MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

Compared with those of many previous weeks, the
arrivals of English Wheat up to our market since Mon-
day last have been somewhat extensive, but of very mid-
dling quality, especially as relates to the samples from
Essex and Kent. Those of Spring Corn, as well as
Flour, were small, the time of year considered. Scarcely
any grain came to hand either from Ireland or Scotland.
Very liberal supplies came fresh to hand from abroad,
viz., 45,199 quarters of Wheat, 13,517 ditto of Barley,
27,414 ditto of Oats, 2,977 ditto of Rye, 1,381 ditto of
Beans, 6,770 ditto of Peas, 613 ditto of Tares, 5,450
ditto of Linseed, 575 ditto of Rapeseed, 5 ditto of
Brann, 107 ditto of Mustard Seed, 1,968 ditto of sundry
seeds, including ,about 900 quarters of Indian
Corn ; 1,500 barrels and 3,938 sacks of Flour, chiefly
from New York and Havre, and of good average quality.
The quantity of Wheat received fresh up this morning,
coastwise and by land :carriage, from Kent and Cam-
bridgeshire, was small ; that from Essex somewhat on
the increase. Nearly the whole of the samples were con-
siderably out of condition, and, consequently, scarcely
fit for the millers' purposes, without a large admixture
of foreign. Comparatively speaking, the stands were
fairly supplied with samples of both red and white. Al-
though the attendance of buyers were tolerably good,
the demand for all kinds of Wheat of Home produce,
owing to the largo imports from abroad, and the pressure
of fine qualities on the market, was in a very inactive
state, at a decline in the quotations paid on Monday last
of 2s per quarter, and at which a clearance was not effected.
The supply of English Barley was somewhat on the in-
crease—that of Foreign but moderate, considering the
late largo importations. Malting qualities moved off
steadily, at very full prices; while the value of Grinding
and Distilling sorts was well supported. There was a
decided improvement in the demand for nearly all kinds
of Malt, the show of which was rather limited, and
prices, both on the spot and for delivery, were well sup-
ported. The quantity of Oats on show was by
no means heavy, yet it proved quite equal to the
wants of the dealers. Fine dry samples moved
off steadily, at fully last week's quotations. The
heated parcels were a dull inquiry, and some-
what easier to purchase. For Beans the supply
of which was tolerably good, we had a slow in-
quiry; yet last week's prices were mostly supported.
White Peas were dull, and from Is to 2s per quarter
lower. The value of other kinds had a downward ten-
dency. Indian Corn and Meal were dull, but not
cheaper. The best parcels of Flour supported late
rates; but country marks were considered a trifle lower,

At the northern outports about 1,000 head of stock
have come to hand, chiefly from Holland, and in mid-
dling condition. The heavy losses lately sustained by
those who have forwarded French Beasts hither for sale,
bare operated against further importations, with the
price of the best Beef at a fraction over 4s per 8113 s.
Until, therefore, a decided rise takes place in the quota-
tions here, we must expect small supplies of Beasts from
France. The " season" is now nearly over for Spanish
and Portuguese stock. No imports have taken place
clueing the week; and we understand that some of the
buyers have already closed their accounts. The spew
lation, notwithstanding that prices rule very low is
Spain, have not turned out profitable ones. The total
imports of foreign stock into the United Kingdoms
during the first eight months of the past and present
year, were as under:—

1847. 1848.
Oxen
Cows
Calves
Sheep 74,598
Lambs 2,733
Pigs 323

The number of foreign Beasts on offer in to. day's VW:
ket, amongst which were 15 Oxen from France and.2°,
Cows from Denmark, was tolerably goed, the time 0!.
year considered, but of very middling quality. That or
Sheep and Calves was comparatively small, although
two cargoes reached the river this morning from Sol'
land. For all breeds the demand was in a very sluggish
state, and to effect sales lower rates were submitted s°
by the importers. There was a considerable increase ie
the supply of Beasts on sale, but its quality was by 0,
means first-rate. The attendance of both town an,
country buyers was on the increase; yet, as the bullock
supply exceeded their wants, and the weather was un.
favourable to slaughtering, the Beef trade was in •
sluggish state, at, in most instances, a decline in the
quotations of 2d per 81bs, and at which a total olearahq
was not effected. A few very superior Scots produced
4s to 4s 2d per 81bs; but the more general top quotation
for Beef did not exceed 4s per 81bs. From Lincolnshire,
Leicestershire, and our other northern grazing districts,
we received about 1,400 short-horns; from the eastern
counties, 350 Scots and short•horns; from the western
and midland counties, 1,000 Herefords, runts, Devon*
&c.; from other parts of England, 360 of various breeds;
and from Scotland, 60 horned and polled Scots. The
remainder of the supply was derived from abroad 601
the neighbourhood of London. Compared with that
exkibited on this day se'naight, the supply of Sheep vro
large; indeed it was one of the best supplies we WI
witnessed for some time past. The very primes;ol
Downs were mostly disposed of at last week's price,'
All other breeds were a slow sale, and somewhat lower
to purchase. The demand for Veal was steady, at Fri'
day's advance in the quotations. The primest Coif°
sold at 4s 4d to 4s 6d per Blbs. There was a slight 0'
provernent in the demand for Pigs. In prices, however,
we have no improvement to notice. The supply 01
moderately good.

These markets have been fairly supplied with country'
killed meat since Monday last, the arrivals bola
amounted to 220 carcasses of Beef, 400 ditto of MutS°l3;
300 ditto of Veal, and 700 ditto of Pork. The supPlie
on offer killed in the metropolis have not been to 81
extensive. Veal has commanded a steady sale, at tc
advance in the quotations of quite 2d per Blbs. 173°'
other kinds of meat a steady business has been tranit;
acted at late currencies. About 500 carcasses of foreig
meat have been disposed of.
