MARKET WW2 —(This Day.) I

CORN :?CHANGE.

Most of the large counry markets 11(31,1 on Saturday
were steady for wheat, tnd previous quota,,ions were
rather exceeded. BarkY,and most other kinds of pro-
duce, realised full prices.
Very favourable accouns continue to arrive on the sub-
ject of the harvest, and th weather is very fine for wheat
cutting.
The Continental Market have been fairly supplied with
wheat, in which a full ay:rage business has been trans-
acted at previous rates. Ii the United States scarcely any
business has of late been tausacted on English account.
An unusually small supily of old English wheat was re-
ceived fresh up to our maket to-day; but thfra were on
offer about 1,250 quarters )f new from Essex and Kent in
excellent condition. As th, millers continue short of stock,
and as the show of sampls was trifling, the demand for
all kinds ruled steady at pices fully equal to those realised
on Monday last.
The quantity cf Englsh wheat yet thrashed out is
small ; hut a large arrivalis expected next week.
We were well supplied ivith nearly all kinds of foreign
wheat. Fine dry qualitin sold at full currencies, but the
demand for them was by to means active. Inferior sam-
ples were held at full pricis.
In floating cargoes of grain, very little was doing.
A few samples of new birley were on offer, and the show
of foreign was moderatelygood. The trade was far from
active, but no change took place in value.

..., ,
Malt was in fair request, but not dearer.
Very few home-grown fats were on sale. The oat trade
ruled stew ly, at last week's prices.
For beans, we had onl, a moderato inquiry, at late
rates.
New peas were on sale, but they commanded very little
attention. Old qualities vere steady in price.
The flour trade ruled steady. In prices no change took
place. The show of foreign was small.

There was rather an extensive show of foreign stock in
to-day's market, and for which the demand ruled inactive,
at barely stationary prices.
CompAred with Monday last, there was a decided in-
crease in the arrivals of beasts from our own grazing dis-
tricts, and the general condition of the stock exhibited a
marked improvement. The attendance of buyers was
tolerably good, yet the beef trade ruled heavy. Prises
gave way 2d per 81bs, and a total clearance was not effected.
It must be understood that 4s 6d per Blbs was the extreme
value of the best Scots.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 750 Scots and short horns ; from the north, 1,400
short horns ; from other parts of England, 400 of various
breeds ; and from Scotland, 43 Scots.
We were seasonably well supplied with nearly all breeds
of sheep, but a large portion was in very middling condi-
tion. The mutton trade ruled less active than last week,
yet the value of the primest Downs and half-breds was
well supported. Other breeds ruled heavy, at barely sta-
tianary prices.
The show of lambs was tolerably good. On the whole,
the trade ruled steady, but far from active, at last week's
currency. The top quotation was 6s 4d per 81bs.
The supply of both English and foreign calves was ex-
tensive, and the veal trade ruled heavy, at a decline in
value of fully 2d per 81b1.
For pig, the inquiry ruled dull, at barely last week's cur-
rency.
