CORN EXCHANGE.

Nearly the whole of the country markets held on Satur-
day were but moderately supplied with wheat ; neverthe-
less all kinds were very dull, and sales could only be
effected at drooping currencies. There was very little in-
quiry for spring corn, at barely previous rates. In flour
next to nothing was doing.
Throughout the continent wheat has slightly receded in
price, and in the United States wheat and flour continue to
decline. •
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were only moderate. From abroad we received 11,773 qrs.
of wheat, 4,755 barley, 12,864 oats, 202 beans, 5,105 linseed,
18,409 rapeseed, and 1,415 sacks of flour.
The arrivals of English wheat, fresh up to-day, were very
limited, but we had the bulk of last week's supply on offer,
consequently the show of samples was good. For all kinds
the demand was heavy in the extreme, and prices were 4s.
to ss. per quarter lower than on Monday last.
The accounts at hand respecting the crops are very
favourable. The cutting of wheat will be commenced on
Monday next, and several patches of oats have been cut in
Essex and Kent this morning.
We were heavily supplied with most kinds of foreign
wheat. Scarcely a transaction took place in any descrip-
tion, and to have forced sales, 3s to 4s per quarter less
money must have been accepted by the holders.
Barley—though in very moderate supply—moved cff
heavily at late rates.
There was scarcely any demand for oats, and prices gave
way quite 6d per quarter.
The inquiry for beans was much restricted at about late
rates.
Peas were heavy, at nominal quotations. The supply
was unusually small.
For all kinds of flour there was very little inquiry on
easier terms.
Floating cargoes of grain off Falmouth were very dull. •

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer
in to-day's market, but its general quality was inferior.
Fresh up from our own grazing districts the receipts of
beasts were very moderate for the time of year; neverthe-
less, owing chiefly to the prevailing hot weather, the de-
mand for all breeds ruled inactive, at prices about equal to
those realised on this day se'nnight. The general top
figure for beef was 4s 6d; but very prime Scots and crosses
realised 4s 8d per 8 lb.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received about 1,100 short-horns and crosses;
from Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire 900 Scots, short-
horns, and crosses ; from other parts of England 200 of
various breeds ; from Scotland 300 Scots and crosses ; and
from Ireland 100 oxen, &c.

We were again well supplied with sheep, most kinds of
which came to hand in fair condition. The mutton trade
was somewhat inactive at last week's currency. The best
old Downs realised 4s 10d per 8 lb.
Tho show of lambs was tolerably good, and the trade
was inactive at previous quotations, viz., from 4s 8d to 60
per 8 lb.
There was a slow inquiry for calves at last week's cur'
rency. The supply was only moderate.
In pigs scarcely any business was passing, on former
terms.

Per 81bs. to sink the offal.
