MARKET NEWS.--(This Day.)

CORN EXCIIA.NGE.
Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat, yet the trade ruled heavy,
and prices had a downward tendency. Barley, oats, and
all other articles moved off slowly, and prices were with
difficulty supported.
The reports from the Continental markets bring lower
prices for wheat, with a heavy demand. From the United
States we learn that scarcely any produce was being sup-
plied to England.
Only moderate supplies of English grain were received
up to our market last week. From abroad the imports
were large, viz., 23,419 qrs. of wheat, 12,721 barley,
47,947 oats, 584 beans, 1,833 peas, 100 tares, 5,853 linseed,
3,480 rapeseed, 85 mustard-seed, 10 sundry seeds, 430 sacks
and 1,3!,7 barrels of flour.
The quantity of E❑glish wheat received fresh up to our
market, to-day, from Essex, Kent, &c., was small, and
the show of samples—amongst which were scarcely any of
the new crop—was very moderato. The attendance of
millers was limited, yet the demand for all kinds of wheat
of home produce ruled somewhat steady. However, com-
pared with Monday last, scarcely any change took place in
the quotations.
There was rather an extensive show of foreign wheat,
fresh as well as ex•granary For all descriptions, we had
a very dull inquiry, and last week's prices were nominally
unaltered.
New Kentish barley, in poor condition was on offer at
46s per quarter. Old English was dull, and light qualities
of foreign were rather drooping in price.
In the value of malt no change took place. The demand
was far from active.
Oats were in good supply, and slow request. Inferior
foreign samples were rather cheaper, with a heavy de-
mand.
Beans were in moderate supply, and slow request, at
last week's prices
New Peas were on offer at 42s per quarter. Old parcels
ruled dull.
We had a slow sale for flour, at barely last week's
currency.

To-day's market was fairly supplied with each kind of
foreign stock, in which about an average business was
transacted.
The receipts of beasts fresh up from our own grazing
districts were very moderate, but their general condition
was by no means first rate. Prime Scots, short horns, &c.,
were in fair request, and last Monday's currency was rea-
lised for them. Inferior beasts moved off slowly, but no
actual change took place in their value.
From Norfolf, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,400 Scots and shorthorns ; from the North,
540 short horns • from other parts of England 500 of vari-
ous breeds • and ' from Ireland 11 oxen. Scarcely any stock
reached us from Scotland.
was moderate for the time of year,
butT hweeshoboswervofedsha feepalling off in their general weight anti
condition. Prime Downs and half-breds were in good
request, at fully the prices realised on this day annight.
All other breeds met a slow sale, yet no quotable change
took place in their value.
We were fairly supplied with lambs, in which about an
average business was transacted at last week's currency.
The supply of calves was limited, compared with some
previous week's. The veal trade ruled firm, at 4d. per 8
lbs. above the rates obtained on Monday last.
For pigs the inquiry was heavy, at about last week's
quotations.

SEEDS.
Only a moderate business is doing in linseed ; late rates
are, however, fairly supported. Rapeseed is very inac-
tive. Canary-seed h.s sold to a fair extent, at full prices.
All other seeds are quite as dear as lasb week. Cakes are
a slow sale, at drooping price.
