MARKET NEWS -(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
During the past week up to Saturday evening the arrivals of Eng-
lish Wheat were on a very moderate scale and of middling quality.
Ot Barley, Malt, Beans, Peas, and Flour of home produce, the re-
ceipts were rather limited, but those of Oats were seasonably larger.
From Scotland very little grain of any description came to hand, but
from Ireland upwards of 17,000 quarters of Oats were received. The
Import of Foreign Wheat was large, viz., 27,000 quarters, but that of
most other articles was small. Coastwise, as well as by land car-
riage and sample, the supply of Wheat fresh up this morning was
again dull, consequently the stands were by no means heavily filled
with samples. The attendance of both town and country buyers was
moderately extensive, however the finest qualities of both Red and
White Wheat moved off freely at fully, but at no-
thing quotable, beyond the prices obtained on this day
sennight. In the middling and inferior kinds only a
limited business was doing, and the quutations were with difficulty
supported. At the close of the market a total clearance of the
samples had not been effected. From most quarters the accounts
which have come to hand to-day, from this morning's post, respect-
ing the appearance of the growing wheat, are satisfactory. Notwith-
standing the increased arrivals of foreign wheat last week, the show
of fine samples of that article to-day was very small. Although
the amount of business actually transacted in it was limited, last
week's prices were supported in every instance. Several parcels of
foreign Wheat, in bulk,' were on offer. Several , speculators
being in the market, the importers asked most extrava-
gantly high prices for that article, and which entitely
prevented the transaction of any business of magnitude.
The show of Barley, but • English and foreign, being small, and many
of the large brewers short of stock, the finest malting parcels com-
manded a brisk sale, and the quotations were considered the turn
higher. In grinding and distilling sorts a fair average amount of
business was doing at full prices. Superfine White Malt, the supply
of which was rather limited, commanded a firm inquiry at very full
currencies. In the middling and inferior kinds comparatively lithe
was doing, at late rates. Although the number of Oat samples was
on the increase, that description of grain, arising from the limited
quantities held by the principal. dealers, was again firm, and last
week's currencies were firmly supported in every instance. The
show of Beans was moderate ; for the best kinds we had a fair de-
mand at full prices, but other qualities hung on hand. Peas, espe-
cially white, moved off steadily at our quotations. The flour trade
was steady, and prices were steadily maintained.

The importations of live stock

m abroad into the port of London

since Monday last have been small; viz., 70 Beasts and 80 Sheep
from Rotterdam, in, comparatively speaking, middling condition. At
Hull, the arrivals ftom Holland have comprised 48 Beasts and 70
Sheep, of fair average quality. In to• day's market we had on sale
80 Beasts and 70 Sheep derived from the Continent, and which met
a verb• sluggish demand, at barely last week's quotations. Until the
new tariff comes into operation—and which will admit foreign stock
free of duty—very limited supplies can be expected, but from that
period they will no doubt be considerably on the increase. Since
the passing of the new tariff the following supplies of foreign stock
Lave been imported : _ _ _
