MARKET NEWS.-(THIS .1)A.Y:)

EXCIiAIN CeE—(II.IONDA Y.)
Nearly the whole of the country markets held en Se'
turday were but moderately supplied with home grown
W heat, yet the demand for all descriptions ruled hessi,
and prices had a downward tendency. In foreign
Wheats ecercely auy business was doing et previous Cur:
renciee. Melting and distilling Earley sold steadily, but
grinding samples, as well as Malt, met a slow inquiry
The Oat trade vies tolerably firm; and Indian Corn ws'
held for rather mere money. Beans, Peas, and Flour
heavy.
An improved demand for both Wheat and Flour sr
peers to have sprung up in the United States' markets.
In the Russian ports very little business has been re:
ported, but in France Flour continues to change hands
freely at low currencies.

Up to our market last week, the arrivals of Efig.l
Grain and Flour were small. From abroad they smounte;
to 4,911 quarters Wheat, 1,620 Barley, 11,070 Oats, 1,6
Peas, 15 Tares, 7 Linseed, 33 sundry heeds, 8,880 sac''s'
and 1,326 his. of Flour.
Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of
Wheat from Essex and Kent, by water carriage, wet
moderate, and in feir average condition. By land cat':
riage from Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, &c., the recelP7
were small, and nlust of the samples were of very mid
cluing quality.
Owing to the holidays, the attendance of both WO_
and country millers was small; hence, the demand
all kinds of When of home produce—the sale for vibic f
was evidently checked by the immense quantity 43(3,
French Flour on offer—ruled exceedingly inactive, sec,
when sales were forced, the factors submitted to 3 r`:.

At the close of business, a portion of the supply remaipe
unsold.
Numerous offers came to hand from the East C°6st
to ship Wheats on lower terms; but the business doi
was limited to small parcels.

no means large; but we had a good supply from grsi
nary. Selected qualities of both red and white move
off slowly at late rates; whilst the middling and inferior
kinds were very dull, and the turn in favour of buyers',
Scarcely any Wheat was offering afloat; but nuieerow
orders have bet:; forwarded to the Baltic markets at eoll3'
paratively low dmits.
The weather having become rather mild for inalripi
there was less inquiry for fine Barley, the prices "

Although the supply of Malt was small, that artic
commanded very little attention at last week's ci uotati°ll.

At the northern outposts, the arrivals were small; "1./
217 Beasts, and 228 Pigs, were received at Lowestoft
from Djerting, from which port large supplies are eso
peeled during the present year, and which will, hig
understand, be mostly forwarded per railway to t'be
market. As is invariably the case at this period of 1 ,
year, the supply of Beasts on offer to-day was very at,
derate, but its general quality was good. As the ,t,114
tendauce of both town and country buyers was 5133-r,
and the weather by no means favourable for slaughter
