CORN EXCHANGE.
...
Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
somewhat firmer for wheat, and, in some instances', prioes
had an upward tendency. Fine barley realised full quota-
tions, and other kinds were steady. Oats, beans, peas, and
flour ruled about stationary.
The Continental markets may be called firm for wheat,
spring corn, and flour. In the United States the quota-
tions still continue to rule high.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English
grain were moderate. From abroad we received 28,551
quarters of wheat, 8,970 barley,-32,400 oats, 778 beans, 335
peas, 30 tares, 10,558 linseed, 22,143 rapeseed, 150 sundry
seeds, 9,088 sacks and 3,591 barrels of flour.
From Essex, Kent, &c., a very moderate supply of wheat
was received fresh up to our market to-day; hence the
show of samples was somewhat limited. The, abolition of
the fixed duty law in France, both as regards imports and
exports, and the re-establishment of the sliding scale of
1832, produced considerable firmness in the demand for
English wheat, and prices were, on the average, 3s to 4s
per quarter higher than on Monday last.
Notwithstanding that the supply of foreign wheat was sea-
sonably large, importers were very firm, and sales pro-
gressed steadily at 2s. to 3s. per quarter above the rates
current on this day se'nnight.
Floating cargoes of grain off Falmouth were held for
more money.
There was a fair show of barley, yet all kinds sold readily
at fully last week's prices.
Malt—the supply of which was good—moved off slowly
at late rates.
We had less activity in the oat trade, and in some in•
stances prices were a shade lower than last week.
Both beans and peas, the supplies of which were limited,
sold at late quotations.
The flour trade was far from active, nevertheless the late
advance in prices was well supported.

The show of foreign beasts and calves here to-day was
limited, of sheep tolerably good. The latter, however,
were chiefly derived from Prussia.
From our own grazing districts only a moderate number
of beasts came fresh to hand this morning ; but the general
quality of the stock was good. The primest Scots, shorts
horns, and crosses were in fair, but by no means active re-
quest, at last Monday's currency. All other kinds were a
dull sale, but not cheaper.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire amounted to 2,000 Scots, shorthorns, and
crosses; from other parts of England, 320 of various
breeds; from Scotland, 290 Scots and crosses; and from
Ireland, 94 oxen and heifers.
There was a fair show of sheep, both as to number and
quality. For most breeds we experienced a fair demand,
and last week's currency was well supported. The top
price of Downs, out of the wool, was ss. per 81bs.
Although the supply of lambs was by no means larger,
the lamb trade ruled heavy, at barely last Monday's quota-
tions. About 650 lambs came ti hand from the Isle of
Wight.

- Calves were in short supply and sluggish request, on
former terms.
The pock trade ruled heavy, at barely late rates.

These markets are tolerably well, but not to say heavily,
supplied with each kind of meat. Generally speaking, the
demand is inactive, yet prices are supported.
