MARKET isiEWs.—(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-(MONDAY)
Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
but moderately supplied with Wheat. Selected quaff'
ties Gold at full prices, but damp and inferior parcels
were quite is per quarter lower. In Barley, the show
of which was tolerably good, comparatively little was
doing, but no actual change took place in the quota-
tions. The Malt trade ruled heavy, but the best Oats
and Flour commanded full currencies. In other articles,
next to nothing doing.
Letters from New York to the Bth inst. state that the
demand for both Wheat and Flour had fallen off at
drooping prices. In France, a large business is doing AL
extreme quotations. The other continental markets are
heavy.
The arrivals of English grain up to cur maket, lest
week, were small, but those of Oats from Ireland were,
extensive. The foreign imports amounted to 8,231
quarters of Wheat, 1,534 ditto of Barley, 3,751 04tt
672 Beans, 850 Peas, 169 Tares, 5,750 Linseed, I•°s°
Rapeseed, 175 sundry seeds, 4,424 sacks and 1,092 bar-
rels of Flour.

The quantity of Wheat received fresh up to our
market to•day, from Essex and Kent, coastwise, Wag
comparatively small, and somewhat out of condition,
owing to the prevailing damp weather. By land-car-
riage and samples, from Cambridg eshire Suffolk, 80"
the supply was limited, and chiefly below average quality Notwithstanding that the attendance of both town and
country buyers was small for the time of year, the de•
mand for most kinds of Wheat of home produce, espe-
cially selected qualities of white, ruled steady, and to
good clearance was effected, at prices quite equal
those obtained on Monday last.
Offers came to hand from the eastward to ship Whet
at late rates, and at which about 1,500 quarters iva"
taken.

The show of foreign Wheat was not quite so exten-
sive as of late, from several cargoes having gone direct
into the hands of the millers. Fine dry qualities moot'
off steadily at full rates of currency. In the middling
and inferior kinds only a limited business was doing;
nevertheless, the importers refused to accept lower tern3t
With both English and foreign Barley we were very
moderately supplied. Malting samples were quite 61.1.
dear. Grinding and distilling parcels ruled dull, bui,
not cheaper.
Malt, the supply of which was small, moved off slowly'
yet late rates were well supported.
We had a large quantity of Irish Oats on hand;
the supply of English, Scotch, and foreign, was am
The demand ruled inactive at late currencies.
In Beans, next to nothing was doing, at last Week's
decline in value.
The sale for Peas was heavy, but we have 170 fall to
notice in prices.
The top price of Flour remained at 403
per 280Ibs.
Country and foreign markets were dull in sale.

By sea, from Ireland, 9 Cows and 70 Pigs have reached
us. With foreign stock our market to-day was very
moderately supplied, in mostl inferior condition. From
our own grazing districts the
arrivals of Beasts fresh up
this morning were seasonably largo and of excellent
quality. Although the weather was more favourable
tor slaughtering, and the attendance of buyers tolerably
good, the Beef trade was in a very
y
inactive state, at last
week's prices. The extreme
quotation for the best Scots
was 3i 8d per gibs, and a total clearance was not effected.
The Bullock supply from the northern districts cony
prised 1,200 Shorthorns ; from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex'
Cambridgeshire, and other parts of England, 2,000
Herefords, Runts, Devons, Scot, &c.; and from Scot-
land 500 horned and polled Scots, 380 De'
ing per railway, the remainder by steam-boat'
For the time of year the number of Sheep was but mode-
rate, yet the general quality of that stock was prim.e.
The best old Downs commanded a steady sale, at 111
some instances, an advance in the currencies of 2d per
81bs; yet the general top value of that breed was 49 4a
per 81bs. We were very scantily supplied with Calves'
in which only a limited business was doing,

prices. In other qualities of Pork, next to nothing 0.8

These markets continue to tte well and abundantly
supplied with all kinds of Potatoes of home growth---:
the arrivals in the past week, by the various modes of
conveyance, having exceeded 4,200 tons; whilst the
foreign supplies amounted to 137 tons from Dunkirk,
15 sacks from Mulogne, 92 tons from Rouen, 110 tons
from Calais, end 10 bags from Rotterdam. The e2t"
Creme mildness of the weather, and the low prices of
bread, cause the demand to rule heavy, on the following
