MARKET NEWS.--(PHIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHAiN GE-MOND AY,

There wash ss activity in the demand for all kinds of
English Wheat in the leading c,:untrymarkets held
.on-Sat-
.
urday. In prices, however, no material change took place.
Fins foreign qualities were quite as dear, but low and
middling kinds sold heavily. Grinding and distilling
Barley commanded a fair amount of attention, but Malt
was very inactive. Oats sold readily at higher rates..
In other articleg no ot;ange.took4.-/lace..
A.dviees from New Ycirk to .the 12th inst. state that
Flour we still falling in value. Fine • Wheats were
tolerably firm. In the Baltic market the trade was con-
tinued in a very inactive state. The sale -for Flour, in
most of the French ports, has continued steady.
The receipts of English produce up to our market last
week were very moderate. From abroad we received
4,567 quarters of Wheat, 2,961 Barley, 16,322 Oats,
1,184 Beans, 10 Tares, 4,579 Linseed, 4,428 Rapeseed,
112 'sundry seeds, 8,645 sacks and 3,529 barrels of
Flour.
•The quantity of Wheat received fresh np to this
morning's market. from Essex was very moderate; whilst
the receipts from likit and Cambridgeshire were small, ,
but of full average quality. By land carriage 'and sum-.
ple only a limited supply Ranched us; herce, the.
stands were comparatively bare of samples. Notwith-
standing that the att(ndacce of both town and country
millers was far horn extensive, the demand for all kinds,
of Wheat of home produce ruled steady, at prices'quite.
equal to those obtained on Aloaday last, and at which a
clearance was readily effected. Most of the buyers are
still unusually abort of stock. Tee offers from the east
coast were less nureercus. The business doing for for-
ward delivery was trifling.
With fresh foreign Wheat we were very scantily sup-
plied, but the show of granaried qualities was tolerably'`
extensive. Fine dry samples moved off steadily, at full
rates of currency. In the middling and inferior. kinde,,.
very little was doing; nevertheless, importers were to-
lerably firm. In floating carp es next to nothing doing.
Offers from Dentsic were numerous.
Scarcely any English Barley was brought forward, r
and the show of foreign was smaller than for many
weeks past. A good demand existed for grinding and
distilling sorts, at full prices; but Malting kinds meeat
slow inquiry.
Malt, though in full avenge supply, moved off
slowly, but we have no change to notice in its value.
The total supply of Oats being small, the Oat trade
ruled firm, and in some instances 6d per quarter more
money was obtained for fine parcels.
Beans were in moderate inquiry, at fully the late im-
provement in value. The quantity offering was trifling..
We had a fair sale for Peas, at last week's currency.
Indian Corn was almost nominal.
The show of foreign Flour was good. On the whole
the demand was inactive, but no cesuge took place in -
prices.

About 800 head were lauded at the various out-ports.
By sea, from inland, we received thirty-eight Pigs. The
show of Foreign Stuck in to-day's market was very
moderate; but that of Beasts from our own grazing
districts was seasonably good as to numbers, and of lull
average quality. Notwithstanding that the Beef trade,
arising from an increased attendance of buyers, was
steady, no improvement took place in ;he quotations.
The extreme value of the Lest Sews was 3s 61 per Blbs,
and a total clearance was with difficulty effected. From
Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we re-
ceived about 2,000 Shutt Horns, flerelords, Scots, &c.;
from other parts of England, 400 Hereloids, Short
Horns, Cows, &c.; and from Scot:bind—chit fly by rail-
way-260 horned and Pulled Scots. The remainder
of the supply was chitily drawn from abroad
and the neighbourhood of the metropolis.
Although the supply of Sheep was larger than thht
exhibited on Miinday last, that description of stock
moved off steadily at unaltered currencies. The best
old Downs realised 3s 10d to 4s per 81bs. For Lambs
the demand was by no means active. In their value we
have little or no change to report, the highest figure
being 5s 8d per 81bs. From the Isle of Wight, 396 came
fresh to hand. Calves, the supply of which was mo-
derate, moved off slowly, at last week's prices. We had
scarcely any inquiry for Pigs, the value of which was
almost nominal.

NMIRTGATEI AND MEADENNALL.
Since our last report. these markets have b, en toler-
ably well supplied with ei•ch kind of meat, the time of
year considered. Owing to the return of warm weather,
butchers generally have purchased with much caution;
hence the demand has ruled inactive, at barely sta-
tionary prices. About 500 carcases of foreign meat
have appeared on sale.

The supply of home-grown Potatoes, coastwise and
by land carriage, being considerably in excess of the
demand, prices have fallen since Monday last fully lOs
per ton, and great difficulty, owing to the low value of
bread, is now experienced in effecting sales. Last week's
imports were 130 tons, and 255 bags from Rotterdam.
