CORN EXCIIINGE.

The provincial markets held on Saturday were by no
means heavily supplied with wheat, yet the demand for all
kinds ruled heavy, at drooping prices. Barley, oats, beans,
mid peas were in moderato request, at full quotations, but
flour was offering on ca-der terms. .

The continental markets continue dull for wheat, and
prices are rather drooping. In the United States, both
wheat and flour are relatively higher than in this country.
The receipts of English grain up to our market last week
wero limited. From abroad we received 5,003 qrs. of
week, 5,4 -3 barley, 11,878 oats, 440 peas, 50 linseed, C5O
rapeseed, 1,3i8 sundry, 978 sacks and 493 barrels of flour.
Fresh up, to-day, the arrivals of English wheat, coast-
wise and by land carriage, were on a moderate scale; yet,
as sever al samples wero on offer, the refuse of Friday last,
the supply on offer was tolerably good. Owing to the pre-
vailing fine weather, and the prospect of an early harvest,
the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled
heavy in the extreme, at a decline in the quotations rea-
lised on Monday last of frme 3s to 4s per quarter. At that
amount of depression very little business was transacted.
There was a full avera;o supply of foreign wheat on
offer. The {rale was in a depressed state, and prices were-
Is to 2s per quarter lower than last week.
Floating cargoes of grain commanded less attention.
Very little English barley was on show, but we had a
single sample of new from Kent, in fine and heavy condi-
tion. The price asked wee 563., bet the highest figura
offered was 48s. per quarter to be delivered next week.

11ialt was steady, at last week's rt ices.
We ha I a good demand for oats— the supply of which
was only moderate—at very full prices.
Beans changed hands steadily, and late rates were well
supported.
Peas were stea ly, but not dearer.
The flour tra le was in a depressed state, and prices
were drooping.
New rapeseed was in the market.. The price demanded
wai s;s per quarter, but only 80s was bid.

We hal a large show of foreign stock in to-day's market,
and the demand for it rulei heavy in the extreme, at
drooping prices.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up to-day wore seasonably large, and in full average
condition ; and wo understand that those from Norfolk
during the next four weeks will be extensive. Owing to
the prevailing hot weather, and the heavy receipts, the
beef tra le was in a very depressed state, and sales were
with difficulty effected at a decline in the quotations rea-
lised on Monday last of from 2d to 4i per Sibs. The highest
general top figure for beef was 4s 4d per 81bs.:
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam.
bridgesbire, amounted to 1,700 Scots and shorthorns ; from
Lincolnshire, Ste., 450 shorthorns ; from other parts of
England 103 of various breeds, and from Scotland 17 Scots.
No supply reached us from Ireland.
There was a further increase in tho.sbow of sheep, and
the general quality of most English breeds was tolerably
good. The mutton trade ruled excessively heavy, and the
quotations were 2d to 9d per 81bs lower than on this day
se'nnizht. The highest figura for Downs was 4s 10d
per Sibs.

Lambs—the show of which was good, were very dull,
and 4l per Sibs lower than on Monday last. The primest
Down breeds went at 6s 4d per Slbs. From Ireland about
70) lambs reached us.
We were fairly supplied wi h calves, and the veal trade
ruled heavy at 2d per Sibs less money.
There was very little busin;ss doing in pigs, on lower
terms.
We have been requested to state that no stock is now
allowed to be driven through the parish of Islington to
this market, between midnight on Saturdays and mid-
night on Sundays, under a heavy penalty.
