MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE:

Although the supplies of wheat in most of the country
markets held on Saturday were very moderate, the de-
mand for all kinds ruled heavy, at drooping prices. Most
spring corn changed hands to a limited extent, on former
terms.

The Continental markets, almost generally are very
quiet, although:the supplies of produce offering in them are
limited. From the United States, we learn that heavy
shipments of both wheat and flour continued to be made
to England.
Only limited supplies of home-grown wheat and other ar-
ticles were received up to our market last week. From
abroad, the imports were large, viz :-36,784 quarters of
wheat, 5,39 S barley, 37,007 oats, 342 beans, 12d peas,
7,136 linseed, 590 rapeseed, 3,190 Indian corn, 160 sacks
and 9,240 barrels of flour.
A very limited supply of English wheat was received
fresh up, to-day, direct from the home growers ; but some
quantity came to hand from the merchants; however, the
show of samples of both red and white were good. Owing
to a large influx of foreign grain, and the favourable ac-
counts at hand respecting the general appearance of the
crops, the demands for all kinds of wheat of home-pro-
duce ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations realized
on Monday last of from 3s to fully 4s per quarter.
We were rather heavily supplied with foreign wheat, in
which very little business was done, at 3s. per quarter be-
neath last week's currency.
There was a moderate sale of floating cargoes, but on
lower terms.
We had very little barley on offer, and the trade was
tolerably firm at late rates.
No change took place in the value of malt. The Ueda
was steady.
There was a large quantity of foreign oats in the test'
ket. The oat trade was heavy, at 6d. to is. per quarter
beneath last Monday's quotations.
Beans and peas were in short supply, and moderate re•
quest, at late rates.
We had a very dull inquiry for flour, and country marks
were 2s. lower. American qualities gave way Is. per
barrel.

The show of foreign stock in to-day's -market was aase'3l
sonably good, and in moderate condition.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beafi?
put up to-day were moderate in number, but deficient tae.'
quality. Prime breeds sold somewhat steadily at as:,
Monday's quotations, the bast Scots being worth 5s 2d
Sibs, otherwise the beef trado was heavy at a decline Dr,'
value of 2d per Blbs.
The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire.
and Northamptonshire amounted to 1,800 short horns
from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds; frog
Ireland, 250 oxen ; and from Scotland, 70 Scots.
We were tolerably well supplied with sheep, but the
show of prime breeds was comparatively small. Genr
rally speaking, the mutton trade ruled dull at prices barel
equal to those realised on this day se'ennight. Ab°l
2,000 sheep have come'ito hand from Ireland via Liverpo •
The supply of lambs was moderate, and the demand for:
that description of stock was in a sluggish state, at la"
week's prices.
We had a large number of calves in the market, and the
veal trade was heavy at 2d per 81bs money.
Tn pigs very little was doing, yet prices were supprtea.
