MARKET NEWS.-;THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHAN GE-MONDAY.

During the week ending on Saturday evening, the arrivals
of English Wheat up to our market were on a very limited
scale, and for the most part of middling quality. Of English
Barley, the receipts were adequately extensive; but the fresh
supply of all other grain of home produce was unusually
small. The imports of Foreign Wheat were seasonably large ;
but scarcely any supplies of other articles came to hand from
either the Continent or Ireland. An extremely scanty arri-
val of Wheat was reported fresh-up to-day, from Essex,
Kent, and Cambridgeshire ; coastwise as well as by land-car-
riage, it scarcely amounting to 600 quarters, consequently
the stands were very bare of. samples. Still, how-
ever, as the attendance of buyers was very small,
and as much uncertainty still exists as to the nature
of the measures affecting the import of foreign grain into this
country to be proposed by Sir Robert Peel in the House of
Commons to-morrow evening, the demand for English
Wheat was unusually inactive, and prices remained nominally
as on this day se'nnight. Although we can make ne altera-
tion in our general currency of Wheat, it was quite evident,
that had sales been forced by the factors, rather lower rates
must have been submitted to. Of free foreign Wheat the
show was small, but there was an increased number
of parcels under lock in the market. In any kind
scarcely a transaction took place, and the currencies
must be called about stationary. The stocks in bond are now
on the increase. There was a fair average quantity of Barley,
both English and foreign, on show. The best malting quali-
ties commanded fully last Monday's prices, but grinding and
distilling sorts were a mere drug, though they cannot be
quoted cheaper. At the close of business a large portion of
the two latter descriptions remained unsold. The supply of
Malt was not large, yet fully equal to the wants of the buyers.
The trade with that article was in a very sluggish state,
at barely, but at nothing quotable beneath, previous figures.
Scarcely a single parcel of Oats having reached us from Ire-
land during the week the business transacted in that article
was necessarily small. In fact the trade was heavy at late
rates. Beans. the supply of which was rather limited,
moved off heavily ; while Peas were a dull inquiry, and in
some instances the turn lower. In Flour no positive altera-
tion can be noticed, yet most parties are looking forward to
lower prices.

SMXTIMPIE T.D.

The past week's importations of foreign stock for this
market consisted of two Oxen, 28 Cows, and 59 Sheep from
Schedam ; 13 Oxen, 2 Bulls and 9 Cows from Rotterdam ;
133 Cows, 9 Oxen, and 420 Sheep from Harlingen. To-day
upwards f 200 Oxen and Cows, and 400 Sheep were landed
from the above port and brought forward for sale. The num-
ber of foreign Beasts therefore, on offer, was 512; and of
Sheep, 600, in, generally speaking, very middling condition,
compared with the arrivals in some previous weeks. The
former found buyers, at from 141 to 201; the latter 36s to 47s
per head. At the outports, very few Beasts or Sheep, owing,
we presume, to the comparatively high rates ruling
here—have been imported since our last. From
our own grazing districts the receipts of Beasts were
on a very limited scale, though of fair average quality. The
large number of foreign Busts on sale, however, had a de-
pressing influence upon the Beef trade, which must be con-
sidered heavy, at a decline in the quotations obtained on
Monday last of 2d per 81bs; the highest figure for the best
Scots not exceeding 4s 2d per 81bs, and a clearance was with
difficulty effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire, we received about 500 Scots, homebred:, and
short. horns ; from the northern districts, 500 short-horns ;
from the western and midland counties 600 Herefords, runts,
Devons, &c. ; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ;
from Ireland 80 Beasts, and from Scotland 60 Scots—the re-
mainder of the Bullock supply being chiefly derived from
abroad and the neighbourhood of the metropolis. The num-
bers of Sheep were very small. All breeds commanded a
brisk demand, at an advance in the prices of fully 2d per
81bs. There were about 300 shorn Sheep on sale. The few
Lambs in the market sold readily, at 7s per Blbs for the
primest qualities. In Calves a steady business was doing, at
full prices; while Pigs were quite as dear as last week.
