MARKET NEWS.--.(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY,

There was 1 S 3 activity in the 6-niant!'lof ail Tiiir7s of
English Wheat in the leading ceuniry..-.arkets htld on Sat-
ur lay. In prices however, no material change took place.
Fite toreigo qualities were quite as dear, but low and
middling kinds sold heavily. Grinding and
Barley commanded a lair amount o• attention,. but Malt
was *very inactive. Oats. acid read,ly at higher r4es.
Ici-other articles iio ctaPge took: place.!
:-...Advices from New York to ,the.l2oll inst. state it
node wai still tailing in value. Fine Wheats wire
'tolerably firm. In the Baltic market the trade was con-
tinued in a very inactive state.' The' sale for Flour, :in
most of the French ports, has coninned steady.
The receipts of English produce up to wit- market last
week were very mderate. From abroad we received
4,667 quarters of Wheat. 2,961 Barley, 16,322 Oats,
_lOB4 Beans; 10 Tares. 4.5:9 Linseed, 4,423 It ipeserd.
112
_sundry seeds, 8,645 s.cks and 3,529 barrels of
Flour. _ _ _

_
The quantity of Wheat received fresh up to fhb:
Morning's market from Essex was very moderate whilst
the receipts from Kent and Cambridgeshire were small,
but of full average qualify. By land carriage and SUM •
ple only a limited supply ri ached us; hence, the
stands were comparatively bare of samples. Notwith-
standing that the att, ndist.ce of both town and country
millers was far from extensive, the demand for ail kinds
of Wheat of home produce ruled steady, at prices quite
equal to those obtained on Alouday last, and at which a
clearance was readily effected. Most of the buyers are
still unusually short of stock. Toe offers from the east
coast were less numerous. The business doing for for•
ward delivery was trifling.
With fresh foraign Wheat we were very scantily Sup-
plied, but tee show of granaried qualities was tolerably
extensive. Fine dry samples moved cff steadily, at.full
rates of currency. In the middling and inferior kinds,
very little was doing; nevertheless, importers were to,
lerably firm. In floating cargoes next to nothing doing.
Offers from Dantz;c were numerous. • .
_ _

Scarcely any English Barley was brought forward ;
and the show of foreign was smaller than for many
weeks past. A good demand existed for grinding and
distilling sorts, at full prices; but Multine kinds met a
slow inquiry.
-Malt, though in full average supply, moved off
slowly, but we have no change to notice in its value.
The total supply of Oats being small, the • Oat trade
ruled firm, and in some instances 6d per quarter more
money 'was obtained for fine parcels.
Beans were in moderate inquire, at fully the late irn-
prOVement in value. The quantity offering was trifling.
We had a fair sale for Peas, at last week's currency.
Indian Corn was almost nominal.
The • show of foreign Flour was good. On the whole
the demand was inactive, but no change took place in
prices.•

About 800 bead were lauded at the various out-ports.
By sea, from inland, we received thirty-eight Pigs. The
show of Foreign Stock in to•day's market was very
moderate; but that of Beasts from our own grazing
districts was seasonably good as to numbers, and or full
average quality. Notwitnstanding that the Bf.ef trade,
arising from an increased attendance .of buyers, was
steady, no improvement took place iu the quotations.
The extreme value of the best Scots was 3s 6u per Sibs,
and a total clearance was with difficulty effected. From
Norfolk, Suffiilk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we re-
ceived about 2,000 Short Horns, Huretords, Scots, &c.;
from other parts of England, 400 Herewith', Short
Horns. Cows, &c.; and from Scotland—chiefly by rail-
way-260 Horned and Polled Scots. The remainder
of the supply was chi. fly drawn from abroad
and the neighbourhood of the metropolis.
Although the supply of Sheep was larger than th,,t
exhibited on Monday last, that description of stock
moved'Off steadily at unaltered currencies. The best
old Downs realised 3s 1041 to 4. per Sibs. For Lambs
the demand was by et) means active. In their value we
have little or no change to report, the highest figure
being 5s 8d per 81bs. From the Isle of Wight, 396 came
fresh to hand. Calves, the supply of which was mo-
derate, moved off slowly, at last week'. prices. We bad
scarcely any inquiry for Pigs, the value of which was
almost nominal.

Since our last report, these markets hate b.en toler-
ably well supplied with each kind of meat, the time of
year considered. Owing to the return of warm weather,
butchers generally have purchased with much caution;
hence the demand has ruled inactive, at barely Ea,.
ry prices. About 500 carcases of foreign meat
have appeared on sale.

The supply of home-grown Potatoes, coastwise and
by land carriage, being considerably in excess of the
demand, prices have fallen since Monday last fully 103
per ton, and great difficulty, owing to the low value of
bread, is now experienced in i-ffeeting sales. Last week's
