CORN EXCHANGE.
The leading country markets held on Saturday were
well supplied with wheat, and the trade ruled heavy, at
drooping prices. Barley and all other kinds of spring corn
sold steadily at full quotations. Flour was dull and droop-
ing.
On the Continent, wheat sold slowly; but spring corn
has commanded full prices. In the United States, very
little has been done on English account.
Up to our market last week, the receipts of English
wheat were good. From abroad the arrivals were 22,622
quarters of wheat, 6,621 barley, 77,315 oats, 52 beans,
1,422 peas, 819 tares, 2,435 linseed, 1,855 rapeseed, 50
mustard-seed, 10 sundry seeds, and a few parcels of flour.
Fresh up, to-day, from Essex, Kent, &c., the arrivals of
En3lish wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, were ex-
tensive, and for the most part in excellent condition.
Most of the finest samples weighed 6 Ilbs. per bushel. Al-
though the attendance of both town and country millers
was very numerous, the demand, for both old and new
qualities, ruled excessively heavy, and, compared with
Monday last, prices gave way from 5s to 6s per qr. There
was an extensive show of foreign wheat, fresh as well as
ex granary. The trade was in a depressed state, and the
currencies were nominally 2s to 3s per qr. lowei' than on
Monday last.
In floating cargoes of grain, only little was passing.
The show of English barley was limited ; of foreign,
very moderate. There:was a steady inquiry for most kinds,
and late rates were well supported, except inferior kindsi
which were ls. to 2s. lower.
Fine malt supported previous rates ; but inferior parcels
were very dull.
The supply of foreign oats was very largo. Good sound
samples sold to a fair extent at, full prices ; but inferior
qualities were fully Cd. per cwt. cheaper.
There was a fair demand for beans, at full quotations.
Peas moved off steadily at full
The flour trade was heavy,

Letters from Germany state that very few cases of die.
ease in stock have lately presented themselves. In Hol-
land and Belgium it is assumed that the proposed abolition
of the monopoly in the sale of meat in Pam is will have the
effect of producing au additional demand i❑ the leading
frontier markets.

There was a full average show of foreign stock in to-
day's market, but its general quality was by no means
first-rate.

From our own grazing districts, the samples of beasts
fresh up this morning were very moderate, and in but
middling con lition. The attendance of butchers was good
and the beef trade ruled brisk, at au advance in the quota-
tions realised on Monday last of 2d per Ms. The best
Scots sold readily, at fully 5s per Sibs.
The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire,
and Northamptonshire were 1,709 short horns ; from
other parts of England, 3,5',0 of various breeds; from Ire-
land 170 oxen, an I scarcely any from Scotland.
We were but moderately supplied with sheep, the gene-
ral weight and condition of which were inferior. The
mutton trade was dull, and prices were fully 2d per Blbs
higher than on this day sen'night. The best Downs sold
readily, at fully 53 4d per Sibs.
There was a moderate inquiry for lambs, the show of
which was by no meansextensive, at late rates, viz., 4s Sd
to 6s per 81bs.
The supply of calves was only moderato, and the voal
t►ado was less active, at 2d par Blbs less money. The top
price was 4s 8d per Blbs.
We had a dull sale for pigs, yet prices were supported.

Although the demand for canary seed is rather limited,
no material change has taken pla3e in prices. Hemp seed

prices are well supported. Linseed is fully 6d to is per
