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 df 4,450 quarters of Wheat.
The receipts of English Wheat fresh up front Kent were
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 6'. 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 9,000 quarters, or,
at least, a moiety of the supply of that article brought
forward. The whole of the reported arrivals of foreign
ini‘t'it'S,erjrii Atha eitisitntaybrmAlit-TIA)-;-- &rwaytewrie
sumption a Inoderate 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 trade was active,
and the currencies improved from ls. to 2s. per quarter.
The few parcels 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.

Since Monday last the following imports of live stock have
taken place into London :
From whence. Oxen. Cows. Sheep. Calves.
Rotterdam
Hamburgh 23
Harlingen
N eudiep
Flushing

Total ...... 84 820 920 112
At the outports the arrivals have been moderately good, viz.,
about 400 Oxen and Cows, 200 Sheep, and 40 Calves, nearly
the whole of which have come to hand in excellent condition.
There were on sale to-day only 120 Oxen and Cows, 142
Sheep, and 16 Calves from abroad, which moved off slowly,
at barely late rates. The arrivals of Beasts from our own
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-fourths 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
sold at an abatement of 2d per Blbs ; but the value
of the primest Scots, Devon, Herefords, and short-
horns was mostly supported. The very highest figure
for the former kind did not exceed 4s 2d per 810 s, and at
which a clearance was not effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk,
Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 1,200 Scots,
homebreds, and shorthorns; from the midland and western
districts, 900 Herefords, runts, Devons, shorthorns, &c. ; from
other parts of England, 800 of various kinds; and from Scot-
land, 220 horned and pulled Scots. With Sheep we were I
fairly supplied, while the quality of all kinds was excellent.
On the whole, the Beef trade was steady, but by no means
brisk, at prices about equal to those paid-last week. At the
conclusion of business a fair clearance had been effected.
The primest old Downs, in the wool, sold at 5s 4d, those out
of the wool, 4s 8d per Blbs. From the Isle of Wight the ar-
rival of Lambs was very small, but from other quarters a
full average number of that description of stock came to hand.
The Lamb trade was tolerably firm at late rates. Although
the supply of Calves was small, the Veal trade ruled heavy,
at FrWay.'s depressed rates. The Pork trade was heavy, yet
prices ware mostly supported.

During the past week the arrivf.ls of Scotch and country-
killed Meat up to these markets have consisted of about 100
carcasses of Beef, 400 ditto of Mutton, 200 ditto of Lamb,
180 ditto of Veal, and 430 ditto St Pork. The supplies on
offer slaughtered in the metropolis have been seasonably
good, yet the general demand has been tolerably steady, at
but little variatiim in prices. About 60 carcasses of Foreign
Beef, 80 ditto of Mutton, and 30 ditto of Veal, have ap-
peared on sale.

About 1,000 bales of wool have been imported since this

very limited business is doing, yet we have no alteration to
notice in the quotations.

both on the spot and for forward delivery, is heavy, at the

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton in the Liverpool market on Satur-
day were about 4,000 bales, the market being quieter.
A larger quantity was on offer, and prices were more in
favour of buyers. Surat, 300 bales, sold at 4d to sd;
50 bales Egyptian realised 7/d. to 8d; and the rest was
American, at 6fd. to 71d. per lb. Railway Shares were
dull, and generally drooping.
A most important feature has prevailed in the Corn-
market this morning. The purchases on French and
Belgian account have been immensely large. Nearly
all the stands were, in fact, cleared off. The price of
Wheat was fully 6s. per quarter in advance of
the rates of last Monday ; Oats are ls. to 2s. per
quarter ; and Barley, 2s. per quarter dearer. There
was in truth a positive rush to purchase from the mo-
ment the market opened until all was cleared off. Such
an active and brisk demand, while it lasted, has not been
seen for very many years past. For a season at least
this extraordinary advance must have an influence on the
operations of the Court of Directors of the Bank of Eng-
land.

The steamer which leaves Liverpool to-morrow for the
United States takes out some amount of specie again,
but there is reason to believe that as Messrs. Rothschild
and one or two other firms have received a large amount
in bullion from the continent, within the last few day-,
there has been application made to them by exporters of
coin, rather than to the Bank of England. The latter,
it is stated, has declined to buy the specie imported
by the firms alluded to at a higher price than
usual, and this may induce them to ship it to
America and foreign parts on their own account.
Under any circumstances the receipt of this money must
afford present relief, and it would be scarcely of any
use for the Bank to be a buyer at a premium, when the
whole might soon again be withdrawn at par by the
holders of its notes. The wisest plan seems to be to let
the bullion operators make their own arrangements.
The Funds have been higher this morning, and there
has been rather an increased demand for stock. Consols
for transfer to-morrow have realised 86* to 87, and for
May 864 to 87*. The Reduced Three per Cent. An-
nuities have been 851 to 86*, and the New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. 87* to 871. The value of Exchquer-
bills has been Is. premium to 2s. discount. East India
Stock is at 245.
The Foreign Investments have varied but little.
Portuguese Bonds are dull at 344. Spanish Five per
Cents. have been quoted 25-4- k ; and the Three per
Cents., 36i 4. Brazilian Stock has been marked 82k,
and Mexican, 201 to 20i. Austrian Bonds have realised
109*, and Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents., 584.
Railway Shares have been steady, although they
were flat at Liverpool on Saturday. Great Western
New are quoted 74; North-Western, 172 to 173; South-
Western, 64 ; South-Eastern, 36* to 37 ; Brighton, 52
to 4 ; Midland, 1141 to 115 ; Eastern Counties, 18i to
19i ; Aberdeen, 27 ; York and North-Midland, 82 ;
