MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE —(MONDAY.)
Very little change took place in the value of either Eng-
pah or foreign Wheat in the large consuming markets held in
the provincial districts on Saturday, but the amount of busi-
,s doing was comparatively small, owing to the large sup-
Plias of foreign Flour on offer at the leading outports. Grind-
ing and distilling Barley sold at full prices, but malting
Parcels were less in request. Malt changed hands slowly, at
Previous currencies. There was more doing in Oats, the
value of which had an upward tendency. Beans and Peas
Were held at full prices. Indian Corn and Flour without
change.
Our foreign letters state that a steady demand has sprung
11P for most kinds of spring Corn at full prices. The Wheat
trade has ruled inactive, but Flour continues to change hands
freely in most of the French ports on English account.
The receipts of English Grain up to our market, last week,
Jr% small. From abroad we received 31,293 quarters of
Wheat, 7.516 Barley, 42,506 Oats, 64 Beans, 112 Peas, 37
tares, 774 Linseed, 3,842 Rapeseed, 1,150 sundry seeds, 13,338
sacks and 1,663 barrels Flour.
A very limited quantity of Wheat came fresh to hand this
morning, coastwise from Essex and Kent ; but its condition
Was tolerably good. By land carriage the receipts were very
Moderate, and by no means prime. As the show of samples
of both red and white were small, and as most of the London
Itillers are very short of stock, the demand for all kinds of
Wheat of home produce was steady, and a good clearance
'Was effected et prices equal to those obtained on this day
4 ennight.
The number of offers from the east coast were compare-
i 4vely.small, but the amount of business doing for forward
leiliPment was limited. It is generally considered that the
Iteeks of Wheat in Norfolk and Suffolk are beneath average
Iltlea for the time of year; yet no advance can be looked for
the quotations
sso long as the present pressure of foreign
01 our continues.
We were heavily supplied with samples of foreign Wheat
P: tr. tly afloat and ex granary. Fine qualities commanded a
el et lerate inquiry, at tuff prices, but the sales were chiefly in
re Lai 1. In the puddling aad inferior kinds very few sales
ok place, at last week's currencies. Numerous offers were
. the market frum Dentate, but we heard of very few sales.
tet floating cargoes off Falmouth scarcely any business was
do tag.
' The show of English Barley was small, that, of foreign
tat teOnably large. Most kinds were in fair request, and late
tat es were well supported.
,V.alt, the supply of which was tolerably goad, sold
110 wly, but no change took place in its value.
Ic;otwithstanding that the supply of foreign Oats was very
extensive, the Oat trade ruled steady, and late rates were
Well supported.

SEEDS.
The season for sowing being now nearly over, very little
is doing in Clover Seed, the rates of which are very irregular.
)dost other Seeds move off slowly, at last week's prices. The
best Linseed Cakes are in somewhat improved request.

The iow of Beasts in to-day's market was large beyend
reeolhleted precedent at this period of the year, indeed it
!rim e( ;gal, in point both of number and quality, to the supply
"(mg ht forward at Christmas in some seasons. The excess
111eY, in a great measure, be attributed to the holding of the
ureat Exhibition, and the anticipated increased consumption
of fo ed in the metropolis. The Beef trade was, however,
eZees sively heavy, and prices ruled from 2d, to, in
come instances, 4d per 81bs beneath those of Monday
lest,' arid a clearance was not effected. The ex-
treme, value of the best Scots was 3s 6d. per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Sussex, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we re.
_teived'. 2,800 Scots, Shorthorns, &c.; from other parts of
d, 450 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ; and from.
Scotian d, 500 horned and polled Scots, 400 being per rail-
Way: With Sheep we were very extensively supplied, how-
ever all breeds met a very dull inquiry, and the currencies
Were, Belly 2d per Blbs lower than last week. The primest
Old De.vins, out of the wool, sold with difficulty at from 3s 6d
to 3s ad per 81bs. Large numbers of Sheep left the market
unsold. Lambs, the supply of which was seasonably large,
Moved off heavily, at 2d per Bibs. less money, the highest
figure being 5s 6d per Blbs. From the Isle of Wight 380
head came to hand per railway. Very little business was
transacted in Calves, at a fall in value of from 2d to 4d per
81bs. In Pigs next to nothing was doing, and the currencies
gave way 2d to 4d per Blbs.

Ne arly 2,000 tons of Potatoes arrived for these markets
coastwise and by laud carriage last week ; and We received
54 sacks, from Dunkirk and 104 bags from Dordt. Selected
samples are somewhat scarce, and quite as dear; but all other
kinds are a slow sale.

next, and as the quantity of Colonial Wool to be offered
thereat is fully expected to exceed by 20,000 bales the pre-

almost nominal quotations.
