MARKET NEWS.--(T HIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
The arrivals of English Wheat for our market last week,
though somewhat on the increase, were, comparative)v
speaking, small, but those of Flour were tolerably good. Of
all other articles of home *produce the receipts were very
trifling; while from Ireland and Scotland very little grain
came to hand. Upwards of 24,000 quarters of Wheat, 11,000
quarters of Barley, and 12,000 ditto of Oats, came to hand
from abroad, but the imports of other grain were small.
Fresh up to-day exceedingly little Wheat came to hand
from any quarter, either coastwise or by land car-
riage. The show of samples being very trifling, and the
attendance of both English and foreign buyers unusually
large, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of` home produce
Was very brisk, at an advance in the quotations paid on
Monday last of from EIGHT TO TEN SHILLINGS per quarter,
and at which the whole of the supply was cleared off. Essex
White produced 104 s to LoBs per quarter. Although the
imports of Foreign Wheat have been somewhat extensive,
very few samples were brought forward to-play. The transac •
tions last week were about 14,000 quarters for shipment ti

France. To-day we had a very active inquiry—chiefly for
home consumption—arising from the fact that the

Very little Indian Corn was brought forward, and the sales
concluded were at a rise in value of 5s to 8s per quarter. The
sale fOr all kinds of Barley, the supply of which was small,
was active, at an improvement in prices of from 2s to 3s per
quarter. Although the Malt trade was not to say brisk, that
article was held, and in some instances disposed of, at is to
2s per quarter more money. The supply was moderate.
With Oats we were again scantily supplied, owing to which
the trade was very active, at is to 3s per quarter more
money. We had a very ready sale for Beans at an improve-
ment in prices of from is to 2s per quarter. Peas of all
kinds were Is to 2s per quarter dearer. The Flour trade was
very active, at a rise of 5s per sack and barrel. The best
town qualities sold raadily at 80s per sack.

At the outports about 800 head of various kinds of foreign
stock have been landed in good condition. There were on
sale to-day about 450 Oxen and Cows, 540 Sheep, and 34
Calves from abroad, the whole of which found buyers, at
very full prices. For the time of year, the arrivals of Beasts
from our own grazing districts fresh up this morning were
good as to number, but the quality was by no means first-
rate. The attendance of both town and country buyers
being large, the Beef trade was brisk, at an advance on last
Monday's quotations of quite 2d per 81bs, and at which a
good clearance was effected. A few of the primest Scots
produced 4s 10d per 81bs, but the more-general currency was
4:3 8d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire we receivec about 1,100 Scots, homebreds, and
shorthorns; from the northern, western, and midland coun-
ties 900 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ; from other parts of
England 800 of various breeds; and from Scotland 300
horned and polled Scots. The numbers of Sheep were about
average ones, and of excellent quality. The primest old
Downs were mostly disposed of at fully last week's quota-
tions, the highest in the wool being 6s per Sibs, but all other
breeds moved off slowly, at barely late rates. Downs out of
the wool were selling at 5s 4d per Blbs. We were fairly sup-
plied with Lambs, 260 of which came to hand from the Isle
of Wight, yet the trade was active, at an improvement in
value of 2d per Blbs, the best Down qualities producing
6s 4d per 81bs. The supply of Calves was good, while the
Veal trade was heavy, at barely previous currencies. Pigs
were in good supply, and sluggish inquiry, at late rates.

Notwithstanding the supplies of Meat on sale in these
markets have been seasonably good, a very large amount 01
business has been transacted, at fully, in some instances, in-
deed, a trifle beyond the late improvement in the quotations.
The arrivals from Scotland and all parts of England have
been confined to about 300 carcases of Beef, Mutton, and
Lamb. The show of foreign Meat has been very small.
