CORN EXCHANGE.

Only moderato supplies of wheat were on sale in the pro- I
vincial markets held on Saturday; yet the demand fer all
kinds ruled heavy, at fat thor depressed rates. Spring corn
commanded very little attention, and flour was offered on
lower terms.
Very dull accounts continue to reach us from the Con-
tinent. Prices have given way, yet there is a fair business
doing for shipment to England. la tho United Smtes both
grain and flour continue to sell at high rates.
Very moderate supplies of home-grown produce were re-
ceived up to our market last week.
The imports from abroad were 17,031 quarters of wheat,
6,122 bailey, 34,660 oats, 20 beans, 817 peas, 210 tares,
145 linseed, 740 rapeseed, 40 muster seed, 4,400 sundry
seeds, 2,750 sacks and 878 barrels of flour.
The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to-day, coastwise
and by land carriage, were limited ; but the supply on offer
left over from last wrek was rather large. The favourable
accounts respecting the crops, and the increased supplies
of foreign produce received during the past week, had a
mast depressing influence upon the trade. Sales were with
difficulty effecte 1, and the transactions reprted were at
fully 5e per quarter beneath the currencies of Monday last.
There were 50 quarters of new white wheat on sale, grown
in Essex; the condition of the samples was bulky and
good. About 68s p.ir quarter was obtained for it.
We were seasonably well supplied with foreign wheat,
and most of the late imports consist of goad useable (pall-
tie4. The trade was heavy in the extreme, and prices
were nominally 3s per qty,rter lavrer than on Monday last.
There was no English barley in the market, and the
supply of foreign was only moderate. The barley market
was steady at late rates.
We have to report a slow sale for malt, at last week's
prices.
There was a large show of foreign oats. Good sound
qualities sold steadily, at full prices ; but inferior samples
ruled dull.
Brans were in moderate supply, and fair request, at
last week's currency.
New peas were in the market. New white realised 413,
new grey, 42a per quarter.
The flour trade was heavy, and prices further receded
2d per 8d lbs.

We were again well supplied with foreign stock, for
which the demand ruled heavy. Calves, especially, sold at
very low prices.
Compared with Monday last, the arrivals of beasts fresh
up to-day from our own grazing districts were rather limited,
and their condition was inferior. Notwithstanding the
prevailing hot weather, the beef trade ruled somewhat
active, and prices advanced 2d. per Blbs. compared with
this ay se unight. The prime lots, which were ver7
scarce, sold at 4s. 6d. per Sibs. The season from the north
may be' considered to have fairly commenced.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we
received 1,250 Scots and short horns; from Lincolnshire,
&c., 560 short horns ; from other parts of England, 500 of
various breeds ; and 'from Scotland only 12 Scots.
There was a falling off in the show of sheep as to num-
ber, bat their general condition was good, though not to
say first rate. All breeds moved off readily, at prices fully
equal to those realised on Monday last. The primest old
Downs sold at fully 4s. 10d. per 81bs.
We were fairly supplied with lambs, in which a steady
business was transacted at fully last week's currency, viz„
ss. to 6s. 4d. per 81bs.
For calves, the show of which was extensive, the demand
ruled excessively heavy, and compared with Monday last,
prices gave way 6d. to 10d. per 81bs. The top figure was
4s. 4d. per 81bs.
In pigs wry little was doing, at barely stationary prices.

NEWGATE AND LEADENZALL.
Compared with Monday last, there is a slight improve-
ment in the general demand. Prices, however, have un-
dergone very few changes. The sapplies are but moderate.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDB.
The arrivals of home grown potatoes have been steadily
on the increase since our last report, and the condition of
the supplies is good. The imports from the continent, last
week, were only 167 baskets from Rotterdam, and 23 do.,
from Harlingin. For most kinds, the trade is rather
heavy, and prices range from 4s to 6s. for selected samples,
and 2s and 3s per cwt for inferior.
WOOL.
The public sales of colonial wool have commenced
briskly, and prices show an advance compared with the
previous series, of from ld to 10 per lb. Some large par-
cels have been taken by continental buyers, and the fol-
lowing rates have been realised :—Port Philip and Port-
