HIS DAY).

CORN-EXCHANGE.M ONDA Y.

The arrivals of English Wheat, up to our market last
week, were on a very moderate scale, while those of all other

grain of home produce, including Flour, were unusually
small. From Ireland and Scotland scarcely any corn came
to hand. The imports of Foreign Wheat, Barley, and Peas,
were trifling ; but those of Oats, Beans, and Flour—the
latter exceeding 23,000 barrels, chiefly from America—were
moderately good. Fresh up coastwise, as well as by land
carriage and samples, a fair average quantity of Wheat of
home produce came to hand from Essex and Kent; but from
the other home counties, the receipts of that article were
trifling. The stands being scantily tilled with samples, and the
attendance of both town and country buyers good, the demand
for English Wheat was firm, at an advance in the qnotations
paid on Monday last of from Is to 2s per quarter. This im-
provement was realized on Friday, consequently prices were
not higher than on that day, and a total clearance was not
effected. With free foreign Wheat we were scantily sup-
plied. All descriptions commanded a ready, but not to say
brisk inquiry, at a rise in the currencies of from is to 2s per
quarter from this day se'nnight. There was a very good
demand for inferior foreign Wheats in bond for shipment to
Ireland, at is to 2s per quarter more money. Selected
and middling qualities were not dearer, although
a good business was transacted in them. The show

of Barley, both English and foreign, but especially
that of the former, was trifling. The malsters being in want
of supply, the demand was active, at a further advance in
the quotations of from is to 2s per quarter. Scarcely any
Malt was on offer. ThOSS parties in actual want were com-
pelled to give from is to 2s per quarter more money than
last week. Several parcels were disposed of for forward de-
livery at that amount of improvement. The show of Oats
was wholly inadequate to meet the demand, which was, in
consequence active, at Is to 2s per quarter above last Mon-
day's figures. Very few Beans were on offer, owing to which
holders refased to sell except at is to 2s per quarter more
money. All kinds of Peas moved off readily, at a rise of from
Is to 2s per quarter. Flour was in good request at the late
advance in value.

The imports of live stock into London during the past
week have been vary limited, viz., 20 Cows and 250 Sheep
from Boulogne, together with 3 Oxen, 46 Cows, and 356
Sheep from Harlingen. At the outports about 200 Beasts
and 600 Sheep have been landed from Holland, and 20 Oxen
from Spain, in moderate condition. To-day we had on offer
20 Beasts and 80 Sheep from Holland and 2 Oxen from
Spain, the whole of which found buyers at somewhat im-
proved currencies. With home-fed Beasts we were, the time
of year considered, scantily supplied; while the general
quality of that description of stock was by no means first rate.
The weather being favourable to slaughtering, and the
attendance of buyers numerous, the Beef trade was steady,
and in sonic instances a trifle more money was obtained for
the best Scots, Devons, and Herefords. At the close of busi-
ness a good clearance had been effected. The arrivals from
the northern districts comprised about 1,100 short-horns ;
from the eastern counties, 300 Herefords, short-horns, and
Scots; from the western and midland districts, 700 here-
fords, runts, Devons, &c.; and from other parts of England,
500 of various breeds : the remainder of the supply being
chiefly derived from the neighbourhood of the metropolis.
The numbers of Sheep were small, but of excellent quality.
All breeds commanded a steady though not to say brisk de-
mand at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, last week's
prices. With Calves we were moderately supplied, while the
Veal trade was steady, and previous rates well supported.
There was more inquiry for Pigs, but in prices we have no
alteration to report.
