THIS 1)4 I'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.
The leading country markets held on Saturday were
scantily supplied with wheat. Nearly all kinds were dis-
posed of at about previous quotations. There was very
little inquiry for either spring corn or flour; nevertheless,
• prices were mostly supported.
The continental markets have ruled heavy for wheat on
easier terms. In the United States produce generally con-
tinues to give way in price.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were limited. The imports from abroad were liberal, viz.,
17,032 qrs. wheat, 3,120 barley, 26,568 oats, 977 beans,
1,640 peas, 3,490 linseed, 13,570 oilseeds, 1,165 maize, 110
sundry seeds, and 2,279 sacks of flour.
Only a moderate supply of English wheat was received
fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land-carriage. Owing to
the commencement of harvest work in Essex and Kent, and
the continuance of remarkably fine weather, the demand for
all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, and some
few forced sales were effected at Is. to 2s. per quarter be-
neath last Monday's currency.
There was a large quantity of foreign wheat on offer, for
which the demand was heavy in the extreme, at almost
nominal quotations.
Floating cargoes of grain were very dull.
We had a slow inquiry for barley, at late rates. A
parcel of new barley, of thin quality, was offering.
The malt trade was very dull, and inferior qualities of
malt were freely offered on lower terms.
The quantity of oats on the stands was large, and the
oat trade ruled heavy, on rather easier terms.
Beans were very dull, at barely last w3ek's currency.
New white peas were disposed of at 435, and new grey
at 37s per quarter.
Flour was dull, at barely the late decline in value.

The accounts from our own grazing districts in reference
to the general health of the stock are very favourable. In
Holland the mouth and foot disease amongst beasts is
rapidly subsiding .
The show of foreign sheep in to-day's market was large •,
of beasts, lambs, and calves, moderate. Sales progressed
slowly, at barely late rates.
About an average supply of beasts was received fresh
up this morning from our own grazing districts, in good
condition. The attendance of butchers was small, and the
beef trade ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations com-
pared with Monday last of 2d per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 1,600 short-horns and crosses; from Nor-
folk and Cambridgeshire, 800 Scots, short-horns, and
crosses ; from other parts of England, 800 of various breeds ;
from Scotland, 150 Scots ; and from Ireland, 480 oxen and
heifers.

There was a large number of sheep on offer. All kinds
were in very moderate request ; nevertheless, in most in-
stances, last week's currency was supported. The general
top figure for Downs was 4s 10d per 81bs.
We were well supplied with lambs, yet the demand for
them was steady, at full quotation.- About 1,800 came to
hand from Ireland. •

Calves, the show of whichwas tolerably good, sold slowly
at late rates.
We had a dull sale for pigs on former terms.

The supplies of home-grown potatoes are very large, and
the demand for them is heavy, at from 60s to 90s per ton.
There are no foreign potatoes on offer.
WOOL MARKET. •
There is a full average business doing in most kinds of
-English wool, at an advance in the quotations of fully 2d
per lb. In foreign and colonial parcels, as the public sales
will commence on Thursday next, very little is passing, on
former terms. Last week's imports were 2,281 bales from
Sydney, 73 from Port Phillip, 566 from Algoa Bay, 22
from Swan River, 63 from the Cape, 321 from Port Beau-
fort, and 310 from Cronstadt.

SEEDS.
The demand for linseed has been somewhat restricted.
and prices have ruled a shade easier. Rapseed has been in
fair request at full quotatians. Canary and all other seeds
continue dull. Cakes are a slow inquiry, at barely late
rates.
