MAKKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

...,..
The leading country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat, in which very little was
doing, on rather lower terms. Barley sold slowly, but
oats, beans, and peas were firm. The flour trade was heavy.
The French and American markets come lower for 'both
wheat and flour. In the north of Europe, the former
article has become rather heavy. Spring corn, however,

is firm.
Up to our market last week the arrival of English pro-
duce were only moderate. From abroad we received
13,6;10 quarters of wheat, 20,024 of barley, 67,027 of oats,
2,167 of beans, 459 of pea; 7,691 of linseed, 4,534 of rape-
seed, 229 of mustard-seed, 58 of sundry seeds, and 638
sacks of flour.
Fresh up, to-day, we received a full average supply of
wheat from Essex, Kent, &c., coastwise and by land car-
riage. The general condition of the samples was good, and
some of them weighed 64 lbs. per bushel. As a portion of
last week's unsold supply was in the market, and as the
a ttendance of millers was less numerous, the demand for
all kinds of English wheat ruled heavy, at a decline in the
quotations realised on Monday last of from 3s. to 4s. per
qnart er.
There was a good show of most kinds of foreign wheat.
Although the trade ruled heavy, fine parcels were held
at full prices. Inferior kinds were offered on lower terms-
The floating cargoes of grain off the coast, the inquiry
was rather limited.
The show of English barley Wit 3 limited, of foreign,
extensive. The trade was heavy, compared with this day
se'nuight. is. per quarter.
Fine malt sold to a fair extent on former terms. Inferior
qualities ruled heavy.
The show of foreign oats was very extensive ; neverthe-
less, the oat trade was tolerably firm at full prices.
Both beans and peas were in moderate supply and steady
request at about last week's currency.
We had a dull trade for flour, and country marks were
rather cheaper.

In most of our large graziag districts, the supply of grass
has become rather extensive. This circumstance, coupled
with the prospect of a larger root crop, may induce our
graziers to withhold from oar market a portion of their
stock for the present. •
There was only a moderato show of foreign stock in to-
day's market. The beasts were mostly in poor condition ;
but the sheep, some of which realised 3/ each, were of more
than average weight.
From our own grazing distrists there was a falling off
in the arrival of beasts, and their general quality was very
middling. Compared with Monday hot, there was a
decided improvement in the trade, and the primest Scots,
kc., sold readily at an advance of ,quite 2d per 81bs, the
top figure being 4s 10d. Other breeds were tolerably firm
at extreme rates.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire were, 2,309 short horns ; from other
parts of England, 350 of various breeds ; from Ireland, 500
oxen ; and from Scotland. 27 Scots.
There was an unusually small Ripply of sheep in the
market for the time of year, and their condition was by no
means first rate. The mutton trade was very brisk, at an
improvement in the quotations of fully 2d per Blbs. The
beat Downs produced quite 5s 6,1 per 81bs, and a good
clearance was effected.
The lamb season is now over. The few lambs on sale,
however, sold at comparatively high rates.
We were but scantily supplied with calves, which sold
at 2d. per Kb. more money.
For pigs, the supply of which was on the increase, we
had a good demand, and prices advanced quite 2d per
Blbs.
