CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
For the time of year, a very ruo,"erate supply k
of
English Wheat was received up to our market last we'
coastwise. By land carriage, however, the reci ipts were
somewhat on the increase. Wall other kinds of Grain
of home produce the receipts were on a limited scale.
From Ireland and,Scotland scarcely any Corn came to
hand; but from abroad the imports were on the increase
—they having comprised 31,611 quarters of Wheels
8,349 ditto of Barley, 23,055 ditto of Oats, 490 ditto of
Rye, 2,431 ditto of Beans, 1,883 ditto of Peas, 195 ditto
of Tares, 6,043 ditto of Linseed, 1,550 ditto of Rapeseed'
131 ditto of Mustard Seed, 75 ditto of sundry Seeds,
1,422 barrels and 3,697 sacks of Flour—the latter chieflY
from France. The duty on Foreign Wheat having, s 3
we anticipated on Monday last, receded to 4s Pt'r
quarter, being the lowest point for the year, rather
large quantitizs of that article have been retained
fur home consumption, and most of the cargoes,
as they arrive, will, doubtless, be entered free.
This circumstance had considerable influence upon the
millers and others who attended this day's market;
hence, we have to report a very inactive demand for ell
kinds of English Wheat, at a decline in the prices 01:"
tabled on this day se'nnight, of from Is to 24 per quar-
ter. At the close of business, a total clearance had not
been effected. We may observe that the quantity of
Wheat received fresh up from Essex and Kent was very
moderate, and but middling quality—that from Lincoln-
shire, Cambridgeshire, &c., very small. The show of
samples was beneath an average. With free foreign
Wheat, we were again liberally supplied. Most of the,
samples were of good quality. Selected samples more"
off slowly, at is per quarter less money'
The middling and out of condition sorts were
23 per quarter cheaper. The quantity actually
disposed of was somewhat extensive, chiefly for
inland consumption and shipment coastwise. In Wheet
under lock scarcely a transaction took place, and prices
were almost nominal. Very little English Barley Was
on the market. With foreign samples we were season- .
ably well supplied. A few samples fit for malting sold
slowly, at last week's currencies; but grinding and distil-
ling sorts ruled fully is per quarter lower than on Mon-
day last. As the malting "season" has not yet cony'
menced, the maltsters were by no means large buyers.
Notwithstanding the supply of Malt was compare.
tively small, that article was very slow in
sale; nevertheless, late rates were mostly sup'
ported in the few transactions which took Plilae•
With home-grown Oats our market was scantily sup-
plied, but the show of foreign was good. Selected par-
eels mostly sold at full prices without difficulty. All
other kinds were dull, but we cannot note them cheaper.
In Beans we have very few transactions to notice,
at about last week's prices. The quality of foreign 0*
sale was good, All kinds of Peas were a dull inquiry,
at late rates. Indian Corn and Meal were neglected,
yet the importers were firm. In Flour we have no change
to notice, but the sale for all kinds was slow.

About 3,200 head have arrived at Hull and the other
northern ports, in improved condition, but they
sold at low prices. At Southampton 80 very soPerif
Oxen have been landed from Spain; 29 were sold at We
above port to the local butchers, the remainder of the
cargo being on sale here this morning. With Dutch;
Beasts and Sheep, a large number of which were turnl
out unsold on Friday last, we were extensively suPPlie
to-day, and the demand for them was excessively heavy'
at a fall in the quotat;ons of quite 4d per 81bs. At leas!.
a third of them were not disposed of prior to the close of
business. The general quality of the foreign Sheep and
Calves was somewhat improved, but that of the Beasts
and Lambs was by no means first-rate. In addition to
the importations noticed above, several cargoes of Beasts.
Sheep, and Calves were reported to-day from Rotterdam.
Even the time of year considered, the supply of borne-
fed Beasts fresh up by "drift" and "railway" convey'
once was large, but there was nothing remarkable
amongst it for excellence of quality; indeed the Beasts
generally were light weighers. The very primest Scats
were unusually dull in sale, notwithstanding their num-
ber was very small, and the prices suffered a decline of
2d per 81bs. However, in some few transactions, 4s per
Slbs was realised for them by the salesmen. The mid-
dling and inferior breeds, including the Lest short-horns,
Herefords, runts, and Devons, were dull in the extreme,
at a fall in value of from 2d to 4d per Blbs., compared
with that obtained on this day se'nnight. Withnut ex-
ception, this was the dullest market for Beef we almost
ever remember. The numbers, it will be perceived, con-
siderably exceeded the wants of the butchers, whose of
tendance was small, as most of them had previously stir
plied themselves at Newgate and Leadenhall, where prices
have ruled very low. From the northern grazing tlia'
tricts we received about 1,300 short-horns; from the
eastern, western, and midland counties, 1,400 short"
horns, Devons, runts, Scots, Zsc.; from other parts
England, 750 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 40
Scots. The remainder of the bullock supply was de'
rived from abroad and the neighbourhood of the metre'
polis. The numbers of Sheep were about equal to the.
exhibited on Monday last, which comprised a fair averse
supply. We have to report a very dull sale for
breeds of Sheep, and the prices of all descriptions. if W 0
