MARKET NEWS.-

THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.—(MONDAY.)
Very moderate supplies cf English Wheat were on
offer in the leading country markets held on Saturday.
All kinds moved off steadily, at, in most instances, an
advance in the quotations of is per quarter. Fine foreign
Wheats realized the same amount ot improvement, with
a good consumptive demand. Barley, the supply of
which was small, sold at is per quarter more money;
whilst the value of Malt ruled steady. Oats and Beans
realized higher rates; and the value of all other articles
was well supported.
Letters from New York to the 27th ult. state that
very little was doing in Flour, at barely previous rates.
In the near continental markets all articles aro firm;
whilst higher rates have been generally demanded in the
Baltic ports.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last
week were very small. From abroad we received
1 030 quarters ot Wheat, 370 Barley, 4,415 Oats, 1,305
Tares, 500 Rapeseed, 37 Mustard Seed, 8 sundry seeds,
5,813 sacks, and 3.155 barrels of Flour.
Coastwise from Essex the arrivals of Wheat fresh up
to our market to-day were unusually small, but in ex-
cellent condition. From Kent, Suffolk, &c., they were
Very moderate. By land carriage the supply was be-
neath an average. The show of samples of both red and
white being very limited, the attendance of buyers, both
town and country, on the increase, and the quantity of
foreign less than for many weeks past, the demand for all
kinds of Wheat of home produce ruled active, at an ad-
vance in the quotations obtained on this day se'nnight
of from is to 2s per quarter, at which amount of im-
provement a clearance was speedily effected.
From the East the number of offers was not large; yet
an improved amount of business was transacted for for-
ward shipment on rather higher terms. The quantity
of Wheat on passage is very small.
With fresh Foreign Wheat we were very scantily sup-
plied, whilst the quantity offering ex granary was by no
means large. Selected qualities of both red and white
sold freely, at is per quarter more money. In the
middling and inferior kinds an improved amount of
business was transacted, at extreme quotations.
Several offers from Dantzic and elsewhere to ship
wheats during this and the following month were closed.
Floating cargoes were held for more money.
No English Barley was on offer, and the show of Fo-
reign was extremely small. That article moved off
freely, at a rise in the currencies of fully is per quarter.
Malt, the supply of which was moderately good, sold
at prices about equal to those paid on this day se'nnight.
The supply of Oats being trifling, the Oat trade ruled
active at a rise in the ,quotations of quite is per
quarter.
We had more inquiry for Beans, the value of which
improved is per quarter. Peas were fully is per quarter
dearer, with a good consumptive demand. Indian Corn
afloat was held at 61 to Is per 4801bs more money.
The Flour trade was steady, and, in some instances,
fine qualities of Foreign were the turn dearer.

The Ohl imports of t ()reign stock into London, last
week, were seasonably extensive, viz., 2,944 head.
During the corresponding period, in 1850, we received
2,490; in 1849, 2,405; in 1848, 3,788; and, in 1847,
3,554 head. The general condition of the supplies at
hand since our last report has been by no means first-rate.

'l'o•day's market was seasonably well supplied with
Beasts, the generally quality of which was very prime.
As the dead markets were well cleared of their last
week's supplies, and as the attendance of buyers was on
the increase, the Beef trade ruled steady, at prices quite
equal to those obtained on Monday last. A few prime Scots
realized 3s 8d; but the more general top figure for Beef
was 3s 6d per 81bs, at which a good clearance was effected.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,200 Scots, Shorthorns, &c.; from other parts
of England, 500 of various breeds; and from Scotland,
250 horned and polled Scots. The number of Sheep
exhibited a slight falling off. All breeds commanded a
steady, though not to say brisk, inquiry, and last week's
quotations were well supported. A few very superior
old Downs sold at 4s per Blbs. Lambs, the supply of
which was good, moved off steadily, and late rates were
fairly supported. The extreme figure for Down quali-
ties was 5s 6d per Blbs. From the Isle of Wight 200
came fresh to hand. We had a fair sale for Calves at
unaltered quotations. In Pigs, next to nothing was
doing.
