MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The fluctuations in the prices of wheat in the loading
country markets, held on Saturday, were not extensive.
The supplies of the new crop were on the increase. In
spring corn very little was passing, and the flour trade was
ina':.tivo.

Most of the continental markets are dull and drooping.
For shipment to England the demlnd has not improved.
The American markets have ruled heavy.

The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were very moderate. From abroad, we received 7,878
quarters of wheat, 3,547 barley, 18,442 oats, 450 peas,
4,085 linseed, 6,290 rapeseed, 30 mustard seed, 2,423 In-
dian corn, 911 sacks and 2,289 barrels of flour.
Upwards of 1,503 quarters of new English wheat, chiefly
the produce of Essex and Kent, were on sale here to-day
in excellent condition. Amongst the Essex supply were a
few samples affected with smut; but those from Kent
were free from that disease, and they weighed from 621 b. to
quite 641 b. per bushel. The demand was far from active,
yet in some instances last weeks prices were supported.
However, a few parcels sold at 2s. per quarter less money.
The few samples of old English wheat on offer found
buyers at last Monday's currency.
We were well supplied with foreign wheat, fresh as
well as ex granary. Very fine samples sold at full quo-
tations, but all other kinds were heavy, at barely late
rates.

In floating cargoes of grain very little was passing.
New English barley, the show of which was rather
limited, sold steadily, at full prices. Other kinds moved
off slowly, at late rates.
_ _ _

Fine in'alt wns tolerably firm, at last week's currency;
but inferior kinds were dull, and rather lower to purchase.
Very few home grown oats were on offer, and the supply
of foreign was only moderate. The trade may be called
steady, at late rates.
The few beans and peas in the market were disposed of
at last week's rates.

We have to report a slow sale for flour, at last Monday's
currency. The supply of foreign flour continues limited.

There was rather an extensive suiply of foreign stock
here to-day in very middling condition.
From our own grazing districts—especially from Norfolk
—only a moderate number of beans came forth to hand
this morning, and their general weigit and condition were
by no means good. The primest shirt horns, Scots, &c. ,
moved off steadily, at an advance in the quotations com-
pared with Monday last of 2d par 811s--;he top figure for
beef being 2s. Bd. per Sibs; otherwick the trade was firm,
and prices had an upward tendency.
The receipts of beasts from Lincohshire mad Leicester-
shire, including Northamptonshire, were, 1,600 short-
horns ; from Norfolk, 470 Scots ; fron other parts of Eng-
land, 400 of various breeds ; and fron Scotland, 41 Scots.
Only a moderate number of sheep vas in the market for
the time of year, and prime stock wac very scarce. Prime
Downs, half-brads, &c., were in active request at the
extreme rates obtained on this thy fortnight. Other
kinds were less active ; never; aeless the quotations were
well supported.
We were fairly supplied with lams which moved off
slowly at Friday's decline in value if 2d per Blbs. The
top quotation was 2d. per 81bs. Abet 1,000 head came to
hand from Ireland.

Prime calves were scarce, and 3d per Sibs dearer.
Inferior veal ruled steady at fully Lae rates.
We had scarcely any inquiry for pks, the show of which
was good, at last week's currency.

DECISION OF THE JUDGES ON THE
WELLINGTON MONUMENT.

-.0.-
Subjoined is the report of the judges appointed
to examine the models submitted, in competition
for a monument to the late Duke of Wellington,
which was agreed to on Saturday, and presented to
the Government.

WELLINGTON MONUMENT.
Report of the judges appointed to examine the
models, submitted in competition, for a monument
to the late Duke of Wellington :
" To the Right Hon. Sir B. Hall, Bart , M. p.
First Commissioner of her Majesty's Works and
Public Buildings.
" Sir,—ln the execution of the duty devolved
upon us, we beg to recommend that the prizes
should be allotted to the models corresponding
with the following numbers :

"We have thus endeavoured to adjudge the
prizes we have been instructed to distribute (in the
scale of which we have not thought ourselves at
liberty to make any change), in the order which
appeared to us to be that of the relative degrees of
merit in the models, such models falling within the
prescribed conditions, as to the space to be occupied,
and the cost to be incurred.
" In so doing we have not considered ourselves
bound to take into exclusive consideration the pe-
culiar fitness and adaptation to that spot in St.
Paul's Cathedral which appears to be in contempla-
tion for the erection of the proposed monument,
which consideration might possibly have led to some
difference in the selection.
" We cannot, at the same time, forbear suggest-
ing that, before any design is finally adopted by the
government, it would be desirable, considering the
peculiarity of the situation contemplated, and that
it essentially differs from that of all the other monu-
ments now existing in the cathedral, the opinion of
some experienced artists should be called for, who
would be better judges of the local effect than we
consider ourselves to be ; more especially as Mr.
Cockerell, the only one of the appointed judges pro-
fessionally connected with the arts—though we
have derived from him valuable assistance and in-
formation in the progress of the examination—has
declined, on that account, taking a part in the ulti-
mate decision.
" We may be permitted to add that it is with
much regret that we have found ourselves precluded
from admitting into the competition some of the
models, from the circumstance of their having ex-
ceeded the limits as to space, distinctly laid down
iu the prescribed conditions.
