CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the provincial markets held on Saturday were
but moderately supplied with wheat ; nevertheless, the
demand for all kinds ruled very inactive, and prices had a
downward tendency. Fine barley mostly supported pre-
vious rates, but other kinds were dull and drooping. All
other kinds moved off slowly, at about previous rates.
On the Continent, and more especially in the northern
parts, scarcely any business has been passing in grain on
English account. In prices, however, very few changes
have taken place. The American markets continua rather
heavy.
The arrivals of home-grown produce in the port of Lon•
don, last week, were very moderate ; but tho imports from
abroad were liberal, viz. :-15,488 qrs. of wheat, 11,"i-
-barley, 17,565 oats, 2,395 rye, 3,870 beans, 45 -tU
tares, 4,350 linseed, 1,157 rapeseed, 10 sun(' s, and
1,686 sacks of flour.
Fresh up to-day, from Essex and Kent, ar. I vals of
wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, war y moderate.
From the various other counties, the recei, were not in
excess of last week ; consequently the show samples was
small. The attendance of both town and ntry millers
was limited; the demand for all kinds of - at of home
produce was in a sluggish state, and in some as prices
were the turn in favour of buyers.
We were well supplied with foreign wl ood and
fine dry samples were mostly disposed of at Jonday's
currency ; but other qualities ruled hem turn
lower.

Thera was only a limited inquiry for tor of
grain.
Fine malting barley was in moderate request, L•k r
terms. Grinding and distilling sorts were very dun,
last Monday's decline in values
The malt trade was heavy, and inferior kinds of mai%
were rather cheaper.
Oats, the supply of which was tolerably good, were in
fair request, at last week's prices.
Beans moved off slowly anti prices were rather lower.
in the value of peas no change took place.
We have to report a slow inquiry for country flour, at
barely last week's quotations. Town-made qualities have
fallen 4s per 2801bs.

There was an unusually small sapply of foreign stock in
our market to-day ; yet so few sales were effected that
prices were almost nominal.
Although the show of home-fed beasts was by no means
extensive, we have to report a very inactive demand for
all breeds, at prices barely equal to Monday last. It must
be understood that the extreme value of the best lots wee
4s 6d per 8 lbs. In the general quality of the beasts "Ir•
noticed some improvements.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,560 Scots and shorthorns ; from Lincolnshire and
the Mialand districts, 550 shorthorns, Etc ; from other parts
of England, 350 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 858
Scots ; and from Ireland, 350 oxen. There were, likewise,
400 beasts in the market left over from Friday last.
Not withstanding that the show of sheep was very limited,
though in fair average condition, the mutton trade ruled
very dull. Long-woolled qualities especially were heavy in
the extreme. Last week's prices were with difficulty sup•
ported, and the top prices for the best old Downs was 552 d
per 8 lbs. From Leland 400 sheep were on sale.
Calves were in moderate supply and heavy request at
Friday's decline in value of 2s per 81b. The top figure was
5s 2d per 8 lbs.
There was scarcely any business doing in pigs, at further
depressed rates.
The general heaviness In the trade here to-day is chiefly'
attributed to the large supplies of country-killed meaty
which continue to reach Newgateand Leadenhall markets.

NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.
These markets continue to be liberally supplied with
country-killed meat, but the supplies on offer slaughtero;
in the metropolis are by no means extensive. In the v's
lo
of beef and mutton we have very little change to notice
but veal and pork are giving way in price,

There is still a good consumptive demand for good

WOOL.
Since Monday last the inquiries for English wool WO
further increased, but they have led to very little busi-
ness, and the quotations rule almost nominal. Fine colo-
nial wools move off steadily, at very full prices. All other
kinds continue extremely heavy. Last week's imports
were only 100 bales from the Continent. The stooks here
are rather heavy for the time of year.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Coastwise, and by land carriage, very moderate supPl?2,
of potatoes have come to hand since Monday last, and bu_,,
imports-from abroad have been rather limited, viz., 2 taw
from Rotterdam, 516 tons from Rouen, 30 tone frolna
Autwerp, 137 tons from Calais, 3 tons from Ostend, and
247 to..s front Dunkirk. Selected samples are dearer, an
