MIS DAYS MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.
Most of tho country markets held on Saturday were
fairly supplied with home-grown wheat. Good and fine
samples changed hands steadily, at very full prices. Other
kinds were tolerably firm, Barley was in good request,
at extreme rates, and all other artices supported previous

currencies. •
The demand for wheat throughout the Continent con-
tinues steady, at full quotations. Spring corn, too, is
steady, but not dearer. In the United States, both wheat
and flour have continued firm.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of home-grown
produce were only moderate. The imports from abroad
amounted to 40 quarters of wheat, 924 of barley, 12,954
of oats, 400 of beans, 540 of tares, 2,640 of linseed, 2,030 of
rapeseed, 120 of sundry seeds, 10 sacks and 3,791 barrels of
flair.

A very limited supply of English wheat was :received
fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise and by land-car-
riage ; consequently the show of samples was very mode-
rate.

For most kinds the demand ruled steady, and in some in-
stances selected parcels realised ls. per quarter more money
when compared with Monday last.
The condition of the wheats exhibited some improve-
ment, yet it was by no means fine.
We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat, wholly ex
granary. Importers were very firm in their demands ; but
the business doing was rather limited, at last week's cur-
rency. Floating cargoes of grain were inactive, but not
cheaper.
The few samples of home-grown barley on show were
disposed of, at full quotations, Foreign parcels ruled
steady, on former terms.
Malt was in fair average supply,
and heavy request, at
late quotations.
Although the fresh arrivals of oats are very moderate,
the oat trade was inactive at previous quotations.
Beans were in fair average supply, and heavy request, at
barely stationary prices.
In peas very little was doing, on former terms.
There was a slight improvement in the flour trade, at very
full prices.

About an average supply of foreign stock was on offer
here to day, amongst it were 60 oxen from Spain. Sales
progressed slowly at about stationary prices.

From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up wore moderately good, and in somewhat improved
cor dition. Most breeds moved off slowly, and in some in-
stances prices ruled 2d per 81bs lower than cm Monday last.
The extreme value of the best Scots was 4s 10d per 81bs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire amounted to 2,460 Scots, short horns, and
crosses ; from other parts of England 300 various breeds ;
from Scotland 240 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 228
oxen and heifers.

We were again but moderately supplied with sheep. Com-
pared with this day se'nnight no quotable change took place
in prices. On the whole the mutton trade ruled steady, the
best old Downs sold at 6s 8d per 81bs. The shorn sheep went
at from lod to 15 par M. under that quotation.
Lambs—the show of which was very moderate—sold
slowly at from 6s to Gs Pd per Sibs.

We had a steady demand for calves at very fall prices.
The supply was limited.

The pork trade was in a sluggish state, at late currencies.
