MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE.—MONDAY.
The arrivals of all kinds of Grain last week for our
market coastwise were on a very limited scale. By
land carriage the receipts were moderate, but from Ire-
land and Scotland scarcely any supply reached us. The
imports from abroad were good, viz., 14,289
quarters of W heat, 5,907 ditto of Barley,
15,388 ditto of Oats, 10,625 ditto of Beans,
225 ditto of Peas, 235 ditto of Tares, 2,075
ditto of Linseed, 26 ditto of Mustard Seed, and 495
ditto of sundry seeds, including Indian Corn. Fresh
up ;to. day very little Wheat of home produce came to
hand, either from Essex, Kent, or Cambridgeshire,
hence the show of samples of that grain was trifling,
though of fair average quality. Owing to the
Chartist movement, very few factors or buyers, most of
whom were called away at an early houre to serve as
special constables, were in attendance. We have. there-
fore, to report an unusually inactive sale for all kinds of
English Wheat at almost nominal quotations. In foreign
Wheat we have scarcely a transaction to notice, at late
figures. Barley was a dull inquiry, at previous quota-
tions. Scarcely a transaction took place in Malt, at
unaltered figures. The supply was by no means large.
Oats, Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn, as last advised. In
Flour nothing doing. We never recollect so small an
amount of business doing here on any previous Monday.
This accounts for the brevity of the report.

The number of Foreign Beags on offer this morning
were moderately extensive; those of Sheep and Calves
limited. The demand for all kinds was active, at Im-
proved quotations. From our own grazing districts
the arrivals of Beasts fresh up to-day were limited, but
of excellent quality. Although the attendance of both
town and country buyers was :mall, the Beef trade ruled
brisk, at an advance in the quotations paid on Monday
last of from 4d to 6d per 81bs. A few of the best Scots
sold as high as 4s Bd, but the more general top figure
for Beef did not exceed 4s 6d per 81b. A good clearance
was effected. The droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex,
and Cambridgeshire, consisted of about 1,000 Scots and
Short Horns; from the Northern, Western, and Midland
counties, 800 Herefords, Runts, Devons, and Irish beasts;
from other parts of England, 400 of various kinds; and
from Scotland, 210 horned and polled Scots. With
Sheep we were again scantily supplied. The Mutton
trade was very firm, at Friday's advanced rates of 2d per
81bs. The primest old Downs sold peadily at 5s 6d per
Sibs. From the Isle of Wight there were received 85
Sheep and 160 Lambs. The Lamb trade was again
steady, at from 6d to 7d per Blbs. Prime small Calves
sold freely; other qualities of Veal slowly, at last week's
prices. The Pork trade was somewhat inactive, at late
rates.

The arrivals oislaZiitJedKfeaTironScotiand and
various parts of England, since Monday last, have been
moderately good, they having consisted of about 140
carcasses of Beef, 240 ditto of Mutton, 90 ditto of Lamb,
180 ditto of Veal, and 300 ditto of Pork. The supply
of Mutton on offer killed in the metropolis has been
small, that of other kinds of Meat good. Generally
speaking, the trade has ruled somewhat active, and, in
some instances, the quotations have had an upward
tendency. A few baskets of Meat have arrived from
Hamburgh.
