MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

The arrivals of Wheat, Barley, Malt, Beans, Peas, and
Flour up to our market last week, coastwise, were on a
very limited scale ; but those of Oats were somewhat on
the increase. From Ireland and Scotland they were
mostly confined to a few cargoes of Oats. From abroad
the importations were by no means heavy—viz., 6,858
Es of What, 110 ditto of Barley, 1,263 ditto of Oats,
4,000 ditto of Beans, 270 ditto of Peas, 7,103 ditto of
Linseed, 60 ditto of Rapeseed, 310 ditto of Indian Corn,
697 sacks and 155 barrels of Fleur. From Essex,
Kent, Cambridgeshire, &c., a very scanty supply of
Wheat of home produce was received up to our market
today by water carriage, and that per railway was
very small. Notwithstanding the show of samples of
both red and white was scanty, and the attendance of
buyers moderate, the demand was far from active. The
very finest parcels of both red and white were mostly
disposed of at prices fully equal to those paid on Mon-
day last; but the middling and inferior kinds were
heavy, at in some instances a reduction in the quota-
tions of is per quarter. 3lost of the Wheats were
greatly out of condition. The quantity of foreign
Wheat on offer was not very large. Really fine
samples moved off steadily, at late rates. In all
other qualities exceedingly little business was
transacted, at almost nominal currencies. Al-
though the supply of Barley was small, it proved
quite adequate to meet the wants of the trade, who pur-
chased with extreme caution, at about last week's
figures. In Malt very few sales were concluded. The
trade must be considered very dull, at barely stationary
prices. A few ships have arrived from Ireland, since
Saturday, laden with oats, yet the supply of that article
was by no means large. Only the best parcels com-
manded any attention—the inferior kinds being a
mere drug. In prices we have no change to notice.
Beans commanded scarcely any attention, and late rates
were not maintained for inferior foreign. In Peas next
to nothing was doing. Indian Corn, Meal, and Rye
Flour were easier to purchase. Fine Flour supported
previous rates, but the secondary sorts were somewhat
cheaper.

Notwithstanding the weather has become mild for the
season, the Rotterdam steamers have not yet re-com-
menced running; hence, the imports of live stock into
London last week were small, viz., about 40 Beasts, 200
Sheep, and 20 Calves, chiefly from Noordwyk and Sche
♦enengen. At hull, &c., scarcely any arrivals have
taken place; but we understand that large supplies
are ready in Holland- for shipment to our
markets. Their quality is represented as good.
One or two vessels having arrived since Saturday,
the number of foreign stock in the market this morning
were on the increase, viz. about 180 Beasts, 300 Sheep,
and 20 Calves. The Oxen and Cows met a very dull
inquiry, on somewhat easier terms, but the Sheep and
Calves produced rather more money,
From those quarters whence the principal portion of
Our Bullock supplies are usually derived at this
period of the year, the arrivals of Beasts fresh
up to-day were seasonably good, and of full average
quality. Although the attendance of buyers was large,
the Beef trade, owing to the unfavourable state of
the weather, for slaughtering, was in a very sluggish
state, at a decline in the quotation paid on this day
ae'nnight of quite 2d per 81b. The highest figure for the
best Soots being 4s 6d per 81b, and a total clearance was
not effected. The receipts from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex,
and Cambridgeshire comprised about 1,000 Scots and
short horns; from the western and midland counties,
1,200 Herefords, runts, Devons, Irish beasts, &c.; from
other parts of England, 700 of various breeds; and from
Scotland, 210 horned and polled. Scots. With Sheep we
were very scantily supplied; indeed, the supply of that
description of stock appears to be falling
off every week. As might be expected
the Mutton trade was brisk, and the prices advanced
from 2d to, in some instances, 4d per 81bs. A clearance
was effected at an early hour. Theiprimest old Downs
produced 5s 6d per 81bs. -CitiveS were in short supply,
and steady request at full.prices. Iti_.Vigs only a mode-
rate busi❑ess was doing, yet last week's currencies were
supported.

The supplies of country-killed Meat received up to
these markets during the past week, by railway, have
been moderately good, and those .on offer slaughtered in
the metropolis may be considered seasonably extensive,
with the exception of those of Mutton. Generally speak-
ing, the demand has been far from active ; nevertheless,
no change of moment has taken place in the quotations.
Scarcely any foreign Meat has been on show.
