CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were
firmly supplied with most kinds of wheat, at which only a
limited business was transacted on lower terms. Barley
ruled dull and cheaper. Oats, , beans, peas, and flour
moved off heavily, at drooping currencies.
The trade on the continent is exceedingly heavy, and a
considerable decline has taken place in the value of all
kinds of produce.

The arrivals of English gain up to onr market last week
were by no means extensive. From abroad we received
4,338 quarters of wheat, 2,570 barley, 7,310 oats, 566
beans, 365 tares, 436 rapeseed, 210 mustard seed, 190 sun-
dry seeds, and 2,151 sacks of flour.
The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our
market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was small,
and in very poor condition. Although the show of sam-
ples of both red and white was limited, the demand for
all kinds ruled far from active, at last Monday's decline
on the quotations. So inferior and tender were most of
the samples that they were quite unfit for millers' pur-
poses. At the close of the market the whole of the supply
had been disposed of.
The supply of foreign wheat was tolerably good. So
little business was transacted that the quotations were
nominally unaltered.

In fioatinz cargoes of grain very few transactions took
place.
We were fairly supplied with barley, in which only a
limited business was passing, i►t is to 2s per quarter be-
neath last Monday's prices.
The malt trade was very dull, and the quotations ruled
is to 2s per quarter lower than on Monday last.
The show of oats was' naoierate, and the trade ruled
heavy, at is per quarter less money.
There was very little inquiry for beans, the prices of
which, compared with Monday last, were is to 2s per
quarter lower.

We had a dill sale for peas, at la to 2s per quarter less

money.

The flour trade was heavy, at last Monday's decline in

price.

There was a very poor show of foreign stock in to-day's
market, and the supply of Irish was confined to 150 beasts

—partly via Liverpool.
With home•fed beasts we were tolerably well supplied
as to numbers, but the general quality of the arrivals was
not to say first-rate. All breeds, arising in some measure,
from the depressed state of trade in Newgato and Leaden-
hall, mot a very dull sale at Friday's decline in price of 2d
per albs. The top figure for beef was 4s 6d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,450 Scots and short horns ; from other parts of
Eugland, 400 of various breeds; and, from Scotland, 300
Scots.

Notwithstanding that the supply of sheep was but mo-
derate, both as to number and quality, the mutton trade
ruled heavy at 2d per 81bs beneath the prices current on
Monday last. The best old Downs sold at 4s 8d per 81bs.
The supply of calves was very limited, yet the veal trade
ruled heavy at 4tl. per Sibs beneath last Monday's cur-
rency. The top figure for veal was 5s 8d per 81b s.

We had a dull trade for pigs, at barely stationary prices.
