CORN EXCIHANGE•

Most of the provincial markets held an Saturday wore
dull for wheat, at drooping prices. There was a fair ave-
rage business doing in barley and most other kinds of
spring corn, at full quotations. The flour trade was
rather dull.

No material change has taken place in the value of grain
in the Continental markets. From New York, we learn
that large quantities of wheat continued to be taken for
shipment to this country.
Very moderate supplies of home-grown produce were
received up to our market last week. The imports from
abroad were 14,522 quarters of wheat, 5,345 barley,
25,4:39 oats, 1,473 beans, 459 pease, 585 linseed, 2,508
rapeseed, 870 sundry seeds, 92 sacks and 2,715 barrels of
flour.

The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our
market to-day, coastwise from Essox and Kent, was very
moderate, arid a large portion of it was much out of con
dition. The few selected samples on offer were in slow
request, at prices about equal to those realised on Monday
last. All other kinds met a dull sale, at ls. to 2s. per
quarter lower. By land carriage very little wheat of home
produce came to hand.

There was about an average supply of foreign wheat in
the market. For most descriptions we had a very inactive
inquiry ; nevertheless, no quotable change took place in
prices. Floating cargoes of grain were firm, and a steady
business was transacted in them, at extreme rates.
The show of barley was by no means extensive. Fine
malting parcels wore scarce and in active request at very
lUD prices. Grinding and distilling sorts ruled steady, at
late rates.

The malt trade was steady, at full quotations.
Although the supply of both Irish and foreign oats was
good, the oat trade ruled firm, and prices were well sup.
ported.

Both beans and peas were in short supply, and fair re.
quest, at full quotations.

Fine flour moved off steadily, at full prices ; but a'
other kinds met a slow sale, at barely previous rates.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Several arrivals of very good foreign sheep have lately
reached this market, and they have carried a large quan-
tity of internal fat. The beasts are certainly improving
in quality, and the calves, from their extreme whiteness,
are much in favour with the butchers.
Fresh up from our own grazing districts there was ra-
ther an increased supply of beasts, compared with Monday
last, but their general quality was by no means first•rate.
Irish beasts came to hand in fair condition. Selected
breeds were in moderate request, at prices quite equal to
those realised on this day se'nnight. Inferior descriptions
met a dull sale, and, in some instances, the quotations
ruled rather lower.

From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton
shire we received 2,200 short horns ; from other parts ol
England 400 of various breeds; and from Ireland 500 oxen.
There were no arrivals from Scotland.

For the time of year we were very moderately supplied
with all breeds of sheep ; nevertheless, the mutton trade
ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs.
The top figure for Downs was 5s ; for half-breeds, 4s 10d
per 811 x.
The show of calves was limited, and the veal trade ruled
steady, at 4d per 81bs. above last Monday's currency. The
best calves realised 5s 4d per Sibs.

Higher prices were realised for pigs ; but the domand
for them was by no means active.
