MARKET NEW S.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.—(MONDAY.)
During last week the arrivals of most kinds of grain
of home produce, including flour, were somewhat on the
increase,coastwise as well as by land carriage and sample.
From Ireland, the receipts of oats were on the increase,
but those from Scotland were trifling. The imports from
abroad consisted of 6,023 quarters of Wheat, 3,481
ditto of Barley, 10,678 ditto of Oats, 671 ditto of Beans,
234 ditto of Peas, 1,417 dittto of Tares, 355 ditto of
Linseed, and 456 ditto of Indian Corn.
Fresh up to-day, a full average quantity of Wheat
came to hand from Kent, but the supply from Essex,
Cambridgeshire, &c., was limited. The number of
samples, many of which were left over Qom
Friday last, being on the increase, and the attend-
ance of both town and country buyers small,
the demand for all kinds of English Wheat ruled ex-
ceedingly heavy, at a decline in the quotations of Mon-
day last of quite 2s per quarter. At the close of business
a clearance had not been effected. The general condition
of the parcels was much better than for borne time past.
The quAntity of foreign Wheat on offer was again large;

and, as the importers were somewhat anxious sellers, the
sales progressed slowly, at m full in value of from is to 2s
per qua' t,:r. For ii.land consumption very little %Ili doing,
and most of the florairg cargoes are being landed in bond.
With most kinds of Barley we were somewhat heavily
supplied, and the trade was in a very depressed state, at
an abatement in value of from is to 2s per quarto..
Superfine Malt supported late currencies, but all other
descriptions were easier to purchase. Rather an exten-
sive supply of oats was brought forward. This had a
very depressing influence upon the trade, and the quo-
Cations gave way 6d per quarter. Beans were a slow
trquiry, but, as the decline was small, we have no decline
to notice in prices. Grey and Maple Peas supported
late rates, but White dualities were 6d per quarter
lower. Indian Corn and Meal commanded scarcely any
alteration. The best English and Foreign Flour ruled
about stationary. Inferior parcels of American were
6d per barrel cheaper.

Full average supplies of foreign stock have arrived in
the port of London during the past week, the general
quality of which has been good, especially as relates to
the Beasts from Hamburgh and Rotterdam. The fol-

Difference ...... 293 more. 144 less. 114 more.
At the outports the arrivals have consisted of about 400
head, chiefly from Hamburgh and Rotterdam. The
show of foreign stock here to-day was, comparatively
speakirg, good, both as respects number and quality.
The demand fot it ruled heavy, and prices had a down-
ward tendenoy. With home-fed Beasts we were some-
what heavily supplied this morning, and a very great
improvement was noticed in their general condition; in-
deed, this was one of the best markets for that descrip-
tion of stock we have had during the whole of the pre-
sent 3 ear, a very small number being beneath
the middle quality. The weather having become
warm, the butchers, whose attendance was tolerably
good, purchased with extreme caution. However, the
beef trade was exceedingly heavy, at a decline in the
quotations obtained on Monday last, of from 2d to, in
some instance, 4d per Bibs,_ and a clearance was not
effected. The highest general price for the best Scots
was 4s 2d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire, we received about 1,500 Scots, short
horns, &c., from the northern, western, and midland
districts; 900 Herefords, runts, Devons, short horns, and
Irish beasts; from other parts of England 300 of various
breeds ; and from Scotland, 220 horned and polled Scots.
For the time of year the supply of Sheep, a large por-
tion of which was out of the Wool, was limited. The
primest old Downs were mostly disposed of; at last
week's currencies, but all other breeds were a slow in-
quiry at barely stationary prices. There were several
couples in the market from Ireland in very bad condi-
tion. Lambs were in moderate request at from 6s to
to 7s per 81bs. In Calves only a moderate business was
doing at barely late rates. The Polk trade was heavy,
but we have no decline to notice in prices.

Very moderate supplies of country-killed meat have
arrived up to these markets in the past week, viz., about
160 carcasses of Beef, 400 ditto of diutton, 120 ditto of
Lamb, 140 ditto of Veal, and 400 ditto of Pork. In
these returns are included the Scotch arrivals. With
meat slaughtered in the metropolis, we have been well
supplied, with the exception of mutton. On the whole,
the demand has been in a very sluggish state, and, in
some instances, the quotations have declined 2d. per 81bs.
About 300 carcasses of foreign meat, killed in London,
have been on offer.

tionary prices ; abut the middling and out of condition
qualities are somewhat easier to purchase. York
