CORN EXCHANGE.

The fluctuations in the prices of wheat in the leading
country markets, held on Saturday, wera not extensive.
The supplies of the new crop were on the increase. In
spring corn very little was passing, and the flour trade was
inactive.
Most of the continental markets are dull and drooping.
For shipment to England the demand has not improved.
The American markets have ruled heavy.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were very moderate. From abroad, we received 7,878
quarters of wheat, 3,117 barley, 18,442 oats, 450 peas,
4,085 linseed, 6,290 rapeseed, 30 mustard seed, 2,423 In-
dian corn, 911 sacks and 2,289 barrels of flour.
Upwards of I,F 00 quarters of new English wheat, chiefly
the produce of Essex and Kent, wore on sale here to-day
in excellent condition. Amongst the Essex supply were a
few samples affected with smut ; bat those from Kent
were free from that disease, and they weighed from 621 b. to
quite 641 b. per bushel. The demand was far from active,
yet in some instances last weeks prices were supported.
However, a few parcels sold at 2s. per quarter less money.
The few samples of old English wheat on offer found
buyers at last Monday's currency.
We were well supplied with foreign wheat, fresh as
well as ex granary. Very fine samples sold at full quo-
tations, but all other kinds were heavy, at barely late
rates.
In floating cargoes of grain very little was passing.
New English barley, the show of which was rather
limited, sold steadily, at full prices. Other kinds moved
off slowly, at late rates.
Fine malt was tolerably firm, at last week's currency ;
but inferior kinds were dull, and rather lower to purchase.
Very few home grown oats were on offer, and the supply
of foreign was only moderate. The trade may be called
steady, at late rates.
The few beaus and peas in the market were disposed of
at last week's rates.
We have to report a slow sale for flour, at last Monday's
currency. The supply of foreign flour continues limited.

There was rather an extensive supply of foreign stock
here to-day in very middling condition.
Fro ea our own grazing districts—especially from Norfolk
—only a moderate number of beasts came forth to hand
this morning, and their general weight and condition were
by no means good. The primest short horns, Scots, &;.,
moved off steadily, at an advance in the quotations com-
pared with Monday last of 2d per Bibs--the top figure for
beef being 2s. Bd. per Sibs ; otherwise tae trade was firm,
and prices had an upward tendency.
The receipts of beasts from Lincolnshire and Leicester-
shire, including Northamptonshire, were, 1,600 short-
horns ; from Norfolk, 470 Scots ; from other parts of Eng-
land, 400 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 41 Scots.
Only a moderate number of sheep was in the market for
the time of year, and prime stock was very scarce. Prime
Downs, half-breds, &c., were in active request at the
extreme rates obtained on this day fortnight. Other
kinds were leis active ; nevertheless the quotations were
well supported.
We were fairly supplied with lambs which moved off
slowly set Friday's decline in value of 2d per Sibs. The
top quotation was 2d. per Sibs. About 1,000 head oamo to
hand from Ireland.
Prime calves were scarce, anti 2d per Sibs dearer.
Inferior veal ruled steady at fully late rates.
We had scarcely any inquiry for pigs, the show of which
was good, at last
