CORN EXCHANGE.

There was a slight improvement in the deman I fat
wheat in the country markets held on Saturday. In price,;,
however, very little change took place. Spring corn, tb e
supplies of which were moderate, was in fair request, 'at
tho late decline.

Most of the continental markets continue dull for wherrt,
yet the decline in price has not been extensive. NC"!
York letters state that about an average export business
was transacted.

Very moderate supplies of home grown produce were
received up to our market last week. The imports from
abroad were 6,950 quarters of wheat, 2,323 oats, 6,634
beans, 113 tares, 5,125 linseed, 5,765 rapeseed, 469 snisdry
seeds, and 1,790 sacks of flour.
The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to day, coastwise,
were but moderate and mostly in damp condition. By
land-carriage, the supply was rather limited. The aggre-
gate show of samples was by no means large, and factors
generally were firm in their demands. The among t of
business doing in all kinds however was small, wit pout
loading to any quotable change in the prices realised on
Monday last.
We were fairly supplied with most descriptions of
foreign wheat. The demand o'as almost wholly contined
to small parcels for immediate use, at last week's currency.
In floating cargoes, very little was doing on foitmer
terms.
The show of English barley was moderately good, and
the trade ruled somewhat active, at an improvemenit in
the quotations of is per quarter.
The demand for malt was heavy, but no change took
place in its value.
Oats moved off slowly, yet previous rates were suppc rted.
There was a moderate inquiry for beans, at last week's
quotations.
White peas realised an advance of 2e. per quarter. Grey
and maple qualities were unaltered.
The flour trade was slow, at last Monday's decline in
price.

The supply of foreign stock here to•day was very limited,
and in poor condition.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
put up this morning were unusually small, and the quality
of most breeds was not to say first-rate. The beef trade
was decidedly brisk, at an advance in the quotations real-
ised on Monday last of 4d per 81bs. The best Scots were
worth fully 4s 10d per 81bs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire
were 1,800 Soots and short-horns ; from other parts of
England 400 of various kinds; and from Scotland 300
Scots.

We were rather scantily supplied with most kinds of
sheep, in but middling condition. The mutton trade ruled
brisk, and the quotations improved 4d. per 81135. The
best old Downs were worth 5s per Slbs.
There was less activity in the veal trade than on Friday,
yet prices were supported. The primest veal realised 6s
per Sibs. _ _ _

Pigs were in moderate supply and fair request at full
prices.
The supply of Irish stock in the market was very limited,
viz.-42 sheep and 12 beasts.
