CORN EXCHANGE.
Most of the country markets held on Saturday were fairly
supplied with wheat. For all kinds the demand ruled
heavy, and prices had a drooping tendency. Fine barley
sold readily; other kinds slowly, on former terms. There
was only a limited business doing in other kinds of pro-
, duce, at previous currencies.
In the continental markets wheat has changed hands
slowly. In prices, however, very little change has taken
place. All spring corn has sold to a fair extent, on former
terms. Ip. the United States both grain and flour have
realised fiery full quotations.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were very moderate. From abroad the imports were sea-
sonably good, viz :-10,373 quarters of wheat, 9,323 barley,
13,570 oats, 68 beans, 345 peas, 890 tares, 4,413 linseed,
6,433 rapeseed, 52 sundry seeds, 2,081 sacks and 2,043
barrels of flour.
The arrivals of wheat fresh up to-day, both from Essex
and Kent, were limited, but, on the whole, in fair average
condition. The attendance of both town and country millers
was limited, and we had a slow inquiry for all kinds of
wheat of home produce, notwithstanding that the show of
samples was rather limited, at the decline noticed in the
currencies on Monday last. However, the bulk of the wheat
was disposed of.
The show of foreign wheat was not to say extensive.
Even the finest samples were very dull, at late rates. In
low and damp parcels so little was doing that the quotations
were next to nominal.
chFloating cargoes of grain were a slow sale, but not
eaper.
Fine malting barley moved off steadily at very full prices ;
but grinding and distilling sorts were a slow inquiry, at late
rates.
For malt there was a fair demand, at very full prices.
For the time of year, we were fairly supplied with oats,
which moved off slowly, at last week's quotations.
We had a steady, though not to say brisk, demand for
beans, at full currencies.
Peas changed hands slowly ; nevertheless prices were
supported.
rrhe flour trade was in a sluggish state, at last week's
prices.

There was a fair show of foreign sheep here to-day,
chiefly from Germany ; but the supply of foreign beasts
and calves was limited.
An unusually small number of beasts, in but middling
condition, came fresh to hand from our own grazing dis-
tricts. Notwithstanding the prevailing wet weather, the
beef trade ruled brisk at an advance in the quotations
realised on Monday last of fully 4d per 81bs. The general
top figure for Scots was 5s 2d, but some few sales were
made as high as 5s 4d per Sibs, and a good clearance was
effected.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,650 Scots, short-horns and crosses • from other
parts of England, 800 of various breeds ; and from Soot-
land, 200 Scots.
We were again very moderately supplied with nearly all
breeds of sheep, the general quality of which was by no
means first rate. The mutton trade was very active, and
prices were about 4d per 81bs higher than on this day
se'nnight. The best old Downs, in the wool, sold readily
at 6s, out of.the wool, 5s 4d per 81bs. About 6,500 sheep
were shorn.
There was a fair demand for lambs at full quotations,
viz., from 6s to 7s per Blbs. The supply was small.
The few calves on offer changed hands steadily, at
extreme rates.
We have to report a slight improvement in the demand
for pigs at full currencies.

BOROUGH HOP.
There is still a good business doing in all kinds of new
hops, at fully the late improvement in value, and the show
of samples is very moderate. Fine yearlings are steady,
but other kinds rule dull.
Mid and East Kent pockets 7os to 130 s per cwt.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
The arrivals of home-grown potatoes, coastwise and by
land carriage, continue seasonably large, and in fair condi-
tion. Last week the imports were 94 tons from Calais 44
tons from Rouen 2 ditto from Rotterdam, and 92 ditto
from Dunkirk. For all kinds the demand rules very inac-
tive as follows :
York Regents, 75s to 105 s; Essex and Kent, 70s to 100 s ;
Lincolns, 70s to 90s • Scotch, 40s to 80s ; foreign, 40s to 60s,
WOOL MARKET.
Since our last report the public sales of colonial wool
have progressed somewhat slowly. In prices, however,
compared with the former auctions, no quotable change
has taken place. Prices have ruled as follows :—Port
Philip—Clean sheep's, Is 91d to 2s 6d ; scoured, is 101 d
to 2s 21d ; lambs, 2s Id to 2s 41d ; locks, &c., is 4d to is

market is heavy, at late rates. Last weeks imports were
585 bales from Algoa Bay, 53 from Bombay, and 44 from
Buenos Ayres.

SEEDS.
White clover seed continues in request, and prices are
still on the advance. Red moves off steadily, at very full
prices, and trefoil is quite as dear as last week. Linseed is
dull, and the turn cheaper. Fine rapeseed fully maintains
its values, but for inferior kinds there is very little demand.
Canary, hempseed, and mustard seed remain as last quoted,
Cakes are in steady request, at late rates.
