CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat, and the trade ruled
steady, oh rather higher terms. The barley trade was
firm, at full quotations. In the value of othcr grain very
little change took place.
On the continout, wheat and other produce have mostly
supported previous rates ; but the demand for shipment
has not b3on extensive. In the United States produce
generally has ruled heavy.
Up to our markets last week the arrivals of English
grain were very moderate. From abroad we received
7,858 quarters of wheat, 8,440 barley, 26,778 oats, 229
beans, 145 peas, 8,400 linseed, 4,205 rapeseed, 510 mus-
tarilseed, 3,1 T-5 sundry seeds, 278 sacks and 200 barrels of
flour. _ _

Fresh up to-day from Essex, Kent, &e., the arrivals of
wheat were only moderate, but the general quality of the
samples was good. As a fair clearance of the stands was
effected on Tuesday the number of samples in the market
was by no means large. Owing, in some measure, to their
being some large buyers in attendance from Yorkshire, the
demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled
steady, at an advance in the quotations realised on Mon-
day last of is per quarter, and some progress was made in
sales.

There was a fair show of most kinds of foreign wheat.
Good dry samples changed hands steadily, at is to 2s Per
qr more money, and the value of all other kinds was well
supported.

Floating cargoes of grain wore in improved request.
We bad an active inquiry for barley, and prices ad-
vanced is to 2s per qr.

Fine malt was held at fall quotations. Inferior qualities
were very dull.

Very few home-grown cats wen on offer, but the supply
of foreign was moderately good. Ths oat trade ruled firm
at very full prices.

Bearp, the supply of which was moderate, sold steadily
at extreme rates.

We hsd a good demand for peas at full quotations.
The flour trade was steady, and country markets were
rather dearer.

There was an extensive show of foreign beasts and sheep
in to-day's market; bat the supply of calves was limited.
A full , average supply of home-fed beasts was received
fresh up to-day from the north ; but their general quality
was inferior. The primost breeds were in steady request,
at prices quite equal to Monday last. Otherwise the beef
trade was in a sluggish state, yet we have no actual change
to notice in the quotations.

Ftom Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton.
shire, we received 2,-00 short-horns ; frorn other parts of
England, 270 of various breeds; from Scotland, 24 Scots;
and from Ireland, 996 oxen, via Liverpool.
There was a slight falling off in the show of sheep, and
most breeds came to hand in but middling condition. The
mutton Mad.) ruled steady, at last week's currency. The
primost Downs sold at 5s 4d per Sibs.
Prime lambs were firm in prices ; but Inferior breeds
ruled heavy.
Although the supply of calves was rather limited, the
veal trade ruled heavy, an l prices wore 21 to 4d per 81bs
