MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The supplies of wheat on sale in most of the country
markets held on Saturday were only moderate ; neverthe-
less, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, and prices
were rather drooping. Barley was is to 2s lower, and all
other articles had a downward tendency.
The French markets have become somewhat firmer
owing to a decree having been issued allowing the export
of native produce. In the other continental markets the
trade generally has ruled heavy. The American markets
have shown more animation.

Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English
grain were only moderate. From abroad, the imports
were extensive :-23,614 quarters of wheat, 10,229 of
barley, E,0,879 of oats, 250 of rye, 1,800 of beans, 4,328
of peas, 4,520 of linseed, 100 of sundry seeds, 1,863 sacks,
and 533 barrels of flour.
The supply of wheat received fresh up to-day from
Essex and Kent, coastwise and by land carriage, was only
moderate ; and the arrivals by land carriage were by no
means extensive. The show of samples, however, was
good, as a portion of last week's unsold supply was again
brought forward. The trade was in a depressed state, and
prices gave way, compared with Monday last, 4s per quar-
ter. The heaviness in the trade was increased from the
fact that two failures in the trade were announced. The
estimated liabilities are about 80,0001.
We had a very large quantity of foreign wheat on offer.
The trade ruled heavy in the extreme, and prices of most
kinds were nominally 2s. per quarter lower than on this
day fortnight.

In floating cargoes of grain scarcely any transactions
took place.

The show of barley, both English and foreign, was again
extensive, and the trade ruled heavy, at a further decline
in value of from ls. to 2s. per quarter.
The malt trade was very dull, and prices had a down-
ward tendency.

We were heavily supplied with oats, and the demand
was in a depressed state at a fall in value of ls. per

quarters.

Beans changed hands slowly at is decline, and peas
were offering on lower terms.

The flour trade was heavy, and country markets gave
way Is per 280 lbs. Town-made qualities fell 3d or to
47s per sack.

There was only a moderate supply of foreign stock on
sale in to-day's market, and its general quality was very
middling.

The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis-
tricts were by no means extensive as to number, and there
was a decided falling off in the weight and quality. All
breeds told steadily at an a Ivance in the quotations of
Monday last of 2d per Ms. The general top figure for
beef was 4s 10d per 8113 s ; but u few very prime Scots
realised 5s per 81b

From Lincolnshire, L'Acestershire, and Northampton.
shire we received 3,030 shorthorns; from other parts of
England, 300 of various breeds ; from Ireland, 300 oxen ;
and from Scotland, 47 Scots.

For the time of year the supply of sheep was limited,
anti in but middling condition. Although skins and rough
fat are falling in price, the mutton trade ruled steady, at
vary full quotations; indeed, in some instances, prices hae,
an upward tendency. The general top figure for Downs
was 5s 4d ; but a few very superior pens realised 5s 6d
per 81bs. From Ireland 210 sheep were in the market.
The supply of calves was very moderato, and the veal
trade ruled brisk, at 4d to 8d per 81bs above Monday's
currency. The top quotation for veal was 554 d per 81bs.
Pigs—the supply of which was only moderate--sold
readily, at very full prices.
