MARKET NE WS.-(T HIS 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 other articles being trifling in the extreme,
even allowing for an importation of 4,450 quarters of Wheat.
The reeeipts of English Wheat fresh up from 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 6s. 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 2,000 quarters, or,
at least, a moiety of the supply of that article brought
forward. The whole of the reported arrivals of foreign
W heat were taken afloat last week for Havre; however, we
had a very limited quantity on offer to-day. For home con-
sumption a moderate 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 ,apply 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. Alth6ugh 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.

At the outports the arrivals hare 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 81bs; 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 81bs, 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 polled Scots. With Sheep we were
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 prime3t 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 Friday's depressed rates. The Pork trade was heavy, yet
prices were mostly supported.

NEWGATE AND LEADENBAIa, •
During the past week the arrivals 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 450 ditto et Pork. The supplies on
offer slaughtered in the metropolis have been seasonably
good, yet the general demand has been tolerably steady, at
but little variation in prices. About 60 carcasses of Foreign
Beef, 80 ditto of Mutton, and 30 ditto of Veal, have ap
peered on sale.

BOROUGH AND SPITAMPIELDS.
The supply of potatoes being unusually small, the amount
of business passing is trifling, at higher rates.
BOROUGH HOP NEARICHT.
Selected parcels of hops in pockets are in steady request at
fully last week's quotations. In all other kinds, next to
nothing is doing, with a full average supply on offer,

V/001..
About 1,000 bales of wool have been imported since this
day se'ennight. In the private contract market—noteith-
standing the supplies on offer are by ne means extensive--a
very limited business is doing, yet we have no alteration to
notice in the quotations.

TAXMOW.
Although the stocks of TaEow continue stnall, the demandboth ern the spot and fir forward delivery, is heavy, at the
late decline in the quotations. Town Tallow is in good supply,
and somewhat lower.

MONEY arid COM MERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QZ 7ARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton in th a Liverpool market on Satur-
day were about 4,000 bale: the market being quieter.
A larger quantity was of - offer, and prices were more in
favour of buyers. Surat, 300 bales, sold at 4d to sd;
50 bales Egyptian realised 7-id. to 8d; and the rest was
American, at 6-id. to lid. per lb. Railway Shares were
dull, and generally drooping
A most important feature has prevailed in the Cora-
market this morning. Th(-3 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 6i. per quarter in advance of
the rates of last Monday ; Oats are ls. to 2s. per
quarter ; and Barley, 2s. pe r quarter dearer. There
was in truth a positive rush to, purchase from the nio-
ment the market opened until all was cleared off. Such
an active and brisk demand, while it lasted, has not been
seen fur very many years past. For a season at least
this extraordinary advance must;-have an influence on the
operations of the Court of DirecZ ors of the Bank of Eng-
land.

The steamer which leaves Li‘rf.rpool to-morrow for the
United States takes out some a mount of specie again,
but there is reason to believe ths ,t as Messrs. Rothschild
and one or two other firms have: received a large amount
in bullion from the continent, av ithia the last few day-,
there has been application made, to them by exporters of
coin, rather than to the Bank I»' England. The latter,
it is stated, has declined to laity the specie imported
by the firms alluded to at a higher price than
usual, and this may inducts them to ship it to
America and foreign parts .on their own account.
Under any circumstances the r,:ceipt 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 wirhdrawn 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 t his morning, and there
has been rather an increased dens nd for Stock. Consols
for transfer to-morrow have realis 86f to 87, and for
May 864 to 87i. The Reduced ra'hree per Csnt. An-
