MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

turday wet., but moderately supplied with home grown
Wheat, yet the demand fir all descriptions ruled heavy
and prices had a downward tendency. In foreign
Wheats scarcely any business was doing at
previous cur-
rencies. Malting and distilling Barley sold steadily, but
grinding samples, as well as Malt, met a slow inquiry.
The Oat trade was tolerably firm; and Indian Corn wail
held for rather more money. Beane, Peas, and Flour
heavy.
An improved demand for both Wheat and Flour P P
pears 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 English
Grain and Flour were small. From abroad they amounted
to 4,911 quarters Wheat, 1,620 Barley, 11,070 Oats, 16S
Peas, 15 Tares, 7 Linseed, 33 sundry Seeds, B,Bso sacks,
and 1,326 bls. of Flour.
Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of
Wheat from Essex and Kent, by water-carriage, were
moderate, and in fair average condition. By land car-
riage from Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, &c., the receipts
were small, and most of the samples were of very Mid'
dling quality.
Owing to the holidays, the attendance of both tofu
and country millers was small; hence, the demand for
all kinds of Wheat of home produce—the sale for whiell,
was evidently checked by the immense quantity 0'
French Flour on offer—ruled exceedingly inactive, and,
when sales were forced, the factors submitted to a re'
duction in the prices of Monday last of ls per quarter.
At theclose of business, a portion of the supply remained
unsold.
Numerous offers came to hand from the East Coast
to ship Wheats on lower terms; but the business doing
was limited to small parcels.
The quantity of fresh foreign Wheat on show was by
no means large; but we had a good supply from gra;
nary. Selected qualities of both red and white moved
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 numerous
orders have been forwarded to the Baltic markets at oar
paratively low limits.
The weather having become rather mild for malting:
there was less inquiry for fine Barley, the prices of
which were barely maintained; but grinding and dis•
tilling sorts moved off steadily, at full currencies.
Although the supply of Malt was small, that article
' commanded very little attention at last week's quotation.
With Oats we were very moderately supplied. Or,
the whole the trade ruled firm, and prices were well
supported.
We had an improved inquiry for Beans, which sold
at the extreme currencies or last week.

Tho sale for Peas was inactive, but holders refused to
accept lower rates.
Indian Corn, afloat, was held for more money.
The supply of Flour being large, the trade with that
article was heavy, and low qualities were easier to
purchascs.

The supply of both Eugash and Foreign Clover
Seed on sale to-day was large. All kinds met,
a very dull inquiry, and in wale instances prices were
the turn in favour of buyers. Canary moved off slovvii,
on somewhat easier terms. M. at other Seeds, as well
as Cakes, commarded very little attention.

The total imports of foreign stock into London, 10,1
week, amounted to 1,883 head. During the correspond'
ing period in 1850, we received 1,244; in 1849, 1,093;
and in 1848, 1,256 head. The Beasts and Calves con-
tinue to arrive in good condition, hut we have very
little improvement to notice in the weighing qualities of
the Sheep, which are now coming to hand out of the
wool. No Lambs have yet arrived.

At the northern outposts, the arrivals were small; 10,.
217 Beasts, and 228 Pigs, were received at Lowestoft
from lijerting, from which port large supplies are eV
peeled during the present year, and which will, via
understand, be mostly forwarded per railway to tilts
market. As is invariably the case at this period of the
year, the supply of Beasts on, offer to-day was very 1:0°'
derate, but its general quality was good. As the st
tendance of both town and country buyers was smalls
and the weather by no means favourable for slaughter
ing, the Beef trade ruled excessively heavy, at a decline
in the quotations of 2d per Blbs, and a tot
clearance was not effected. A few very ON
perior Scots realized 3s 8d; but the generP'
top figure for B..ef did not exceed 3s 6d per 81b0'
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,150 Scots, Shorthorns, &c.; Irc m other Pert!
of England, 300 of various breeds; and from Scalene,
320 horned and polled Scots ; the remainder of the
Bullock supply being derived from abroad and the
neighbourhood of the metropolis. With Sheep we were
heavily supplied, ccnsidering the holidays.. All breens
met a very dull inquiry, and prices gave way 2d per Sibs.
The top quotation for Downs in the wool was 4i 4d, Oui!
of the wool, 3s 8d per Blbs. Lambs, the numbers of whin'
were large, were in moderate request, at from 4s 8d tn,
6s per Blbs. Only 20 came to hand from the Isle 61'
Wight. We had a very slow sale for Calves, at drooping
currencies. In Pigs so little was doing that their prices
were almost nominal.

Really fine qualities are in moderate request, at Nl'
