MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

The provincial markets, held on Saturday, were gene-
rally heavy for Wheat, owing to the large supplies
brought fcrwarii, and prices were from is to 2s per
quarter lower. Spring Corn was somewhat neglected.
Our foreign letters state that only a limited business has
been transacted in the continental ports on English ac-
count. At New York Flour bad given way is per
barrel, and all grain was lower to purchase. Up to our
market last week, coastwise, the receipts of all grain of
home produce were small., The foreign importations
were composed of 18,028 quarters of Wheat, 8,319 ditto
of Barley, 23,408 ditto of Oats, 2,620 ditto of Beans,
3.540 ditto of Peas, 820 ditto of Tares, 149 ditto
of Linseed, 225 ditto of Mustard Seed, 76
ditto of sundry Seeds, and 30 sacks of Flour.
The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to
cur market this morning, coastwise, was moderately
good, but its general quality exhibited a slight falling
off. By land-carriage and sample the receipts were
tolerably extensive. The actual supply of English
Wheat somewhat exceeded that brought forward on
Monday last. Still, however, as the attendance of
millers, both town and country, was large, and as most
of the dealers were short of stock, the demand for most
kinds of Wheat of home produce was steady, at prices
about equal to those obtained on this day se'nuight. At
the close of the market a good clearance of the stands
had been effected. There were several offers from Lin-
colnshire and Cambridgeshire to ship Wheat, at ruling
prices. The show of foreign Wheat was not to say
large, as a no ineonsiderable portion of the
late arrivals has gone direct into the bands of
our millers. Selected parcels of red and white
commanded a steady, though not to say brisk, inquiry,
at fully last week's quotations. Damp and inferior qua-
lities were a slow sale, but not cheaper. In floating
cargoes very little business was doing, yet the impor-
ters were firm in their demands. Scarcely any English
Barley was on sale. The supply of foreign was good.
Grinding and malting parcels—especially the former—
were in lair request, at fully previous rates. Distilling
sorts moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices.
We were again very scantily supplied with Malt;
but offers come to hand freely for forward delivery.
The amount of business doing was small, but
we have no change to notice in value. The
show of English, Irish, and Scotch Oats was trifling
in the extreme; but that of Foreign was good,cthough
very deficient in quality. Selected samples sold without
difficulty, at full currencies. Damp parcels were rather
heavy. With Beans we were fairly supplied. All
kinds ruled dull, at a fall in value of is per quarter.
The sale for Peas—the supply of which was on, the in-
crease—was in a very sluggish state, at barely late rates.
There was rather more doing in Flour, both English
and Foreign, at full prices. Indian Corn was offering at
27s 6d for Ibraila.

SEED.

Canary Seed has again improved 4s to 6s per quarter,
but the demand is by no means so active as on Monday
last. Most other Seeds are a slow inquiry, at late rates.

The slight improvement noticed in the value of stock
in this market during the ten days ending on the 22d
ult., has had the effect of increasing Vie importations
from abroad since this day se'nnight; yet, as will be
seen on reference to the following comparative state-
ment, they have not equalled those reported during the
corresponding period in 1847.

About 1.200 head have been received at the northern
outpor a. while only ten Oxen have arrived at Southamp-
ton from Spain. The supply of foreign Beasts and
Calves on offer this morning was but moderate; that of
Sheep extensive, and of very middling quality. Not-
wit hstending that the arrivals of home-fed beasts, fresh
up t)-day, were less than those reported on Monday
t, they were again extensive, even the time of year
considered. The weather being by no means favourable
fur slaughtering, the Beef trade ruled exceedingly
heavy. The very primest Scots sold with difficulty at
last wet k's prices, viz., 3s. Bd. per Blbs. In the middling
and inferior kinds of Beef, only a limited business was
transacted, at, in some instances, further depressed rates.
At the close of the market a large number of beasts
left ❑nsold. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire, we received about 2,000 Short-
horns ; from the Eastern districts, 800 Scots and
Short-horns ; from: the Western and Midland
counties, 400 Herefords, Runts, Devons, &c., and
from other pars of England, 400 of various breeds.
There was a falling off in the supply of Sheep, yet it
proved fully equal to the wants of the butchers. For
most breeds the demand was in a very sluggish state, at
prices about equal to those obtained on Monday last;
the best old Downs selling at 4s per 81bs. Although
the number of Calves was comparatively small, the de-
mand for that description of stock ruled heavy, at barely
stationary prices. So litt!e was doing in Pigs, the num-
ber of which was limited, that the quotations were almost
nominal.
