MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

During last week, the receipts of English Wheat, Barley,
Beans, and Flour, were slightly on the increase; but those
of all other articles of home produce were small. From
Scotland no Grain came to hand ; while from Ireland, only one
small cargo of Oats was received. The imports of Foreign
Wheat, Barley, Oats, an I Linseed, were seasonably good.
Those of Flour large, viz., upwards of 20,000 barrels. Fresh
up from Kent, an unusually large supply of English Wheat
reached us by water carriage ; indeed, we may observe it was
the most extensive we have had occasion to report
during the last two years. From Essex, Cambridge-
shire, &c., the receipts were but moderate. The
stands being somewhat heavily filled with samples,
the country markets coming lower, and the prospect of fu-
ture importations somewhat improved, the demand for all
descriptions of Wheat of home produce, notwithstanding the
attendance of buyers was good, ruled very heavy, at a de- '
cline in the quotations obtained on Monday last of from 4s. to
ss. per quarter, and a large quantity remained unsold at the
close of the market. Although the actual quantity of foreign
Wheat on offer was by no means large, that article was a
mere drug, and is. to 2s. per quarter lower.
Holders, however, were by no means anxious sellers,
hence the above abatement was not generally submitted to.
The quantity of Barley brought forward was not to say
large. Selected parcels were in moderate request at last
week's prices, but all other kinds hung on hand, though they
were not cheaper. With Malt we were rather scantily sup-
plied. The. brewers purchased with considerable caution,
and, notwithstanding the actual business doing was small,
the rates of this day se'nnight were mostly supported.
There were comparatively few Oats on sale; nevertheless,the
demand for that article was heavy, at an abatement of from
Is to 2s per quarter. In Beans next to nothing was doing,
and the rates receded is to 2s per quarter. The sale for
Peas was dull, at a decline in value of from Is to 2s per
quarter. Flour, both in barrells and sacks, commanded very
little aV,ention, and prices were somewhat easier.

During last week the imports of live stock from abroad
were composed of 75 cows, and 416 sheep from Nieu Diepe,
together with 6 oxen, 11 cows, and 18 sheep, from Nords-
dycke, nearly,the whole of which have passed into the hands
of the butchers by private sale. At the outports, about 100
beasts and 300 sheep have been landed in good condition.
To-day we had on offer only about 40 beasts and 90 sheep
from abroad, whilst the demand for them was in a very de-
pressed state, and the quotations had a downward tendency.
The numbers of home-fed beasts on sale this morning was
seasonably good, and of full average quality. Prime Scots,
Ilerefords, runts, &c., moved off steadily at full prices, but
all other breeds were a very dull sale, at barely last week's
quotations. From the northern counties we received 800
short-horns ; from the eastern counties 900 Scots, home-
breds, and short-horns; from the western and midland coun-
ties 900 Ilerefords, runts, Devons, &c. • and from other parts
of England 750 of various breeds. The supply of sheep was
lese than last week, yet the Mutton trade, owing to the
heavy arrivals up to Newgate and Leadenhall Markets, was
extremely inactive, at barely late currencies. In calves ex-
ceedingly little was doing, and prices had a downward ten-
dency. The pork trade was dull, but we can notice no al-
teration in value.

An unusually large arrival of Slaughtered Meat has taken
place for our markets during the past week; they having
amounted to 8,000 carcasses from Scotland, and 9,000 ditto
from various part, of England. About 600 of the latter have
been received from Cumberland per railway. These immense
receipts have had a most depressing influence upon the trade,
and the quotations have receded 2d per Sibs without effecting
clearances. The supplies on offer killed in the metropolis
have been seasonably good, and of excellent quality; but we
have had very little foreign meat on show.

About 200 tons of potatoes have arrived in the Pool from
France since this day se'nnight. The vessels bringing the
above supplies had sailed previously to the shipments of
potatoes being prohibited by the French Government ; but
we can expect no more from the other side of the Channel
for many months. Coastwise the receipts have been small,
yet the demand is firm at the late advance in the quotations.
