CORN EXCHANGE.

The provincial markets, held on Saturday, wore fairly
supplied with wheat for the time of year. For all kinds
the demand ruled heavy, and the quotations had a down-
ward tendency. Barley, and all other spring corn, as well
as flour, wore at slow inquiry.
The Continental markets have become rather heavy for
wheat; but spring corn has sold slowly. Our American
advices report dull markets for produce generally, with
steady shipments to England.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were moderate. From abroad we receive 18,998 qrs. of
wheat, 4,720 barley, 3),655 oats, 1,200 rye, 660 peas,
2,715 linseed, 3,070 rapeseed, 3,670 sundry, and 2,6:1
sacks of flour.

A few of last Iltonday's unsold samples of English wheat
were on offer here to-day ; but the receipts fresh up from
Kent, Essex, &c., coastwise and by land carriage, were
on a very limited scale. Notwithstanding that the stands
were scantily supplied, the demand for all kinds of wheat
of home produce was in a most depressed state, at a de-
cline in the quotations realised on this day se'nnight of
2e per quarter.

'1 here was a large quantity of foreign wheat on offer, chiefly
ex-ship. For all descriptions we had a heavy inquiry, and
the quotations were fully is to 2s per qr lower than on
Monday last.
Floating cargoes of grain were dull, and rather cheaper.
No English bsrley at market, and the supply of foreign
was only moderate. The demand was in a sluggish state,
at about last week's quotations.
in malt—the show of which was moderate—very little
was doing, at barely stationary prices.
Since SAturday rather a large quantity of foreign oats
has came to hand, and the oat trade was heavy, at 61 per
quarter less money...

Beans and peas sold at last Monday's currency; but flour
moved off heavily at is par 2801bs less money.

To-day's market was fairly supplied with foreign stock,
the general quality of which was very mid ?ling ; indeed
he supply was chiefly composed of sheep from Hamburg,
and oxen from Oporto.
There was a slight increase in the arrival of beasts fresh
up to-day from Norfolk, but the receipts from other quar-
ters were very limited. For all breeds the demand ruled
inactive, yet, compared with Monday last, no change took
place in the quotations. The general top figure for Scots
was 4s 4d, but a few very superior animals realised 4s 6d
per 81bs. The general weight and condition of the stock
were by no means heavy or inferior.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 3,000 Scots and short horns ; from other parts of
England, 20) of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 80
Scots.

Tiler., was a full average time-of-year supply of sheep in
the market, in mostly fair condition. The mutton trade
was far from active ; nevertheless, last Mon ,lay's currency
was supported. A few very superior Downs wero at 4s
10d per Sibs.

hai a good demand for lambs, at full quotations,
viz., 5s 8d to is per Blbs. About VO cane to hand from
the Isle of Wight.
Calves—the supply of which was good—sold slowly, at
Thursday's decline in value.
We had a dull inquiry for pigs, at lest week's currency
