CORN ZXCHANGE.

Most of the provincial markets held on Saturday mese
but moderately supplied with wheat, in which only s
limited business was transacted, on rather lower terms.
All spring corn moved off slowly, at about previous rates,

The value of both wheat and flour has a downward ten-
dency in the French markets, which continue to be well
supplied with all kinds of produce. The export trade in
the United States continues heavy.
About average supplies of home grown produce were
received up to our market last week. The imports from
abroad amounted to 13,564 quarters of wheat, 7,840 barley,
8,454 oats, 655 beans; about 22,000 of various sorts, 1,470
sacks and 700 barrels of flour.
The supply of English wheat received fresh up to-day,
coastwise and by land carriage, from Essex and Bent, was
very moderate, and the receipts from the various other
counties were small. Notwithstanding that the show of
samples, both red and white, was limited, the demand for
all kinds was in a depressed state, and prices were 2s. to
3s. per quarter lower than on Monday last. At that
amount of depression millers purchased cautiously.
There was a full average show of good and useful, as
well as saleable, foreign wheats. Even the finest samples
met a very dull inquiry, and the quotations generally gave
way is to 2s per quarter.
In floating cargoes of grain very little was doing.
Fine malting barley supported previous rates ; but other
kinds were dull, on rather lower terms—viz., is to 2s per
quarter.

In malt very little was doing, on rather lower terms.
There was an unusual supply of oats in the market.
Sound parcels sold at full prices, but damp qualities were
6d cheaper.

Beans ruled heavy at le per quarter less money.
Peas ruled heavy at barely late rates.
Flour sold slowly, and country marks were rather
cheaper.

From the above comparison, it will be seen that the total
arrivals of stock from abroad last week were on a very
moderate goal. for the time of year.
The show of foreign stock here to-day was again very
limited, and its general quality was rather inferior.
Compared with Monday last, the arrivals of beasts from
oar own grazing districts were very moderate. The gene-
ral weight and condition of most breeds, however, were
tolerably good. Although the attendance of butchers was
rather on the increase, the beef trade was not very brisk;
nevertheless prices were 2d per 81bs higher than on this
day se'nniglit, and at which a fair clearance was effected.
The best Scots sold at 4s per 81bs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshite amounted to 1,560 Scots and short horns; from
other parts of England 950 of various breeds ; from Scot-
land 550 Scots ; and from Ireland 252 oxen.
With sheep we were again very scantily supplied. The
salesmen almost generally, demanded higher quotations,
in consequence of the shortness of the supply. In some
few instances a slight advance was obtained for good and
prime sheep; but we have no actual change to notice in
the quotations realised on Monday last. The primest
Downs sold at 5s 2d per 81bs.

The few calves in the market were disposed of at full
prices, viz., 4s 2d to 5s 2d per 81bs.
We hays to report a very slow inquiry for pigs, the sup-
ply of which was limited, at the late deoline in value. The
top quotation was 4s 6d per 81bs.

the previnces, were on a very extensive scale ; but those
on offer killed in the metropolis were but moderate. The
trade generally heavy, and last week's prices were barely
supported.

BOROUGH HOP.
We continue to have a fair demand for good and fine
hops, at full prices, and a few speculative transactions are
reported in yearlings. The trade, generally speaking,
however, is not brisk and the supplies of hops are season-
ably large. Last week's imports were 196 bales from
Hair!bro', and 75 from Boulogne.
Mid and East Kent Pockets 70s to 120 s ; New Weald of
Kent do., 56s to 708 j New Susses do., 52s to 63e ; Year-
lings, 21. to 50d.

WOO.
Although the Liverpool woo sales have gone off briskly,
at full prices to an advance of 2d per lb. in the value of
Australian qualities, our market still continuos in a quiet
state. A few parcels of fine wool have found buyers, at
full quotations. In other ualities scarcely any transac-
tions have taken place. Last week's imports were 780
bales from the Ca
pe, 366 from Algoa Bay, 30 from Callao,
end 127 from Hambroi.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.

Only moderate supplies of potatoes continue to reach
these markets coastwise and by railway. The imports

Louvain, 324 tons from Roueu, 67 tons from Calais, 110
