MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

There was only a moderate demand for wheat in the
leading country markets held on Saturday. In prices,
however, very little change took place. Barley, though in
short supply, moved off heavily, at drooping currencies.
Oats, beans, peas, and flour ruled about stationary.

No material change has taken place in the value of
grain in the Continental markets. Full average supplies
of grain and flour continue on sale in America.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last
week, were very moderate. From abroad, we received
7,732 quarters of wheat, 3,747 barley, 25,692 oats, 1,830
beans, 4 peas, 400 linseed, 3,560 rapeseed, 70 sundry seeds,
1,435 saeks and 1,858 barrels of flour.

The arrivals of English wheat up to our market to-day,
coastwise and by land carriage, were very moderate, and
the show of samples was by no means extensive. As the
attendance of both town and country millers was rather
limited, the amount of business done in wheat of home
produce was small. However, though the trade was de-
cidedly inactive, no anxiety was shown on the past of
factors to sell on lower terms. Prices, therefore, ruled
about the same as on Monday last.

There was a moderate supply of foreign wheat in the
market. Fine heavy samples were held at prices fully
equal to those realised on this dayse'nnight, but the de-
mand for them was inactive. Inferior kinds moved off
heavily, at barely previous rates. Floating cargoes of
grain were firm, at fully last week's prices. The malting
season being now over, malting barley was almost nominal
in price. Grinding and distilling sorts were dull, but no
material change took place in the quotations.
Malt sold to a fair extent, at last week's prices.
We were rather heavily supplied with oats, and the de-
mand for all kinds ruled very inactive, at last Monday's
decline in value.

Beans and peas were in fair supply, and sluggish request,
on former terms. _

We had a slow sale for flour, at last week's prices.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Very moderate supplies of foreign stock were received
into London last week—the total importation being only
272 head. In the corresponding week in 1855 we received
2,031; in 1854, 893 ; in 1853, 3,401; in 1852, 1,995 ; in
1851, 2,893 ; and in 1850, 1,376 head.

The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was very
limited for the time of year, and in but middling condi-
tion.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning were tolerably good, and the general
weight and condition of most breeds were good. Indeed
very few inferior animals were brought forward. Although
the attendance of buyers was tolerably extensive, the beef
trade ruled heavy, and prices were 2d per 81bs lower than
on Monday last. The top figure for Scots was 4s 6d per
81bs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire amounted to 2,500 Scots and shorthorns ; from
other parts of England 303 of various breeds ; from Scot-
land 650 Scots, and from Ireland, via Liverpool, 130 oxen.
Notwithstanding that the show of sheep was by no means
so extensive, the mutton trade was in a depressed state,
and the quotations were from 4d to 6d per 81bs lower than
on this day se'ennight. The best old Downs, in the wool,
sold at 5s 2d—out of the wool, 4s 8d per 81bs. About t we-
thirds of the sheep were out of the wool.
We were fairly supplied with lambs, which met a dull
trade, at, compared with Monday last, a fall in value of
4d per Slbs. About 600 lambs reached us from the Isle of
Wight.
The supply of calves was limited, yet the veal trade was
heavy, and prices were 4d per Blbs lower than on this day
week. The best calves realist* 5s 4d per Blbs.
Pigs were in moderate supply and heavy request, at
barely stationary prices.
