MARKET NEW S.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE.—MONDAY..
Up to our market last week, the arrivals of all kinds
of Grain of home produce, especially those of Wheat
Oats, Beans, and Peas, were on a very limited scale,
the time of year considered, From Ireland and Scotland
very little grain reached us ; N hile the imports from
abroad were composed of 9,603 quarters of Wheat,
chiefly from Russia; 240 ditto of Barley; 3,816 ditto of
Oats; 229 ditto of Beans; 3,706 ditto of Peas; and 180
ditto of Indian Corn. Nu arrivals of Foreign Flour took
place from any quarter. From Essex, Kent, Cambridge-
shire, &c., the receipts of English Wheat fresh up to-
day, coastwise, as well as by land carriage, were very
moderate, and the stands were scantily filled wit
samples of both red and white, owing. to which,
and the increased attendance of both town
arid country buyers, the whole of whom were very short
of stock. The trade, with all descriptions, was firm'
at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, the prices
obtained on Monday last. At the close of business a
good clearance had been effected. The quantity of
really fine, or even good fortign Wheat on show was
trifling in the extreme, nearly the whole of the recent
importations having been greatly out of condition, and
which remark may be applied to most of the parcels
now in warehouse ; however, the sale for those qualities
was somewhat active, though we cannot call it brisk,
at full currencies. All other kinds moved off slowly
at late rates, at which holderswere somewhat firm.
Notwithstanding the supply of English Barley was
somewhat on the increase, most descriptions were in im-
proved request, arid the prices were well maintained
in
every instance. For the best town Malt the demand
was tolerably steady, at full prices. All other kinds met
a dull inquiry at last week's figures. There were veisrl.,
few Oats on the market, nevertheless that grain was ".7
no means active. The quotations, however, paid es
this day se'nnight were well supported, and very
few parcels were left over for Wednesday
The supply of English Beans was small; that of foreign
good. Most kinds were a slow sale at late rates. A
kinds of Peas moved off somewhat steadily, and prices
were well supported. Indian Corn,
flour were quite as dear. Flour was in moderate re'
quest at full prices. Meal, and re

At the outports, the arrivals have been small, on a com-
parison of weeks, viz., 800 head of each kind of stocKs
mostly from Germany. Tho general quality has bees
very inferior. With foreign stock we were very has
supplied, the numbers consistin of only about 3N,
Beasts, 600 Sheep, and 50 Calves; yet the dominos
from most of the animals being exhibited in very poor
condition, was heavy, and a total clearance was
hy .
effected, although the importers would willingly
accepted lower prices. The arrivals of Beasts fresh
n"
up
this morning from our large grszing districts, viz., Li
colnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, com-
, prised about 1,650 short horns, from the eastern,
western, and midland counties, 900 Herefords, runts,
Devons, Irish beasts, &c.; from other parts of England:
900 of various kinds; and from Scotland, 200 horned
and polled Scots. The remainder of the bullock sUr
plies was derived from abroad and the neighbourhood
of the metropolis. Owing to the very unfaiourable
state of the weather for slaughtering, and the caution
manifested on the part of the butchers in effecting pur-
chases, we have to report a very inactive. demand for
all kinds of Beef, although the bullock supply was by
no means large, the time of year considered, and last
week's quotations were with difficulty supported. The
highest figure for the best Scots was 4s 8I per 81bs. In
the general quality of the beasts a decided iinprovemente
was noticed, yet it was not first-rate. The supplY 0
Sheep was on the decrease, compared with that sbown
on Monday last. For all breeds the demand was in a
sluggish state, but we can notice no actual decline in
prices. Prime cld Downs sold at from 5s to sa
2d;
Half-breds, 4s 8d to 4s 10d per 81bs. With Calves we
were scantily supplied; nevertheless, the Veal trade WWI
in a very dull state, at late figures. Prime small Porkers
sold at full prices. Otherwise the Pork trade was very
dull.
