 3,132 from
Port Philip; 600 ditto from Ilamburgh; and 1,400 ditto
from Hobart Town. The catalogues for the forthcom-
ing public sales—whch will, doubtless, belarge—are ex-
pected to be issued this week. In the meantime the de-
mand by private contract is heavy, but we have no
change to notice in prices.
The demand for Ti IL is tolerable
