MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
The arrivals of- all kinds of Grain of home produce up to
our market last week, especially those of Barley, Oats, Beans,
and Peas, were on a very limited scale; while those from
Ireland and Scotland were unusually small. However, the
imports of foreign Barley and Oats were on an extensive
scale; those of all ether articles being trifling in the extreme,
even allowing for an importation of 4,450 quarters of Wheat.
The receipts of English Wheat fresh up from Kent ware
moderate. Those from Essex, Cambridge, &e., small. The
stands being scantily supplied with samples, arising from a
good clearance being effected on Friday last, and the attend-
ance of buyers, several of whom were from France, large ;
the English Wheat trade was very brisk, at an improve-
ment in the quotations obtained on Monday last, of. from
ss. to 6e. per quarter, and at which the whole -of the sam-
ples were disposed of. The tradsactions in English Wheat, for
shipment to France, consisted of nearly 2;000 quarters, or,
at least, a moiety of the supply of that article brought
forward. The whole of the reported arrivals of foreign
Wheat were taken afloat last week for Havre; however, we
had a very limited quantity on offer to-day. For home con-
sumption a moderate business was doing, while for export
to France about 3,000 quarters were disposed of, at an im-
provement in value of fully 3s. per quarter. A larger
business would, doubtless, have been concluded had
the supplies been on a more liberal scale. Not-
withstanding the large arrival of foreign Barley last week,
the actual supply on sale this morning was by no means
good. All kinds, owing to the dealers being very short of
stock, moved off briskly, at is. to 2s. above last Monday's
prices. With Malt we were rather scantily supplied, yet the
demand was by no means active. In prices we have no
alteration to notice. Although upwards of 30,000 quarters
of Oats came in from abroad last week, the tradd was active,
and the currencies improved from is. to 2s. per quarter.
The few p trcels of English brought forward sold at high rates.
The show of Beans being trifling, there was a decided im-
provement in the demand, at is per quarter more money.
There was only a moderate inquiry for Peas; yet they were
mostly held at higher rates. Indian Corn, for arrival, was is
to 2s per quarter higher. The Flour trade was firm, and
some of the millers would not sell except at higher rates.

grazing districts, fresh up this morning, were, the time of
year considered, very large, viz., nearly 4,000 head,
and of
most excellent quality; indeed, we may state that at least
three-fbtirths of the supply were above the middle quality.
Notwithstanding the attendance of both town and country
buyers was numerous, the Beef trade was in a very
sluggish state, and the few inferior animals on offer f
sold at an abatement of 2d per 81b3; but - the value '
of - the primest Scots, Devon', HerefordS, 'and short-
horns was mostly supported. The very •bighest figure
for the. former kind did not exceed 4s 2kter,'Slbs, and at -

Essex, and Camliridgeihire we received about 1,200 Scots,
homebreds, and ahorthorns ; 'from the Midland' '.and western
districts, 900 Irlerefords, runts, Devons, slioith9rns, &c. ; from
other parts of England, SOO of various kinds; and from Scot-
land,. 220 horned and polled Scots. With Sheep we were
fairly supplied, white the quality of all kinds was excellent.

On the whole, the Beef trade was steady, but by no means
brisk, at'pricea about equal to those paid last week. At the

About 1,000 bales of wool have been imported since this
day ae'ennight. In the private contract market—notwith-
standing the supplies on offer are by no means extensive—a
very limited business is doing, yet we have no alteration to
notice in the quotations.
