MARKET

NEWZ.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the Continental markets have become inactive
for all articles of produce, and the quotations have ruled
in favour of buyers. Steady shipments of produce continue
to be made from America.
Very limited supplies of home-grown produce were re-
ceived up to our market last week. The imports of foreign
were 27,455 quarters of wheat, 6,185 barley, 23,528 oats,
350 beans, 10 peas, 1,570 linseed. 255 rapeseed, 2,445 In-
dian corn, and 11,839 barrels of flour.
The quantity of English wheat received fist up to-day
from all quarters, coastwise and by land carriage, was very
limited ; and the show of samples of both red and white
was small. The attendance of millers was by no means
extensive, yet factors commenced by asking higher prices
for both red and white. On the whole, in consequence of
the very small quantity brought forward, the demand
ruled steady, at lastjMonday's decline in the quotations;
but a few very fine samples realised an advance of from ls.
to 2s. per qr.

We were rather heavily supplied with foreign wheat,
fresh as well as ex granary. The amount of business doing
in all kinds was limited; nevertheless we have no change
to notice in prices.
Floating cargoes of grain were dull.
Several parcels of 'new barley changed hands, at 47s to
50s per quarter. Old parcels wore dull, and prices were
barely supported.

. _
Malt was dull, and inferior qualities were the turn lower.
Good sound oats sold to a moderate extent on former
terms; but low middling parcels wore dull, and lower to
purchase.
The sales for beans ruled very inactive at drooping
prices.
New white and grey peas were on sale in good eondi
tion. Old pease were dull, and is to 2s per quarter lower,
The amount of business doing in flour was very mode.

The import of nearly all kinds of foreign stock exhibit
very little improvement either in point of weight or qua-
lity.
Advices from Holland state that the business doing in
stock on French account is comparatively small.
There was only a moderate supply of foreign stock in
to-day's market, and its general quality was inferior.
From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up to-day were moderate, and of but middling qua-
lity. There was a slight improvement in the demand for
nearly all breeds, and in some instances prices were 2d per
Sibs higher than on Monday last. The best Scots were
worth 4s 10d per 81bs.
The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire,
and Northamptonshire amounted to 1,800 shorthorns;
from other parts of England, 400 of various kinds ; from
Scotland, 14 Scots; and from Ireland, 200 oxen.
There was a fair average show of sheep in the market,
but their quality was only middling. Most kinds sold
slowly, at last Monday's currency, the top figure for Downs
being 5s 2d per 81bs.

•
The supply of lambs was moderately good, and the lamb
trade ruled film, at Friday's advance in the quotations.
The best lambs realised Gs per Blbs.
We were fairly supplied with calves, which changed
hands to a fair extent, and prices were a shade higher.
The pork trade was dull, at last week's carreLcy.

NEWGA.TE AND LEADENHA.LL.
We have a slight increase in the supplies of most kinds
of meat compared with Monday last. Prime beef, mut-
ton, lamb, and veal move off steadily, at very full prices.
Otherwise, the demand is in a sluggish state.

The holders of wheat in the country markets held on
Sa`urday were somewhat firmer for wheat than in the early
part of the week. Barley was steady, at full prices; but
all other kinds of produce met a very dull inquiry.
