THIS DAY'S MARKETS'.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supplies of wheat on offer in the leading country
markets held on Saturday were only moderate; neverthe-
less, both red and and white qualities moved off slowly ant
inferior samples were somewhat lower in price. Most kinds
of spring corn met a dull inquiry at barely provious rates.
Throughout the Continent, wheat has continued in ac-
.

tire request, on English acceunt, at extreme quotations.
Spring corn and flour have sold readily at very full prices.
In the United States, the markets contiuue to be well sup-
plied.

Only moderate supplies of English produce came to hand
last week ; but the imports from abroad were extensive,
viz., 32,563 quarters of wheat, 7,904 barley, 95,832 oats,
1,300 beans, 1,100 peas, 349 tares, 14,680 linseed, 8,300
rapeseed, 395 sundry seeds, and 5,527 sacks of flour.
Fresh up to-day, both from Essex and Kent, a very
moderate supply of wheat came to hand, coastwise and by
land carriage ; hence the show of samples was rather
limited. Good and us eful qualities moved off slowly, at
last Monday's currency ; but all other kinds were a dull
inquiry, and in some instances the quotations ruled the
turn in favour of buyers. At the close of the market prices
gave way is to 2s per qr.
We were well supplied with most descriptions of foreign
wheat. The business doing was much restricted ; never-
theless, late rates were supported. Floating cargoes sold
slowly, nevertheless, prices ruled steady.
Most kinds of barley moved off slowly, at last Monday's
quotations. Very little was on offer.
Malt—the show of which was limited—changed hands
slowly, at late rates.

We were heavily supplied with foreign oats, which moved
off slowly at 6d to is per quarter less money.
Beans were in moderate request,at last week's quotations.
No change took place in the value of peas.
The flour trade was very inactive, at about last week's
quotations. The transactions generally were much re-
stricted.

The show of foreign stock here to-day was moderate, ;;d
sales progressed slowly, on rather easier terms. From our
own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up were
again rather limited, and in but middling condition. The
weather being very wet, the attendance of buyers was less
numerous, aid the demand for all kinds ruled somewhat
heavy, at a decline in the quotations realised on Monday
last of 2d per 81bs. The best Scots sold at 5s 6d per 81bs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire comprised 2,000 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses;
from other parts of England 450 various breeds, and from
Scotland 4e Scots and crosses.

The show of sheep was again very moderate. The best
Downs and half-breds were in fair request at full quota-
tions, but other kinds moved off slowly at barely late rates.
Lambs, the supply of which was tolerably good, were very
dull, and 4d to Gd per 81bs cheaper. The top figure was
6s Gd.

We were fairly supplied with calves, which changed
hands steadily, at full quotations.
The pork trado was heavy, yet in most transactions prices
were sapported.
