MARKET NEWS.-(ThiS Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
Tha leading country markets, held on Saturday, were
but moderately supplied with wheat, which sold lowly,
at a slight reduction in prices. For barley and spring
corn there was a fair demand, at fall quotations; but flour
met a slow sale.

Most of the country markets were very inactive for
wheat. Other produce, however, has sold at previous
rates. The shipments to England continue on a full ave•
rage scale.

Up to our market [last week, the arrivals of English
grain were on a very limited scale. From abroad we re-
coiv.d 23,987 qrs. of wheat, 10,704 barley, 60,621 oats, 730
been, 1,886 peas, 720 linseed, 1,421 rapeseed, 10 mustard,
718 sundry, 285 sacks and 11,154 brls. of flour.
The arrivals of English wheat fresh up this morning,
coastwise and by land carriage, were on a very moderate
scale. Notwithstanding that the show of samples of both
red and white was rather limited, the demand for all kinds
ruled heavy, and in most transactions prices were 2s per
quarter lower than on this day se'nnight. There was no
new wheat in the market, but harvest work will be com-
menced, both in Kent and Essex, on Thursday next.
We were extensively supplied with all kinds of foreign
wheat. The demand ruled heavy, and prices were fully is
per quarter lower than on Monday last.
In floating cargoes of grain very little business was
transacted.

A sample of new English barley—small, but in nice con.
dition—was on offer at 40s per quarter. The show of
foreign was good, and most kinds sold on former terms.
There was only a limited inquiry for malt, at last week's

There was a large show of foreiga oats, yet the oat trade
ruled firm, at very full prices.
Beans were in short supply and good request, on rather
higher terins.

The
sa!e for peas was steady, at extreme rates. A sample
of new white peas was on sale in fair condition. They were
worth about 45s per qr.
The flour trade was heavy, and prices were the turn
lower.

New rapeseed was on offer, and for wbich 341. per last
was bid.

Since the late fine rains the supply of food in the pas'
tures has considerably increased. We may, therefore, an'
ticipete the arrival of a much smaller number of half-fat
stock than during the greater portion of last month.
There was rather a large show of foreign stack in to-daY'l
market, but its general quality was inferior, consequentlf
the prices realised were very low.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of WOO
fresh up this morning, were seasonably good, both as to
number and quality. For all breeds we hal a dull inquirfo
and, in some instances, prices were 2d par 8 lbs. lower than
on Monday last. The fall, however, was almost whollf
confined to the inferior kinds.

The arrivals from Lincolnshire and Leicestershiro
amounted to 1,500 short horns; from Norfolk au I Sof'
folk, 1,450 Scots and short, horns, from other parts of Ear
land, 22) of various breeds from Scotland, 65 Scots, anti'
from Ireland, 100 oxen.

Compared with Monday last, the show of sheep was °nit
moderate, though seasonably good. However, the bulk 40
the supply was inferior. On the whole the mutton trade
ruled steady, and prices generally were well supported.
Lambs, the supply of which was somewhat extensile,
were in fair request, at full quotations. About 1,100 °ea°
to hand from Ireland.
Wo wore well supplied with calves which moved og
slowly, at last Monday's currency.
In pigs very little was doing, at late rates. The sUPP/i
was tolerably extensive.
