CORN EXCHANGE.

The country markets held on Saturday were scantily
supplied, which sold steadily, at is to 2s per quarter more
money. Barley and oats were the turn dearer, and the
value of other articles had an upward tendency.
On the Continent the corn trade has assumed more firm-
ness, and wheat has improved in value is to fully 2s per
quarter. Spring corn, too, has sold on higher terms.
The arrivals of English produce into the port of London
last week were very limited, but the imports from abroad
were liberal, viz., 13,576 qrs wheat, 11,734 barley, 31,319
oats, 20 rye, 1,177 beans, 1,570 pees, 4,705 linseed, 2,690
rapeseed, 20 sundry seeds, and 203 sacks of flour.
Fresh up to-day, from Kent, about an average-time-of-
year supply of wheat came to hand; but the receipts from
Essex were very limited. The attendance of buyers was
on the increase, and there:was a steady, though not to say
brisk demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce at an
advance in the quotations realised on Monday last of 2s
per quarter. At that amount of improvement there were
buyers from the country.

We were well supported with all kinds of foreign wheat.
Good and fine samples sold steadily, at an improvement in
value of 2s, and inferior parcels were is per quarter dearer
than on this day se'nnight.

Floating cargoes of grain were in improved request, at
very full prices.

Most kinds of barley sold to a fair extent, and the quo-
tations were well supported. Malt was, likewise, firm, but
not dearer.

Owing to an export demand, the oat trade was brisk,
and prices were is. to 2s. per quarter higher than on Mon-
day last.

The few beans in the market sold readily, at Is. to 2s.
per quarter more money.

Peas were in good request at ls. to 2s. per quarter ad-
vance.

There was an improved inquiry for flour, and country
marks were ls. per 2801bs. dearer. Town made flour ad-
vanced 35., or to 435. per 2801bs.

We had a fair show of foreign stock in to-day's market
as to number, but its general quality was very inferior.
Prices, consequently, ruled low.

For the time of year the receipts of beasts fresh up from
our own grazing dist, jets were moderately good. The
condition of the stock, however, was very middling. With
the exception of the primast Sects and short-horns being
in moderate request at full prices, the beef trade ruled
heavy at barely last week's currenties.

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, wo
received 2,330 Scots and short-horns; from Lincolnshire,
7SO shorthorns; from other parts of England, 200 of 'ca-
tions kinds; and, froth Scotland, 27 Scots.
Owing to the scarcity of grass in the pastures, there was
a considerable increase of sheep in but. middling condition.
The demand for all kinds was in a depressed state, at a
decline in the quotations of from 2d to 4d per 81bs. The
top figure for the best Downs was 4s 6d per 81bs.
There was a large number of lambs in the market, and
the lamb trade was, consequently, heavy, at from 6d to
101 per 81bs beneath last Monday's quotations.
The show of English calves was limited, of foreign very
extensive, and the veal trade was very inactive, at 2d per
81bs lees money.

Pigs—the supply of which was good, sold slowly at
former terms.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
. .

The imports of foreign potatoes last week were only
1,2 A baskets from Rotterdam. rTho supplies of English
continue moderate, and a steady business is doing in them
at from Cs to IGs par cwt. The accounts respecting the
appearance of the crop are very favourable.
