MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

Coastwise, as well as by land carriage and samples, the
arrivals of English Wheat for our market, last week, were
on a very limited scale. Those of Spring Corn were
again small. The supply of Flour by railway was sea-
sonably large. Several parcels of Barley and Oats came
to hand from Scotland in good condition. The Foreign
importations, compared with those of the preceding week,
were very moderate, viz, 18,817 quarters of Wheat; 8,648
ditto "of Barley; 4,637 ditto of Oats; 3,747 ditto of
Rye; 675 ditto of Beans; 1,634 ditto of Peas; 1,688 ditto
of Tares; 2,453 ditto of Linseed; 18 ditto of Rapeseed;
10 ditto of sundry seeds; 2,680 sacks and 2,954 barrels of
Flour. As nearly the whole of the Baltic fleet has
at length arrived, the importations during the
next two or three months will doubtless be small.
The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to-day,
from our various grain districts was very small, especi-
cially from Kent and Cambridgeshire. The samples were
in very middling order, owing to the prevailing humidity.
The stands were scantily filled with parcels of each
description, while the demand for all kinds of Wheat of
home produce was steady, and last Monday's prices were
supported in every instance, and at which a clearance
was effected. The near approach of that period when
the present scale of import duties is to cease, viz., the
Ist proximo, formed a strong inducement for the
millers not to purchase beyond their immediate wants.
We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with free foreign Wheat. Really fine samples of both
red and white moved off steadily, at very full prices.
The middling and inferior kinds were in but moderate
request, at late currencies. There was more disposition
shown to purchase wheat in bond, the price of which is
nearly on a par with free qualities, at the extreme prices
of this day week. The supply of foreign Barley was
large, that of English rather limited. There was more
doing in fine malting samples, at very full prices, Grind-
ing and distilling sorts .were neglected. We have to
report a very inactive sale for all kinds of malt, at
almost nominal currencies. Selected samples of Oats
were steady at full quotations. All other kinds were
quite as dear. The supply was far from extensive. In
Beans scarcely any business was transacted. Inferior
parcels of foreign were easier to purchase. Peas of all
kinds were dull, at our quotations. Indian Corn no-
minal. Flour was unaltered in value, with very little
doing in it.

As the principal cattle-shipping ports in Holland are now
closed, the imports of foreign stuck for some time hence
will, doubtless, be small. Still, however, as the home
supplies are on the increase, both in number and quality,
we do not anticipate any decided improvement in value.
As we showed last week, the arrivals of foreign stock
into the United Kingdom during 1848 were .less than
those of 1847, by upwards of 20,000 head. We should
not be surprised to find an equal decline in them this
season, as we have every reason to expect heavy receipts
of both Beasts and Sheep from Norfolk and the other
eastern grazing districts. The fact is the foreign graziers
have not derived that amount of benefit from our mar-
kets they were led to anticipate, and nothing but cora-
paiatively high prices here will form an inducement for
them to ship largely. The number of foreign stock in
to. day's market, as will be seen by the annexed return,
was limited, even for the time of year, and of very in-
ferior quality. The Beasts and Sheep sold somewhat
freely, at a trifle more money, but Calves were much
neglected. With home-fed Beasts we were very scantily
supplied this morning, the result, doubtless, of the low
prices lately obtained here for that description of stock,
and which have induced many of the leading graziers to
refrain from forwarding their stock at the present mo-
ment, and their quality exhibited a material falling off.
Although the attendance of buyers was not to say large,
the Beef trade was firm, at an advance in the quotations
realised on Monday lest of quite 2d per filbs. A few
very sup, rig r sorts sold at 4s 4d; but the more general
top figure was 4s °el per Sibs. There was a considerable
falling off in the numbers of Sheep, there being a defie
ciency of about 5,000 head compared with last week's
supply; hence the Mutton trade was firm at fully, but at
nothing quotable beyond, the currencies paid on this day
se'nnight. The primest old Downs sold feely at from
4a 8d to 4s 10d per Blbs. Calves, though in short sup-
ply, moved off slowly at last, week's quotations. Prime
email Pigs sold steadily; other hinds of Pigs slowly, at
,
late rates. The bullock droves from the north of Eng-
land Comprised about 1,000 short horns. Hera Norfolk,
Suffolk, &c ,
we received about 1,000 Scots, short horns,
Vic•; and from
other parts of England, 500 Herefords,
nuns, Devons,
84. The Scotch steamer did not arrive
