CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading con 'ry markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat in somewhat improved con-
dition. GIL the whole, demand ruled steady at full prices.
The barley trade was rather active at extreme rates. In
the value of other produce no change took place.
Throughout the Continent wheat has continued to move
off slowly. Spring corn, however, has commanded very full
prices. The tiansactions in wheat for export purposes in
the United States have not increased.

The arrivals of English produce up to our market last
week were very moderate. From abroad the imports were
680 quarters of wheat, 15,326 barley, 11,455 oats, 628 beans,
26 peas, 760 tares, 4,910 linseed, 2,352 rapeseed, 421 sun-
' dry seeds, and 672 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to-day the arrivals of English wheat were only
moderate, but we observed an improvement in the general
condition of both red and white qualities. Notwithstand-
ing that the show of samples was rather limited, millers
generally showed no disposition to purchase beyond imme-
diate wants. The trade, therefore, was somewhat inactive,
nevertheless, osmpared with Monday last, no quotable
change took place in prices.
We were again well supplied with foreign wheat. The
transactions in most kinds were comparatively small. In
prices, however, no change took place.
The inquiry for floating cargoes, off Falmouth, was some-
what restricted at late rates.

There was a good demand for most kinds of barley, and,
owing to the want of fine samples, secondary descriptions
were rather dearer than on Monday last.
We have to report a dull sale for most kinds of malt, and
inferior parcels were the turn cheaper.
Oats, the supply of which was moderate, moved off
steadily, at full prices.
Both beans and peas were in short supply and steady
request, at extreme rates.
Flour sold at late currencies, but the demand for it was
by no means active.

The show of foreign stock in to-day's market was very
moderate, and in but middling condition. Sales progressed
slowly, on former terms.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up were by no means extensive ; but their general
quality was tolerably prime. For all breeds there was a
fair, but by no means active, inquiry, at last week's cur-
rency. The primest Scots and crosses sold at 4s. 10d. per
81bs. The trade closed flatly.

The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam
bridgeshire amounted to about 1,800 Scots, crosses, &o.;
from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds; from
Scotland, 450 Scots and crosses; and, from Ireland, 12
heifers.

With most breeds of sheep we were rather scantily sup-
plied, even though the number was slightly on the increase.
Compared with this day se'nnight no change took place in
the quotations. The mutton trade, though healthy, was
far from active. The best old Downs sold at ss. 6d. per
Sibs. There were about 200 clipped sheep on offer.
Although the supply of calves was very moderate, the
veal trade ruled somewhat heavy, and late rates were barely
supported.
On the whole, the pork trade was steady, at last week's
quotations.
