CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
but moderately supplied with wheat, for which the de-
mand ruled inactive, at about stationary prices. Barley
and all other spring corn supported previour rates.
Flour met a slow sale.

Very little change has taken place in the value of
wheat throughout the Continent. In the United States
both wheat awl flour have realised fall quotations.
Only moderate supplies of Euglish grain were received
up to our market last week. From abroad the imports
were 16,701 quarters of wheat, 7,993 b Arley, 91,913 oats,
725 beans, 1,215 peas, 325 lir,seed, 5,075 oil seeds, 25
sundry seeds, and 10 srcks of flour.

Fresh up, to-day, about 203 quarters of new English
wheat came to hand from Essex and Kent. The condition
of the Talavira samples was good, and the prices realised
were 565. to 58s. per quarter. Other kinds of new wheat
were not to say of first-rate quality, and they changed
hand) at 503. to 545. per quarter. The arrival of old
wheat was very moderate ' • nevertheles, all descriptions
moved off slowly, at prices barely e ival to those realised
on Monday last.
There was a very large supply of Foreign wheat on offer.
All kinds met a very dull inquiry, and late rates were with
difficulty supported.
In floating cargoes of grain very little was passing. New
English barley changed hands at 38s. to 425. per quarter ;
but most of the samples were stoadyand light. Old parcels
were in fair request at full prices.
Malt was in moderate supply, and sluggish request, at
late rates.

An immense supply of oats was on show ; hence, the oat
trade was lass active, at Ca pc quarter under last week's
quotations. _

Beans were in short supply and steady request, at full
prices.

Peas ruled steady. New grey sold at 40s to 42s ; new
white, 44s to 46s per quarter.
A few parcels of new rye changed hands at 31s to 36s
per quarter.
The flour trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms.

There was rather an extensive show of foreign stocks in
to•day's market, but its general quality was inferior.
From our own grazing districts, tho arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning were seasonably good as to number,
but deficient in quality. For all kinds of beasts we expe-
rienced a very inactive demand, and last week's prices
were with difficulty supported. The Norfolk season for
beasts may now ba considered closed.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton.
shire, we received 2,100 short horns; from Norfolk, 230
Scots and short-horns ; from other parts of England, 400
of various kinds; from Scotland, 110 Scots; aid from
Ireland, 1M oxen.

There was a large show of sheep. Prime Downs and
half-brads were in fair request, at full quotations; other-
wise, the mutton trale ruled heavy, and prices gave way
2d per 81bs.
Lambs—the supply of which was good—met a dull
inquiry, at prices barely equal to Monday last. About
600 Irish sheep and lambi were on sale.

The few English salves in the market sold at full prices.
Foreign calves were dull, and the turn lower, owing to
large arrivals.

We had ,a heavy inquiry for pigs—the supply of wbich
was good—at previous rates.

NEWGA.TR AND LBADENHALL.
For the time of year those markets are well supplied
with meat. Prime beef, mutton, and lamb are in steady
iequest, at very full prices. Otherwise, the trade is in
a very insotive state.
