MARKET NEW 2. (1° tu Day

CORN EXCHANGE.
The lcaling country markets hold on Saturday were
fairly supplied with wheat, in which only a moderate busi-
ness was transacted, at about stationary prices. Fine
barley was very firm ; but inferior_ parcels __were a slow
inooiry. Other produce ruled about stationary.
Throughout the continent, very little change has taken
place in the value of produce. The American advices
come heavy for both wheat and flour, very limited sup-
plies of English grin C 9.2110 fresh to hand last week. The
imports were 9,923 quarters of wheat, 28,995 barley,
36,610 oats. 1,677 beans, 1,245 peas, 7,660 linseed, 4,950
rapeseed, 35 mustard seed, 77 sundry seeds, and 3,169
sacks of flour.
The supplies of English wheat received fresh up to-day
from Essex, Sent, &c, coastwise, were only moderate ;
and the snivels by laid carriage were limited, hence the
show of samples was small. Factors generally were firm
in their demands ; but the inquiry for all kinds of home-
grown wheat was ftr from active, at prices about equal to
those realised on Monday last.
There was a large quantity of foreign wheat, fresh as
well as ex granary, on the stands. Even the finest quali-
ties were a dull inquiry, but we have no change to notice
in prices.
Floating cargoes of grain sold at last week's prices.
Scarcely any English barley was in the market ; but the
supply of foreign was entensive. Good and useful qualities
sold steadily—other kinds slowly, at about last week's
currency.
We had a dull inquiry for nearly all kinds of malt, and
late rates were barely supported.
The supply of oats was large. Good sound corn sold at
full prices ; but inferior and damp parcels were rather
lower.
Both beans and peas were in short supply and steady
request, at full prices.
In the value of flour no change took place.

There was a very moderate supply of foreign stock here
to-day, and its general quality was inferior.
Although the arrivals .f beasts fresh up from our own
grazing districts were smaller than on Monday last, there
was little or no improvement in the demand for any breed.
In the quotations no change took place ; the top general
figure being 4s 4d per 81bs, and the various breeds came to
hand in fair saleable condition.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,550 Scots and shorthorns ; from other parts of
England, oof various breeds ; from Scotland, 110 Scots ;
and from Ireland, 29 oxen, Szo.
We were but moderately supplied with sheep, the general
quality of which was good. Prime Down qualities were
in fair request, at full prices, viz., 4s 41 to 4s 6d per Sibs
out of the wool ; otherwise, the mutton trade was in a
sluggish state, at last week's currency.
Lambs, the show of which was tolerably good, were in
fair request. at from 5s 8d to 6s 8d per Sibs. From the Isle
of Wight 400 head came to band.
We had a steady but by no means active demand for
calves ; the supply of which was moderate, at last week's
quotations.
There was very little business doing in pigs, at unaltered
currencies.
