MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
During last week, up to Saturday evening, the arri-
vals of all articles of Grain, as well as Flour, coastwise
and by land carriage, were very small. Those from
Ireland were confined to a few quarters of Malt, and
from Scotland a few cargoes of Oats. The foreign
imports have amounted to 14,365 quarters of Wheat,
10,361 ditto of Barley, 23,907 ditto of Oats, 2,712 ditto
of Beans, 522 ditto of Peas, 35 ditto of Tares, 2,429
ditto of Linseed, 1,000 ditto of Rapeseed, 59 ditto of
sundry Seeds, 1,175 sacks and 1,222 barrels of Flour.
A portion of the above has been received from the
Baltic, and w e have advices of several vessels laden with
Grain having passed the Sound from Dantzic. Up to
the present time, therefore, the Danish war, has not
had the effect of preventing arrivals from the Elbe and
other northern ports; but it is obvious that its con-
tinuance will check importations ere long. Our
foreign advices, received this morning, state that Grain
is rising in value in several of the continental ports.
For this morning's market a very limited supply of Eng-
lish Wheat came to hand from Essex, Kent, or Cam-
bridgeshire. The show of samples of both red and
white was small, and of fair average quality, compared
with recent arrivals. The attendance of both town and
country buyers being good, and the importers of foreign
grain almost generally not being disposed to force salve,
the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was
somewhat active, at an advance in the quotations of Mon-
day last of from is to fully 2s per quarter, and at which
a clearance was effected at an early hour. The market,
however, did not close so firmly as it opened. The
quantity of Foreign Wheat was not so large as that ex-
hibited on this day se'nnight, yet it proved seasonably
large. There was a decidedly brisk inquiry for
this article, as most of the leading millers
appeared to be somewhat short of stock. Fine
dry qualities of white sold steadily at a rise of
3s. per quarter. The middling and inferior kinds rose
2s. per quarter, and a somewhat extensive business well
transacted. Floating cargoes were mostly held at the
above amount of improvement. A few found buyers st
is. to 2s per quarter more money, chiefly for the west
coast. The quantity of Barley on show was moderate.
Malting samples, both English and foreign, produced la
per quarter more money. Grinding and distilling parcels
moved off steadily, at very full prices. We had a alight
improvement in the sale for malt, and the quotations
ruled the turn in favour of the sellers. The supply
Was very moderate. There was a fair sale for,
Oats at 6d. to Is. per quarter above the rates of
Monday last. Nearly the whole of the late
imports of foreign have passed into consumption.
L'eaas were in moderate supply, and steady inquiry, at
trifle more money. The sale for Peas was active. Wit"!
and Maple qualities were 2a per quarter higher. Other

I

kinds ruled quite as dear. Indian Corn at an advaLce
of is to 2s per quarter. Meal was held for more mom y.
The Flour trade was firm, and the currencies were a
shade higher.

The continuance or very low prices here has had the
anticipated effect of causing a considerable falling-off in
the imports of live stock into London, as well as at the
principal outports. The total arrival in the metropolis
since Monday last has amounted to only 656 head. At
the corresponding period in 1848, there were received
1,156; and at the same time in 1847, 1,936 head. It
appears, therefore, that the supply in the week just con-
cluded has been less by 1,280 head than in 1847, and
less by 500 head than in 1848.
