CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the provincial markets held on Saturday were
but moderately supplied with wheat, in which only a
limited business was transacted, on rather lower terms.
All spring cons raoved off slowly, at about previous rates.
_ _

The value of both wheat and flour has a downward ten-
dency in the French markets, which continue to be well
supplied with all kinds of produce. The export trade in
the United States continues heavy.
About average supplies of home grown produce were
received up to our market last week. The imports from
abroad amounted to 13,564 quarters of wheat, 7,840 barley,
8,454 oats, 655 beans, about 22,000 of various sorts, 1,470
sacks and 700 barrels of flour.
The sapply of English wheat received fresh up to-day,
coastwise and by land carriage, from Essex and Kent, was
very moderate, and the receipts from the various other
counties were small. Notwithstanding that the show of
samples, both red and white, was limited, the demand for
all kinds was in a depressed state, and prices were 2s. to
Ss. per quarter lower than on Monday last. At that
amount of depression millers purchased cautiously.
There was a full average show of good and useful, as
well cs saleable, foreign wheats. Even the finest samples
met a very dull inquiry, and the quotations generally gave
way is to 2s per quarter.

In boating cargoes of grain very little was doing.
Fine malting barley supported previous rates ; but other
kinds were dull, on rather lower terms—viz., is to 2s per
quarter.

Ist malt very little was doing, on rather lower terms.
There was an unusual supply of oats iu the market.
Sound parcels sold at full prices, but damp qualities were
6d cheaper.

Beans ruled heavy at le per quarter less money.
Peas ruled heavy at barely late rates.
Flour sold slowly, and country marks were rather
cheaper.

From the above comparison, it will be seen that the total
arrivals of stock from abroad last week were on a very
moderate scale for the time of year.
The show of foreign stock here to-day was again very
limited, and its general quality was rather inferior.
Compared with Monday last, the arrivals of beasts from
oar own grazing districts were very moderate. The gene-
ral weight and condition of most breeds, however, were
tolerably good. Although the attendance of butchers was
rather on the increase, the beef trade was net very brisk;
nevertheless prices were 2d per 81bs higher than on this
day se'nnight, and at which a fair clearance was effected.
The best Soots sold at 4s per 81bs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire amounted to 1,560 Soots and short horns; from
other parts of England 950 of various breeds ; from Scot-
land 550 Scots ; and from Ireland 252 oxen.

With sheep we were again very scantily supplied. The
salesmen almost generally, demanded higher quotations,
in consequence of the shortness of the supply. In 130030
few instances a slight advance wati obtained for good and
prime sheep; but we have no actual change to notice in
the quotations realised on Monday last. The primest
Downs sold at 5s 2d per 81bs.

The few calves in the market were disposed of at full
prices, viz., 4s 2d to 5e 2d per Blbe.
We have to report a very slow inquiry for pigs, the sup-
ply of which was limited, at the late decline in value. Th e
top quotation was 44 6d per Blbs.
