THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

'CORN EXCHANGE.

Abotit an'average business was transacted in wheat in
most of the country markets held on Saturday, and prices
were well supported. Barley and oats were firm, and quite
as dear as in ,the previous week; but other articles were a
slow inquiry, at late currencies.
Throughout the Continent- wheat has moved off slowly,
but without much change in value. Spring corn has sold
somewhat steadily, at full quotations. In the United States
both wheat and flour have continued steady.
Tho supply of wheat received up to our market, last
week, coastwise, was on the increase. The imports from
abroad were 6,557 qrs. of wheat, 8,008 of barley, 41,628 oats,
815 rye, 3,380 beans, • 102 peas, 139 tares, 3,920 linseed,
4,455 rapeseed, 5 mustard seed, 132 sundry seeds, 1,769
sacks and 485 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to-day, both from Essex and Kent, a slightly
increased supply of wheat was received, coastwise and by
land carriage. Although the stands were by no means
extensively supplied with. samples, the demand for all
kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, and in some
instances, prices gave way is per quarter when compared
with this day se'nnight. The general quality of the supply
was indifferent.
The show of foreign wheat was. again extensive. Even
the finest samples met a dull enquiry, but, compared with
last week, no quotable change took place in prices.
Floating cargoes of grain were dull, but not cheaper.
Fine barley was scarce, and in steady request at full
prices. Grinding and distilling sorts were dull and the
turn lower.

a I

Malt was tolerably firm at previous currencies.
We were well supplied with oats. Good and fine samples
moved off slowly, on former terms, and inferior samples
were rather cheaper.
In beans very little business was transacted, and prices
were the turn lower.
Peas changed hands slowly, at a slight reduction in
value.
The flour trade was dull, at 'barely last week's quotations.

The supply of each kind of _foreign stock on offer to-day
was only moderate, and the demand for it ruled heavy, on
easier terms. Both the kasts and sheep were in very poor

condition.

Although the arrivals of home-fed beasts were rather
limited, we have to report a'very dull inquiry for all breeds,
and in some instances prices were 2d per 81bs lower than on
this day se'nnight.. A few very superior Scots sold at 4s
10d; but the, general top igure for beef was 4s 8d per 81bs.
The general quality of the supply was very middling.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 2,050 shorthorns; from other parts of
England, 400 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 150 Scots ;
and from Ireland, 600 oxen, &c.
Although the show of all breeds. of sheep was limited,
and its quality was inferior, the mutton trade ruled heavy
in the extreme, and in most transactions prices gave way
2d per Blbs. The extreme value of the best old Downs was
4s 10d per 81bs. Only about 350 Irish sheep were in the
market.

We were scantily suppliedwith calves ; nevertheless, the
veal trade ruled heavy, at a further decline in value of 2d
per Sibs., the top figure being 4s 6d.

The pork trade was mud- depressed, and prices wore
almost nominal.
