Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

There was not much activity in the demand for wheat in
the various local markets held on Saturday ; nevertheless,
all good and fine samples were rather dearer. Barley was
in good request, and the quotations had an upward ten-
dency. All other kinds of produce were steady, at previous
currencies.

In the continental markets only a limited business has
been passing in produce. Prices, however, have continued
steady, and the supplies on offer are seasonably extensive.
In the United States the demand for both wheat and flour
has been almost wholly confined to home wants.

The arrivals of English grain into the port of London
were very moderate. From abroad the imports were 17,744
qrs wheat, 6,775 barley, 6,145 oats, 4,780 beans, 190 peas,
6,303 linseed, 1,305 rapeseed, 1,550 sundry seeds, 2,397
sacks and 8,159 brls flour.

Very little English wheat was received fresh up to-day

from Essex coastwise or by land carriage, and the receipts
from Kent were only moderate, though somewhat in excess
of last week. Notwithanding that the stands were but
poorly supplied with samples, the demand for all kinds of
wheat of home produce was in a sluggish state. The
Essex samples were mostly disposed of at prices about
equal to Monday last, but the Kentish wheats were in
favour of buyers by from is to 2s per quarter.
There was a full average time of year supply of foreign
wheat on offer, fresh as well as ex granary. Sales of all
kinds progressed slowly, but we have no quotable change
to notice in prices.
Floating cargoes of grain commanded very little atten•
tion.

We were but moderately supplied with both English
and foreign barley. The barley trade ruled steady, at full
prices.
Malt moved off slowly, at last week's currency.
The show of oats was limited, and most kinds moved off
steadily, at Gd per qr more money.
We had a steady inquiry for beans, and late rates were
well supported.
Peas commanded quite as much money as of late.
The flour trade was by no means active. Prices, how-
ever, were well maintained.

The supplies of nearly all kinds of meat here, to-day,
were very extensive. The trade generally ruled heavy in
the extreme, and prices generally gave way 2d to 4d
per 8 lbs.

We had a very limited show of foreign stock in to-day's
market, and its general quality was by no means first-rate.
From our own grazing districts, as well as from Scot.
land, the arrivals of beasts fresh up.were seasonably good, .
both as to number and quality. Owing to large supplies of
meat being on sale in Newgate and Leadenhall, and to the
unfavourable change in the weather, all breeds met a very
dull inquiry, and prices declined, compared with Monday
last, fully 2d per 8 lbs. The extreme value for Soots was
4s 6d per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, &c., we received 1,200 Scots and
shorthorns ; from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and North-
amptonshire, 1,100 short-horns; from other parts of Eng.
laud, 310 of various breeds; from Scotland, 750 Scots;
and from Ireland, 340 oxen.
Notwithstanding that the supply of sheep was not to say .
extensive, the mutton trade was much depressed. The
priMeSu ~ old Downs fell quite 2s 2d, most other breeds 24
to 4d per 81bs, compared with Monday last. From Ireland
364 sheep came fresh to hand.
The supply of both English and foreign calves was
limited, yet the veal trade ruled heavy, and prices were
2d to 6,1 per 81bs lower than on this day se'nnight,
We have to report a heavy inquiry for pigs, at a fall in
value of fully 2d per 8 lbs.
