Compared with that exhibited on Monday last, the
total supply of Beasts on sale, to-day, was small, but
seasonably extensive. The dead markets being tolerably
well cleared of their last week's arrivals, and the attend-
ance of buyers on the increase, the Beef trade ruled
steady, and a good clearance was effected, at an advance
in the currency of this day se'nnight of quite 2d per Blbs.
The primest Scots sold at from 3s 6d to 3s 8d per Blbs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,000 Scots, Devons, Herefords, and Short-
horns; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds;
and from Scotland, chiefly by railway, 360 horned end
polled Soots, in excellent condition. The remainder of the
supply was derived from the neighbourhood of the metro-
polis. There was a considerable falling off in the number
o f Sheep, yet it was good, the time of year considered.
For all breeds the inqury was somewhat active, and prices
advanced from 2d to in some instances 4d per 81bs. The
very primest old Downs realised 3s 10d to 4s per 810.
Lambs came freely to hand; nevertheless, the demand
for that description of Stock ruled firm, at a rise 10
prices of quite 2d per Blbs. The highest quotation was
5s 10d per 81bs. A trifle more money was paid for the
best Calve s; but inferior qualities of Veal ruled inac-
tive. The demand for Pigs was heavy, at almost no-
minal currencies.

Fat Stock exhibited and sold in Smithfield Cattle Market,
on Monday, May 20, 1850, and this day, Monday, May
19, 1851.

CORN EXCHANGE —(MONDAY.)
Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
very moderately supplied with home-grown Wheat, for
which the demand ruled steady at, iu some instances, an
advance in the quotations of is per quarter. Foreign
Wheats were held at very full prices. In Barley and
Malt comparatively littlo business was transacted, at
previous currencies. The Oat trade ruled firm at 6d
per quarter more money. Beans commanded more at-
tention, but all other articles were neglected.
Letters from New York to the 7th instant state that
Flour had fallen 35 cents Der barrel ; yet the sales for
export had been small. Wheat has sold freely in the
Black Sea markets; but the business doing in that grain
up the Baltic is small. The French markets are steady
for Flour.
Up to our market, last week, the receipts of English
Grain were limited. From abroad we received 14,831
quarters of Wheat ; 12,179 Barley; 29,353 Oats; 61,.,
Beans; 136 Tares; 136 Linseed; 1,094 Rapeseed; 162
sundry Seeds; 6,581 sacks, and 565 brls Flour. Rather an increased supply of Wheat was reeeirea
fresh up to this market coastwise from Essex and Kent,
but that from Norfolk, Suffolk, &c., was very moderate,
though in good saleable condition. By land carriage the
receipts of that grain were by no means extensive. Not-
withstanding that the show of samples of both red ai3u
white was comparatively small, the demand for all de-
scriptions, owing to the limited attendance of both toil
and country buyers, and the large quantities of Fre"
Flour on offer, was in a sluggish state. In the quote-
Lions, however, we have no change to notice. Prior :1
the close of business nearly the whole of the supply
been cleared off. From the east coast numerous offe,
came to hand, but at prices too high to meet the vie
the millers; consequently very little business was dolag
for forward delivery.
With foreign Wheat we were well supplied, cbied7
ex-granary, as several of the cargoes at hand last peer
have gone direct into the hands of the millers. Selected
samples sold to a lair extent, at full currencies. In "
middling and out-of-condition qualities very little "5
doing, but the importers were not sellers on lower
term a.

Offers have reached the market from Dantzic to obi
Wheats on lower terms. In floating cargoes off Fal-
mouth very few transactions took place.
The show of Daglish Barley was unusually small"
that of foreign extensive. Good feeding and dtotilling
qualities moved off freely, at full quotations. In 03515•
ins parcels very little was doing at late rates.
Notwithstanding that the supply of Foreign Oats has
again large, that article moved off steadily, at fa'
quotations. English Oats were held for rather 0:00
money.
Beans—the supply of which was small—advanced 1•
per quarter, with a steady sale.
In Peas we have no change to report; but holder•
were firm.

Indian Corn and Flour moved off slowly; but we We
no change to notice in their value.

SMITHFIELD.
Rather an extensive supply of foreign stock arrived 10
the port of London, last week, viz.:-2,899 head. During
the corresponding period, in 1850, we received 1,373; 1°
1849, 1,363; in 1848, 2,503; and, in 1847, 1,939 head.
The general quality of the stock at hand, since our last,
has been inferior.
