CORN-EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
The arrivals of all kinds of grain, as well as flour,
for our market last week were on a very limited scale,
though of somewhat improved quality. From Ireland
and Scotland, only about 5,000 quarters of Oats were
received. The imports from abroad consisted of 7,690
quarters of Wheat, 1,229 ditto of Barley, 2,173 ditto
ofOats, 1,150 ditto of Rye, 5,201 ditto of Beans, 323
ditto of Tares, 2,950 ditto of Linseed, 665 ditto of
sundry seeds, 770 barrels and 345 sacks of Flour.
Had it not been for the prevailing easterly winds, the
importations would have been on a more liberal
scale. Fresh-up to-day the receipts of Wheat of
home-produce were very limited, particularly from
Essex and Cambridgeshire. Notwithstanding the
show of samples of both Red and White was very small,
the demand for all kinds of English Wheat was heavy
at a decline in the quotations of Monday last of fully
2s. per quarter. At the close of business a clearance
had not been effected, and the market closed heavily.
The show of Foreign Wheat was again somewhat exten-
sive. As the millers purchased with extreme caution,
and there were very few orders on the market from the
country, he trade was in a very depressed state, and,
prices declined from is to 2s per quarter, no progress
being made in sales. Floating cargoes weremuchneglected.

Although the quantity of Batley on show was small,
that article, from the malting season having been
brought to a close, and the distillers and others being
fairly in stock, was a slow sale ; yet last week's prices
were fairly supported. We have again to notice a very
inactive iequiry for all kinds of Malt. In pricegi how
ever, no change took place. The quantity of Oats on
sale being by RO means adequate to meet the wants of
the rha!ers, the Oat trade Has somewhat active, at an ad-
vance in the currencies paid on this day se'nnight of
from 6d to is per quarter. Beans were in moderate re-
quest, at about last week's currency. The supply of
English was small, that of Foreign tolerably extensive.
Very few Peas were on offer. All kinds were firm, at
very full prices. Indian Corn and Meal were held at
late rates. Flour was a slow inquiry. but not cheaper.

At Hnll, and the various other outports, about 550 head
of each kind of stock have been landed in fair average
condition, chiefly from Hamburgh and Rotterdam. The
supply of foreign stock on offer, to-day, was somewhat
extensive, and of fair average quality, especially as re-
gards that of the Beasts and Calves. All breeds met a
very dull inquiry, at drooping currencies. With home-
fed Beasts we were heavily supplied, even the time of
year considered, while their quality was exceedingly
good. Although the attendance of both town and
country buyers was large, the Beef trade, owing to the
large number of Beasts on offer, and the prevail-

NZIVITGATNI AND LEADENBALL,

During la.,t week, the arrivals of country killed meat
for these markets were on a very limited scale. From
Hamburgh 10 baskets came to hand. The supplies on
offer slaughtered in London have been comparatively
small, if we except those of Beef and Veal. Beef has
met a very slow inquiry, at a decline in the quotations
of from 2d to, in some instances, 4d per Sibs. Other.
wise the demand has rated steady at very full prices.
Nearly 600 carcasses of foreign meat, killed in London,
have been disposed.

BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.
The imports of Potatoes last week were confined to
only 200 tons from Antwerp. Coastwise, arid by land
carriage, the arrivals have been seasonably good. Prime
qualities have moved off steadily, at extreme rates; but
other parcels are a dull inquiry.
