MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

During the last week the arrivals of English Wheat coastwise, as
well as by land carriage, were somewhat on the increase, and of full
average quality. Of Barley the receipts were rather limited; but ,
those of Platt, Oats, Beans, and Peas, were seasonably extensive.
Very few arrivals of any Grain took place from Ireland or Scotland ;
but from abroad the fresh supply of Wheat was large, yet the whole
of it was landed in bond. Fresh up, only a limited quantity of Wheat
of home produce came to hand ; yet on the whole, the stands were
fairly supplied with samples of both Red and White. Still, however,
as the attendance of buyers, most of whom ware very short of
stock, was good, the demand for the finest qualities of both Red and
White was steady, at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, the
prices obtained on this day se'nnight, and at which a fair clearance
of such qualities was effected by the factors. In the middling and
inferior kinds a fair amount of business was doing, and their cur-
rencies were steadily supported. The accounts which have reached
us to-day from our agricultural districts are very favourable as re-
spects the appearance of the winter wheats. The show of free fo-
reign Wheat (arising from the very small quantities which have
lately passed the Customs at the prevailing duty) was extremely
limited, consequently the transactions in it were unimportant ; but
prices were very firm in every instance. In Wheat and most other
articles of Grain under lock:there was rather more doing, at late rates.
The show of Barley being trifling, the best malting parcels com-
manded a very steady demand, and the currencies had an upward
tendency. The other kinds of Barley were tolerably steady at late
rates, and at the close of the market very few parcels remained un-
sold. Having a good supply of Malt at market, that grain moved off
slowly, yet the factors were firm, and ,would not submit to lower
terms. On the whole, the supply of Oats was small, hence the Oat
trade was very steady at prices about equal to those paid on Monday
last. The best Old Beans were quite as dear; in other qualities ex-
ceedingly little was doing, though we cannot call them cheaper. For
Peas we had a 'fair demand at previous figures. There was rather
more doing in Flour, at lull prices. Red Clover Seed steady. In
other kinds of Seeds very few sales were reported.

Owing, we presume, to the near approach of that period when fo-
reign stock will be admitted for consumption free of duty, the imports
from abroad during the past week have been small, viz., 10 Oxen,
46 Cows, and 190 Sheep from Harlingen, and 30 Oxen and Cows, to-
gether with 24 Sheep, from Rotterdam. To-day ♦ery few Beasts or
Sheep imported from abroad were on sale, yet the demand fer them
was in a sluggish state, and their prices were not supported.
By advices received from Holland, we learn that large num-
bers of both Beasts and Sheep are ready for shipment hither.
The supply of home-fed Beasts on offer this morning was very mo-
derate, but of full average quality. The dead market being dull, and
the attendance of buyers limited, the Beef trade was in a very slug-
gish state, and, in some instances, the quotations were in favour of
the buyers—the highest figure for the best Scots being 4s 4d per Blbs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk. Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received
about 1,000 Scots, homebreds and short horns; from
the northern districts, 200 short horns ; from the western and
midland counties, 500 Hereford, Runts, Devons, &c. ; from
other parts of England, 400 of various kinds ; and from Scotland, 140
Scots. The numbers of Sheep were again small, yet the Mutton
trade was dull, at a decline in prices of 2d per Sibs. Lambs moved
off steadily, at from 5s 8d to 7s per Bibs. In Calves very little was
doing, yet last week's prices were supported. The Pork trade was
inactive, at previous figures.

NIMMATE AND
Since this day se'nnight the arrivals of slaughtered Meat up td
these markets, from Scotland and most parts of England, have been
on a moderate scale, but of very superior quality, compared with
those of many former seasons. The supplies killed in the metro-
polis have been by no means extensive, yet the general demand to-
day was inactive, and last week's quotations were with difflculty
supported. Several carcases of foreign Beasts have been again dis-
posed of. _ _
