CORN EXCHANGE.

The amount of business doing in wheat in most of the
country markets held on Saturday was but moderate. In
prices, however, no material change took place. Barley
mirranail4ll- Most other article■
ruled about stationary.
Wheat is still selling at a comparatively high range in
nearly the whole of the continental markets. From
America the shipments of produce to this country continue
on a liberal scale.

Very moderate supplies of English grail were received
up to our markets last week. The imports from abroad
were 26,899 quarters of wheat, 14,175 barley, 6,301 oats,
730 peas, 1,481 linseed, 35 rapeseed, 70 mustard seed,
2,250 sundry seeds, and 11,748 barrels of flour.
The quantity of wheat received fresh up to oar market
to-day, both from Essex and Kent, was again very mode-
rate, and the condition of most of the samples was compa-
ratively inferior. The attendance of millers was not to
say extensive, yet factors were very firm, and the whole of
the best-conditioned wheats were taken off at prices fully
equal to those realised on Monday last. Middling and in-
ferior parcels were less active ; nevertheless the quotations
were supported, with the exception of a few low Kentish
samples, which changed hands on rather lower terms.
There was a slight increase in the show of foreign wheat,
yet there was no disposition shown on the part of importers
to give way. The actual sales were not extensive, yet late
rates were well supported. Floating cargoes sold at full
quotations.
The supply of English barley was limited—of foreign,
good. Fine samples sold steadily at full quotations. Most
other kinds realised previous rates.
Malt was in better request than on Monday last and
prices were well supported.
Very fine oats were in the market. Nearly all kinds
sold steadily and late rates were well supported.
The few beans on offer changed hands at full quotations.
Peas ruled firm. In prices we have no alteration to
report.'
There was a fair business doing in tour at folly late
rates.

The accounts from most parts of the country, in refer-
ence to the turnip crop, continue favourable. As the
second cut of hay has proved extensive the supply of food
for winter use is unusually large.
There was an extensive show of foreign beasts and sheep
in to-day's market, and their general quality was rather
improved.
For the time of year we received a full average number
of beasts fresh up from our own grating districts, and their
general condition exhibited signs of improvement. As the
supply was considerably in excess of the wants of the
butchers the beef trade was exceedingly depressed, at a
decline in the quotations realised on Monday last of from
2d to td per 81bs. The highest figure for Scots was 4s 8d
per gibs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,600 short horns ; from other parts of
England 500 of various breeds ; from Ireland 700 oxen ;
.and from Scotland 40 Scots.
Notwithstanding that the show of sheep was by no
means extensive the mutton trade ruled heavy, and prices
generally were 2d per 81bs lower than on this day se'nnight.
The best old Downs sold at 5s per 81bs. Most breeds came
to hand in but middling condition. From Ireland we
received 800 sheep.
I With calves we were scantily supplied, yet the veal trade
ruled heavy at Friday's decline in value of 2d per Sibs.
' The top figure was 4s 8d per 8 lbs.
There was a fair demand for pigs, and prices had an up
ward tendency.
