CORN EXCHANGE.

Only na.oderate'supplies of wheat were on sale in the pro-
vincial markets held on Saturday ; yet the demand f. r all
kinds ruled hoavy, at further 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 hive given way, yet there is a fair business
doing for shipment to England. In the United &ales 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 barley, 34,1;60 eats, 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 wEek was rather large. The favourable
accounts respecting the crops, and the
.increased supplies
of foreign produce received-during the past week, had a
most depressing influence upon the trade. Sales were with
difficulty effecte 1, add the transactions reported were at
fully 5s 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 par quarter was obtained for it.
We were seasonably well supplied with foreign wheat,
and most of the late imports consist-of good useable quail-
tie.r. The trade was heavy• in the extreme, and prices
ware nominally 3s per quarter lower 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 th 3 market. New white realised 41a,
now gray, 42s per quarter.
The flour trade was heavy, an l prices further receded

which the demand ruled heavy. Calves, espeoially, sold at
very lowces.

Compared with Monday last, the arrivals of beasts fresh
up to-day from onrown grazing districts were rather limited,
atphnriedsvtadhi,aleiyinrgainuot:gtwit:enta.ther, the beef trade ruled somewhat
active, and prices advanced-2d. per 81bs. compared with
scarce, sold at 4s. 6d. per Blbs. 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, bit 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

Compared with Monday last, there is a slight improve-
ment in the general demand. Prices, however, have un-

BOROUGH HOP.
As some pa••ties aro estimating the duty at only 110,e00/.,
owing to an increase in vermin in some plantations, holders
of hops are somewhat firmer; but the amount of business
doing is limited.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
The arrivals of home grown potatoes have been steadily
on the increase since our last report, and the condition of
tho supplies is good. The imports from the continent, last
week, were only 167 baskets from Rotterdam, and 21 do ,
from Harlingin. For most kinds, the trade is rather
heavy, and prices range from 4s to Gs. for selected samples,
an i 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 la to l per lb. Some larg pa
e r-

lowing rates have been realised :—Port Philip and Port-

Two bales of skin, with wool on, went at 3s 3d to 4s 10d

were 1,540 bales from Melbourne, 683 from Portland Bay,
and 4 from Harburg.

SEEDS.
The business doing in linseed is very moderate ' • prices,
however, are supported. Itapseed is a slow sale. Canary-
seed is in fair request, at full prices. Linseed cakes are
quiet, but rape cakes are steady ; prices are without
alteration.
