CORN EXCHANGE,

There 'was only • moderate demand for wheat in the
leading country markets held on Saturday. In the general
quotatiom. however, very little change took place. Barley
changed hands steadily at. extreme rates. Oats and other
produce moved off slowly.
Adsices from most peril of the Continent are to the
bffeot tb grain generally has sold heavily, at barely sta-
tionary prices. In the United States, wheat and flour
have ruled about stationary.
Only limited supplies of English grail came fresh to
hand last week. The imports from abroad were 2,67 E qra
of wheat, 8,378 barley, 4,635 oats, 5 beans, 1,580 linseed,
2,670 rapeseed, 90 sundry seeds, and 2,441 sacks of flour.
The quantity of wheat received fresh up b-day, coastwise
and by land carriage, from Essex and Kent, was very mo-
derate, and the receipts from. other counties were small.
The show of samples was consequently limited. Notwith-
standing that the attendance of both town and country
millers was
were
srneoitn fairlarger,engeuaerslty, all kinds of wheat of home
produce
and in almost
transac-
tion last Monday's currency wasanpporte "
d. Theery general
quality of the samples was good.
The supply of foreign wheat was limited—of granaried
samples rather extensive. Good and fine qualities were in
request, at fall quotation' ; but low and damp parcels met
a dull inquiry, at barely late rates.
There was very little inquiry for floating cargos of
grain.

The sapply of English bailey was very limited—of
foreign moderate. All kinds were in steady request, at
fully last week's quotations.
Malt was in moderate supply, and sluggiell request, at
barely late rates.
Notwithstanding that the show of oats was very
moderate, the oat trade was rather heavy on former
terms.

We had a steady demand for beans at full quotations.
Peas were in fair request on former terms.
There was about an average business doing in flour,
4 fall prices.

There was a very poor show of each kind of foreign stock
in to-day's market, but the demand for it ruled heavy.
Compared with Monday last, there was a considerable
falling off in the arrivals of beasts from our grazing dis-
tricts, as well as from Scotland. Although the attendance
of butchers was by no means numerous, the beef trade
ruled steady, and prices advanced, compared with Monday
last, 2d per Sibs. The best Scots changed hands steadily,
at 4. 6d per 8113 s. The general quality of the beasts was
good.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 2,100 Scots and short horns, from other parts of
England 300 of various breeds, from Scotland 400 Soots,
and from Ireland 200 oxen.
Notwithstanding that the show of sheep was again
limited, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, at last
week's currency. The top quotations for the best Downs
was 5s 2d per 81bs. About 400 shorn sheep were on offer;
they sold at 6d to 8d per 81bs beneath those in the wool.
A. few Dorset lambs were on sale, but, owing to the pre-
vailing cold weather, they met a dull inquiry, at irregular
quotations.
The supply of calves was limited, nevertheless, the veal
trade ruled heavy, at last week's quotations.
In pigs, the show of which was small, very little was
doing, at almost nominal currencies.

BOROUGH HOP.
We continue to have a very moderate demand for even
tine best hops, but without leading to
any change in the

barely stationary prices. Last week's imports were 95

WOOL.
The public sales of wool have been commenced, with
too2ti:rd
wools
scarcely any foreign buyers in attendance, and only a
moderate number from our manufacturing dietriets. Good
and fine Australian wools have realised an advance of id
to 1,1 per lb. In the value

taken place compared with the former series. Australian

ruled inactive, at a decline of 2s to 41. per cwt. In trefoil

off slowly, at late rates. Cakes are in fair request, at full
prices.
