MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE —(MONDAY.)
Very little change took place in the value of either Eng-
!f,sh or foreign Wheat in the large consuming markets held in
!he provincial districts on Saturday, but the amount of busi-
ness doing was comparatively small, owing to the large sup-
plies 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
111) 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 Gram up to our market, last week,
Were small. From abroad we received 31,293 quarters of
Wheat, 7,516 Barley, 42,506 Oats, 64 Beans, 11z 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 I,nd 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
millers
are very short of stock, the demand for all kinds of
heat of home produce was steady, and a good clearance
Was effected a t prices equal to those obtained on this day
le'nnight.
The number of offers from the east coast were compara-
tivelysmall, but the amount of business doing for forward
Shipment was limited. It is generally considered that the
stocks of Wheat in Norfolk and Suffolk are beneath average
ones for the time of year; yet no advance can be looked for
the quotations so long as the present pressure of foreign
'skin continues.
We were heavily supplied with samples of foreign Wheat
Partly afloat and ex granary. Fine qualities commanded a
Moderate inquiry, at full prices, but the sales were chiefly in
retail• In the middling and inferior kinds very few sales
took place, at last week's currencies. Numerous offers were
..11 the market from Dantzie, but we heard of very few sales.
hfleating cargoes off Falmouth scarcely any business was
doing.
The show of English Barley was small, that of foreign
seasonably large. Most kinds were in fair request, and late
rates were well supported.
Malt, the supply of which was tolerably good, sold
al°wlY, but no change took place in its value.
Notwithstanding that the supply of foreign Oats was very
tensive, the Oat trade ruled steady, and late rates were
Well supported.
We had a fair sale for Beans, at fully late rates.
In - Peas very little was doing, yet holders generally were
firm.

Indian-corn was neglected; but several large parcels of
French Flour changed hands, at full prices. The stock here
4 lilluenally large.

The show of Beasts in to-day's market was large beyond
recollected precedent at this period of the year, indeed it
Was equal, in point both of number and quality, to the supply
brought forward at Christmas in some seasons. The excess
may, in a great measure, be attributed to the holding of the
Great Exhibition, and the anticipated increased consumption
of food in the metropolis. The Beef trade was, however,
'-xeessively heavy, and prices ruled from 2d, to, in
some instances, 4d per 81bs beneath those of Monday
last, and a clearance was not effected. The ex-
treme value of the best Scots was 3s 6d per 81ba
Pr,elo Norfolk, Sussex, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we re-
ceived 2,800 Scots, Shorthorns, &c.; from other parts of
England, 450 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c.; and from
'eeotlaad, 500 horned and polled Scots, 400 being per rail-
bay. With Sheep we were very extensively supplied, how-
ever all breeds met a very dull inquiry, and the currencies
`were fully 2d per Blbs lower than last week. The primest
old Downs, out of the wool, sold with difficulty at from 3s 6d
to 3$ Sd per 81bs. Large numbers of Sheep left the market
Unsold. Lambs, the supply of which was seasonably large,
moved off heavily, at 2d per 81bs. less money, the highest
figure being 5s 6d per 81bs. From the Isle of Wight 380
bead came to hand per railway. Very little business was
transacted in Calves, at a fall in value of from 2d to 4d per
'be. In Pigs next to nothing was doing, and the currencies
gave way 2d to 4d per Blbs.

LIMP, 6,034 from Sydney, 1,412 from Adelaide, 1,2 00 from
Launceston, 350 from Algoa Bay, 37 from the Cape, and 12
from Hamburgh. As the sales will commence on Ti lursday
text, and as the quantity of Colonial Wool to be offered
thereat is fully expected to exceed by 20,000 bales t be pre-
vious estimate, the private contract demand is he a vy, at
almost nominal quotations.
