CORN EXCHANGE.

Nearly the whole of the country markets held on Satur-
day were but moderately supplied with wheat, yet the
demand for most kinds ruled very inactive,
and prices
gave way is to 2s per quarter. Fine barley was ja re
quest, at full quotations, and oats were rather dtMrer.
In other produce very little was doing.
On the continent very little change has taken place in
the value of either grain or flour. In the United States
the export demand for wheat and flour has continued
heavy.

Only moderate supplies of English produce were re-
ceived up to our market last week. The imports from
abroad were liberal, viz., 11,197 quarters of wheat, 17,883
barley, 16,180 oats, 4,065 beans, 8 peas, 325 linseed, 2,63)
rapeseed, 300 sundry seeds. 2,917 sacks and 9,20:. barrels
of flour.

The quantity of wheat received fresh up, to-day, coast-
wise and by land carriage, from Essex, was very limited.
Compared with Monday last, the receipts from Kent were
rather on the increase. The attendance of both town and
country millers was very moderate, and the demand for
all kinds was in a sluggish state. Most of the finest wheats
sold at prices equal to this day week ; but low and mid-
dling samples moved off slowly, at less money, viz., is to
2s per quarter.

We were well supplied with foreign wheat, fresh as well
as ox-granary. White samples moved off slowly, on former
terms; but inferior red qualities were lower to purchase,
by is per q/..

The supply of foreign barley was extensive, and most
kinds sold slowly, at is to quite 2s per qr less money.
We had a dull inquiry for malt, and last week's prices
were with difficulty supported.
There was only a limited supply of oats in the market,
and the oat, trade ruled steady, at fully last week's im-
provement in value.
Beans were in moderate supply and fair request, at full
prices.
Peas supported last week's currency ; but the demand
was far from active.

Flour sold slowly, but we have no change to notice in
As value.

The show of each kind of foreign stock in to•day's mar-
ket was very moderate.
About average supplies of beasts were received up to our
market this morning from our own grazing districts, as
well as from Scotland, for the time of year ; but, compared
with Monday last, their condition was inferior. Notwith-
standing that the weather has become colder, the demand
for all breeds of beasts was in a sluggish state, at last
week's decline in value. The top figure for Scots was
4s 6d per 81138... _ _

From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,860 Scots and short horns ; from Lincolnshire
and the Midland counties, 800 short horns ; from other
parts of England, 400 various breeds; from Saotland, 700
Stets ; and from Ireland 400 oxen.
We were again very moderately supplied with sheep,
the general quality of which was by no means first-rate.
Nearly all breeds met a slow inquiry ; but we have no
change to notice in prices. The best old Downs sold at
5s 4d per 81bs. From Ireland, 600 sheep came fresh up to
hand. _

Calves, the supply of which was limited, sold steadily,
at Friday's improvement in value, of 4d per 81bs. The
best quality of veal realised 5s 4d per 81bs.

The pork trade ruled heavy, and, in some instances,
prices had a down ward tendency.
