OORN EXCHANGE.
Most of the country markets heid on Saturday were
moderately supplied with wheat, for which the demand
ruled heavy, at drooping prices. Barley was very dull, on
lower terms. Oats, beans, peas, and flour were all rather
in favour of buyers.
The continental markets oontinue heavy, and prices con-
tinue to give way. The supplies of wheat have rather in-
creased. Large quantities of grain continue to be shipped
to Europe from the United States.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of home produce
were rather on the increase. From abroad we received
43,551 qrs of wheat, 14,762 barley, 25,611 oats, 2,321
beans, 1,170 peas, 900 tares, 12,070 linseed, 870 rapeseed,
967 sacks, and 9,879 barrels of flour.
The supply of English wheat received fresh up to our
market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was only
moderate ; lent there was a slight improvement in the
general condition of the samples. Owing to the large im-
ports from abroad, millers purchased English qualities
with great caution, and the trade was dull in the extreme,
at a decline iu the quotations realised on Monday last of
frum 4s. to ss. per quarter. At that amount of depression
very little progress was made in sales.
There was a very large quantity of foreign wheat in the
market, and some anxiety was manifested by the impor-
ters to sell, owing to high rates of discount. A few tran-
sactions took place, at 2s per quarter less money, and the
trade ruled exceedingly dull.

In floating cargoes of wheat no sales took place.
The supply of barley was large, and the trade ruled at is
to 2s per quarter less money.
Malt sold slowly at barely late rates.
There was an immense show of Irish and foreign
oats, consequently the trade was dull. Fine old corn
realised about previous rates, but new qualities were is
to 2s per quarter cheaper.
Beans were very dull, and 3s to 4s per quarter cheaper
than on Monday last.
In peas very little was doing, at 2s per quarter less money.
We had a dull sale for flour, and prices were drooping.

The general quality of the foreign beasts at hand since
this day se'nnight has been tolerably good. The sheep
have come to hand in fair condition, and the calves con-
tinue of excellent quality.
The supplies of foreign stock in to-day's market were but
moderate.

From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up this morning were tolerably good as to number,
but their general quality was by no means firstrrate. For
the best Scots and short horns we had a fair demand, at
last Monday's quotations, the top figure for the former
breed being 4s 10d per 81bs ; otherwise the beef trade ruled
heavy, and prices were a shade lower.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire amounted to 2,020 short horns ; from
other parts of England, 400 of various breeds; from Scot-
land, 130 Scots, and from Ireland, 700 oxen.
We had a better show of English sheep, bat that of
Irish and foreign was comparatively small. The best
Downs and half-brads were in fair request, at full prices ;
but other kinds of sheep moved off heavily at a decline in
value of 2d per 81bs.
There was only a moderate number of calves in the mar-
ket; nevertheless, the veal trade ruled rather heavy, at
Friday's decline in value. The highest price was lis, per
Blbs.

Pig' I were in moderate supply and fair request, at lasi
Trask's cline ncy.
