CORN EXCHANGE.

The provincial markets hell on Saturday were by no
means heavily supplied with wheat, yet the demand for all
kinds ruled heavy, at drooping prices. Barley, oats, beans,
and peas were in moderato rzquest, at full quotations, hub
flour was offering on easier terms.

The continental markets continue dull for wheat, and
prices are rather droopin7. In the United States, both
wheat and flour are relatively higher than in this country.
The receipts of English grain up to our market last week
wore limited. From abroad we received 8,008 qra. of
week, 5,4'3 barley, 11,878 oats, 440 peas, 50 linseed, C5O
rapeseed, 1,828 sundry, 978 sacks and 493 barrels of flour.
Fresh up, to-day, the arrivals of English wheat, coast-
wise and by land cal ri,ge, were on a moderate scale ; yet,
RR several samples were on offer, the refuse of Friday last,
the supply on offer was tolerably good. Owing to the pre-
vailing fine weather, and the prospect of au early harvest,
the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled
heavy in the extreme, at a decline in the quotations rea-
lised on Monday last of from 3s to 44 per quarter. At that
amount of depression very little business was transacted.
There was a full averale supply of foreign wheat on
offer. The trade was in a depressed state, and prices were
le to 2s per quarter lower than last week.
Floating cargoes of grain commanded less attention.
Very little English barley was on show, but we had a
single sample of new from Kent, in fine and heavy condi-
tion. The price asked was 565., but the highest figure
offered was 4Ss. per quarter to be delivered next week.

Malt was steady, at last week's prices.
We had a good demand for oats— the supply of which
was only moderato—at very full prices.
Beans changed hands steadily, and late rates were well
supported.
Peas were steady, but not dearer.
The flour tra le was in a depressed state, and prices
were drooping.
New rapeseed was in the market. The price demanded
wai Ms per quarter, but only 80s was bid.

We had a largo show of foreign stock in to-day's market,
and the demand for it ruled he 1.17 in the extreme, at
drooping prices.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up to-day were seasonably large, and in full average
condition ; and we understand that those from Norfolk
during the next four weeks will be extensive. Owing to
the prevailing hot weather, and the heavy receipts, the
beef trade was in a very depressed state, and sales were
with difficulty effected at a decline in the quotations rea-
lised on Monday last of from 2d to 41 per Sibs. The highest
general top figure for beef was 4s 4d per 81bs.:
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire, amounted to 1,700 Scots and shorthorns ; from
Lincolnshire, &c., 450 shorthorns ; from other parts of
England 400 of various breeds, and from Scotland 47 Scots.
No supply reached us from Leland.
There was a further increase in the show of sheep, and
the general quality of most English breeds was tolerably
good. The mutton trade ruled excessively heavy, and the
quotations were 2d to 9d per 81bs lower than on this day
se'nnight. The highest figura for Downs was 41 10d
per Sibs.
Lambs—the show of which was good, were very dull,
and 4d per 81bs lower than on Monday last. The primest
Down breeds went at 6s 4d per 81bs. From Ireland about
70) lambs reached us.
We were fairly supplied with calves, and the veal trade
ruled heavy at 2d per 81bs less money.
There was very little business doing in pigs, on lower
terms.
We have been requested to state that no stook is now
allowed to be driven through the parish of Islington to
this market, between midnight on Saturdays and mid-
night on Sundays, under a heavy penalty.
