MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were very
moderately supplied with wheat, and the trade ruled
steady, on higher terms. Barley was in improved request,
and rather dearer. Most other articles, including flour,
were tolerably firm.

The continental markets continue heavy and drooping
for nearly all kinds of produce. In the United States
large quantities of produce continue to change hands on
English account.
. _

The arrivals of barley last week, coastwise, were good ;
but those of other home-produce were limited. From
abroad, we received 1,917 quarters of wheat, 170 barley,
37,928 oats, 755 beans, 665 peas, 654 tares, 9,332 linseed,
and 1,729 rapeseed.

The supply of English wheat on sale to-day is but mode-
rate, though in improved condition. The business doing
has not been extensive, yet prices have advanced 2s per
quarter. At the close of the market a clearance had not
been effected.

Foreign wheat was in improved request, and quite as dear
as last week.

There was a steady sale for barley, the prices of which
advanced ls. per quarter.
In malt very little was doing, on former terms.
We had a fair demand for oats, at full quotations.
Both beans and peas moved off freely, at is per quarter
more money.

The flour trade was firm, and country qualities were the
turn dearer. American flour was held for rather more

money.

A very limited supply of foreign stock was on sale in
poor condition. The show of Irish stock, via Liverpool,
amounted tiit

The rrrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis-
tricts were but moderate, and their general quality was by
no means first rate. For all breeds the demand was in a
sluggish state, at last Monday's decline in the quotations.
The highest figure was 43. lOd. per 81bs.
From Norfolk, SutZdk, -Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 1,300 Scots and short horns ; from the northern
and other grazing districts, 800 of various breeds; and,
from Scotland, 380 Scots.
With sheep we were tolerably well, but not extensively,
supplied. Owing to the large quantities of mutton on
sale in Newgate and Leatlenhall, all breeds of sheep met a
very dull trade, at a decline in price of from 2d. to 4,1. per
816 s. The extreme value of old Downs was 4s. Bd. per 81b3.
The supply of calves was limited ; nevertheless, the veal
trade was heavy, at Friday's decline in the quotations.
