MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

A very little quantity of English Wheat was received
up to our market last week, coastwise as well as by land
carriage and samples, and the arrivals of all other arti-
cles of home produce were on a limited scale. From
Ireland and Scotland, next to nothing came to hand ;
while the imports from abroad were, comparatively
speaking, trifling—they principally consisting of 9,696
quarters of wheat, 17.477 ditto of oats. 1,200 ditto of
Indian corn, and 566 barrels of flour. To• day the re-
ceipts of English wheat were on the same scanty scale
we have had to report for several weeks past; con-
sequently the show of samples—especially as a good
clearance was effected on Friday—was very
small. This circumstance, together with the full
average attendance of both town and country
buyers, caused the demand for all kinds of Wheat
of home produce to rule very steady, at an advance in
the quotations paid on Monday last of from 3s to 4s per
quarter (being a rise on Friday's figures of from Is to 2s
per quarter), and at which most of the supply was dis-
posed of. With foreign Wheat we were again well
supplied ; nevertheless, the sale for that article was
active, at an improvement in value of from 2s to
3s per quarter. We may observe that the im-
porters met the buyers freely at that advance,
at which nearly 20,00 quarters changed hands.
Out of the quantity just alluded to. at least a moiety
was sold for inland consumption. Notwithstanding the
supply of Barley, both English and foreign, was small,
the trade was in a very sluggish state, at barely last
week's quotations, The supply of Malt was by no means
large; yet the Malt trade was heavy, and, to effect sales,
somewhat lower rates were submitted to by the factors.
With Oats we were very scantily supplied. The best
samples moved off steadily, at 6d. per quarter more
money, and the value of other kinds was well supported.
In Beans next to nothing was doing; but in prices we
have no alteration to notice. All kinds of Peas have
moved off steadily, at fully the late improvement in the
currencies. Indian Corn was a slow sale; yet some of
the importers held for higher rates. Flour was firm, at
2s. to as. per sack, and Is. to 2s. per barrel, more
money.

This is the first time we have had to report the arrival
of live stock from Portugal direct to London. The 130
head of Beasts alluded to above, arrived by the Falcao,
on Wednesday, in excellent condition ; but, though
received from Oporto, it is quite evident they were
grazed in Spain. The dead weight of these animals has
turned out miserably deficient ; and we are of opinion
that the speculation has been a very unprofitable one.
Most of the Oxen from Oporto had horns four feet six
inches in length, and the space between their extreme
points was nearly, or quite, five feet. At the outports,
the arrivals from Holland and Germany have been on a
very liberal scale, viz., about 1,100 Beasts, 2,200 Sheep,
100 Lambs, 200 Calves, and 120 Pigs. The principal
portion of these supplies has been landed at Hull ; and
a few cargoes have found their way into Scotland.
To-day, we had on offer about 900 Beast=, 2,200 Sheep
and Lambs, 120 Calves, and 50 Pigs, chiefly from Hol-
land and Germany, with a few of the former from
Portugal, the latter of which remained unsold on Friday.
There was a decided improvement in the demand, at
higher figures. The bullock droves from our own
grazing districts were considerably less in number than
those which came to hand on this day se'nnight ; and
their quality was very inferior, even the time of year
considered. This falling off in the supply, together with
the increased attendance of both town and country
buyers, caused the Beef trade to rule somewhat active,
at an advance in the quotations paid on Monday last of
from 2d to 4d per Blbs. The highest general figure for
the best Scots was 4s 8d per 81bs ; but some few Beasts
produced even a trifle beyond that figure. At the close
of the market a good clearance was effected. From
Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, we
received about 1,500 short-horn ; from the eastern,
western, and midland counties, 800 Herefords, runts,
Devons, &c.; from other parts of England, 500 of various
breeds; and from Scotland, 120 horned and polled Scots.
There were nearly 8,000 Sheep in the market less than
on Monday last; hence the Mutton trade was steady,
though not to say brisk, at 2d per 8 lbs. more money.
The general quality of the Sheep wes by no means good.
The season for Lamb having nearly closed, the Lamb
trade was heavy, and the prices ruled very little above
those paid for Mutton. Although the supply of Calves
was large for a Monday's market, the Veal trade was
firm, at very full prices. Prime small Porkers—which
were scarce—sold at an advance of 2d per 81bs., and the
value of other kinds of Pork were well supported.
