CORN EXCHANGE.

Very moderate supplies of wheat were exhibited in the
leading country markets on Saturday. Nearly all kinds
moved off steadily, and in some instances prices had an up-
ward tendency. All other kinds of produce were very firm.
The continental markets, almost generally, have been
very firm for fine wheats, barley, and oats. In the United
States both wheat and flour realised rather more money.
The arrivals of English produce up to our market last
week were limited. From abroad we received 17,734 quar-
ters of wheat, 1,783 barley, 19,721 oats, 761 beans, 1,255
peas, 1,945 tares, 2,668 linseed, 1,385 oilseeds, 920 maze,
40 sundry, and 407 sacks of flour.
Fresh up to-day, the arrivals of English wheat were very
limited, and for the most part in poor condition. All good
and fine samples met a steady sale, at quite the rates cur-
rent on this day se'nnigt ; otherwise, the trade was in a
sluggish state, yet no change book place in the quotations.
The demand for foreign wheat was by no mean active.
However, a fair retail business was transacted in most de-
criptions, and prices were well suppoatee. The show of
samples was tolerably extensive.
A fair average business was done in cargoes afloat, and,
in some instances, the quotations had an upward tendency.
For the time of the year there was considerable activity
in the barley trade, especially as regards malting qualities,
at very full prices.

Malt was firm in value, although :the demanVgenerally
speaking, Was rather inactive.
All kinds of oats were in steady request, and late rates
were well maintained.

Beans were held at fully the late advance in their value.
The inquiry for peas was by no means active; neverthe.
less, prices ruled firm.
For most kinds of flour there was a moderate demand.
American barrels were held for rather more money.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

- -
The show of foreign stock in the market to-day was on
the increase, and the demand for it was in a sluggish state,
at about previous quotations.

From our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland,
the arrivals of beasts were large, and, for the most part, in
prime condition. For all breeds the demand ruled heavy,
at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last,
of 2d per 81bs. The best Scots realised 4s 10d per 81bs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and. Cam-
bridgeshire amounted to 2,900 Scots, crosses, &c. ; from
other parts of England 400, various breeds ; and from
Scotland 817 Scots and crosses.

There was a fair average show of sheep, in somewhat
improved quality.

The mutton trade was in a sluggish state, and, in some
tendency. The

NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.
owing to the heavy arrivals of malt from Scotland since
Monday last, viz., upwards of 800 tons, the demand gene-
rally is very inactive, and prices have a drooping tendency.
