At the outports the arrivals have been moderately good,
viz., 90 oxen and sheep and 100 cows, mostly from Rotterdam.
The great increase in the continental cattle trade for our
markets is clearly shown by the following official table of the
total imports during the years 1845 and 1846 :-

The above shews an increase in the total importations in
1846 over 1845 of 112,206 head 1 There were in the market
this morning about 100 Beasts, and 130 Sheep from Holland.
Their general quality being by no means first rate, the de-
mand was in a very sluggish state' 'and prices were not sup-
ported. From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of
Beasts fresh up, to-day, were, compared with those at the
corresponding period last year, somewhat larger—or about
1,000 head more on offer than on the 9th of March, 1846.
There were some exceedingly well made-up Devons, Here-
fords, Scots, and Home-breds on sale; but at least a Moiety
of the Beasts were light weighers. The weather being some-
what warmer than last week, the butchers evinced but
little inclination to purchase largely. The primest
arrivals were, however, in fair request at prices
about equal to those paid on Monday last; but
the inferior and second-rate ones were heavy, at, in most
instances, a decline in the quotations, of 2d. per Blbs. The
highest figure for the best Scots was 43 2d per 81bs. At the close
of the market a total clearance had not been effected. From
Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received about
1,400 Scots, homebreds, and short-horns ; from the northern
counties 350 short-horns; from the western and midland
districts 700 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ; from other
parts ofEngland, 500 of various kinds ; and, from Scotland, 220
horned and polled Scots. The remainder of the supply was de-
rived from abroad, and the neighbourhood of the metropolis.
The numbers of Sheep were considerably on the increase,
and of full average quality. Although the Mutton trade was
somewhat firmer than on Friday, it was by no means so
active at on this day se'nnight, and prices ruled a trifle
easier than on the latter day. A few very superior old
Downs sold at 5s 2d, but the more general figure did not
exceed 5s per 81bs. With Calves we were scantily supplied,
yet the Veal trade was in a very sluggish state, at barely
Stationary prices. In Pigs only a limited business was doing,
at last week's currencies. There were a few Lambs in the
market, but they sold very irregularly.

The arrivals of slaughtered Meat from Scotland and the
north of England, since. Monday last, have been but mode-
rate; those from other quarters liberal. The supplies on
offer killed in the metropolis having been seasonably exten-
sive, the general demand has ruled heavy, vet we can notice
no material alteration the currencies. On.ly about twenty
carcases of foreign Beef, fifty ditto of Mutton, and twenty
ditto of Veal, have appeared on sale.

We have again little or no alteration to notice in this mar-
ket. Selected parcels move off readily, at full prices ; but all
other qualities are much neglected, and previous rates are
with difficulty supported. Sussex pockets, 4/ to 41 85; Weald

WOOL.
The arrivals of foreign and colonial Wool continue ex-
tremely limited, they having scarcely amounted to 200 bales
and bags since Monday last. In the private market a steady
business is doing in English qualities, at full prices, but all
other kinds of Wool are mush neglected.

TALLOW.
The market continues very firm, and prices are still look-
ing upward. P. Y. C. on the spot is held at 50s to 51s 3d;
and for arrival, 46s per cwt. Our advices from St. Peters-
burgh bring high rates. Town Tallow is steady, at 50s 3d,

CORN EXCHANGE.-MONDAY.
The arrivals of English Malt for our market last week
were somewhat large, while those of Flour were moderate.
Of Wheat, Barley, Oats, Beans, and Peas, of home growth,
the receipts were, taken collectively, small. There was a
slight increase in the supply of Scotch Barley ; but from
Ireland only about 900 quarters came to hand. The imports
of foreign Wheat and Flour were trifling, but upwards of
27,000 quarters of Oats, and a fair quantity of Barley, came
to hand. From Essex the receipts of Englieh Wheat fresh
up this morning wcre good, but by no means of very superior
quality. The supply front Kent was less than that
received on Monday last, while from the Essex coast
the quantify was barely an average. Although the
number of samples left over from last week was
comparatively small, the stands were tolerably well,
but by no means heavily, filled with parcels of red and white
English Wheat. There being again several buyers from
France in attendance, we have to report a very steady de-
mand for all descriptions. About 1,200 quarters of Kentish
red were disposed of for immediate shipment to the French
ports. et an advance in the quotations obtained on Monday
last of 5s per quarter; while, for home consumption, 38 to 4s
per quarter more money was paid for red qualities. In white
parcels not quite so much business was doing as in red, ne-
vertheless the currencies improved 2s to 3s per quarter, and
at which nearly the whole of the samples were
disposed of. Owing to the foreign demand, red Wheat
is now bearing a very high relative value to white.
The quantity of Foreign Wheat brought forward was un-
usually small, and, no doubt, will continue so for some weeks
hence. This article was in good request for France, and
about 2,000 quarters found purchasers, at a rise in value of
from is to, in some few instances, 38 per quarter. Notwith-
standing the show of Barley was but moderate, the Barley
trade—arising from the heaviness in that for Malt—was dull,
at an abatement in value of fully is per qr. Foreign Barleys
were a mere drug. The supply of Malt exceeding the wants
of the brewers, all kinds moved off heavily at a
reduction in last week's prices of from Is to 2s per quarter.
The market being very heavily supplied with foreign Oats,
buyers held off, and the prices were Is to 2s per quarter lower
than on Monday last, and at which the market closed heavily.
In Beans, next to nothing was doing, at an abatement of
quite Is per quarter. Peas were in short supply, and slow
inquiry, at unaltered prices. Flour—both sack and barrelled,
was held at Is to 2. more money. Indian Corn, both on the
spot and for arrival, was very firm, but not dearer.
