THIS DAPS MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.
The leading country markets held on Satifrday were but
moderately supplied with wheat. For all 'kinds, however,
the demand ruled heavy and prices had a drooping ten-
dency. Barley realised previous rates, bu t the transactions
in it were limited. Oats and all other
.zpring corn met a
dull inquiry.
'Throughout the continent wheat and flour have sold
slowly on easier terms. Spring corn has supported previous
rates In America produce general,ly has beenquoted at
drooping prices. q
Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain
were limited. From abroad the supplies were liberal, viz.,
21,634 quarters of wheat, 4,163 of barley, 19,863 oats, 41
45 peas, 1,190 linseed, 3,385 rapeseed, 10 sundry seeds,
13,260 sacks, and 711 barrels of flour.
The supply of English wheat received fresh up to-day,
coastwise and by land carriage, was very moderate.
Although the show of samples was comparatively small,
the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled
very inactive, In prices, however, compared with Mon-
day last, no quotable change took place. The general
quality of the samples was tolerably good.
There was rather a large supply of foreign wheat on offer.
Fine dry samples of both red and white were held at very
full prices, but the demand for them was by no means ac-
tive. Low and damp parcels moved off heavily, on former
terms.
The demand for floating cargoes was heavy.
Barley, the supply of which was limited, changed hands
slowly but prices were supported.
We have to report a dull sale for malt, on former terms.
Good sound oats were in fair request at full prices. Low
and damp qualities were dull, but not cheaper.
Beans were very scarce and quite as dear as last week. -
In peas very little was passing on former terms.
The flour trade was in a sluggish state, but no change
took place in value.

Very few foreign beasts or calves were on oar in to-
day's market, but the show of sheep from Germany was
rather extensive. Sales progressed steadily, and prices had
an upward tendency.
From our own ,razing districts the arrivals of beasts
were moderate, compared with last week ; but their general
quality was tolerably good. For most breeds the demand
ruled steady, but by no means active, and in some instances
prices were a shade higher than last week—the primest
Scots and crosses having sold at 4s 8d per 81bs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Snffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire amounted to 2,150 Scots, shorthorns, and cros-
ses ; from other parts of England 400 of various breeds ;
from Scotland 170 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland 90
oxen, &c.

There was a material falling off in the supply of sheep
when compared with Monday last. All breeds were in
steady request, at an improvement in the quotations of 2d
per gibs. The best old Downs sold at 5s 2d per 81bs. We
had an improved demand for lambs, at 2d per 81bs above
last week's currency.

Calves--the supply of which was rather limited—were in
steady request at 2d per 81bs more money.
There was very little business doing in pigs, at late rates.
