CORN EXCHANGE.
Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat, yet the trade ruled heavy,
and prices bad a downward tendency. Barley, oats, and
all other articles moved off slowly, and prices were with
difficulty supported.
The reports from the Continental markets bring lower
prices for wheat, with a heavy demand. From the United
States we learn that scarcely any produce was being sup-
plied to England.
Only moderate supplies of English grain were received
up to our market last week. From abroad the imports
were large, viz., 23,419 qrs. of wheat, 12,721 barley,
17,947 oats, 581 beans, 1,333 peas, 100 tares, 5,853 linseed,
3,480 rapeseed, 85 must ard-secd, 10 sundry seeds, 430 sacks
and 1,3':7 barrels of flour.
The quantity of English wheat received fresh ups
to our
market, to-day, from Essex, Kent, &c., was smal, and
the show of samples—amongst which were scarcely any of
the new crop —was very moderate. The attendance of
mint-A.3 was limited, yet the demand for all kinds of wheat
of home produce 'tiled somewhat steady. However, com-
pared with Monday last, scarcely any change took place in
the quotations.
Thera was railier an extensive show of foreign wheat,•
fresh as well as ex•granary. For all descriptions, we had
a very dull inquiry, and last week's pricea were nominally
unaltered.
New Kentish barley, in poor condition was on offer at
463 per quarter. Old English was dull, and light qualities
of foreign were rather trooping in price.
In the value of malt no change took place. The demand
was far from active.
Oats were in good supply, and slow request. Inferior
foreign samples were rather cheaper, with a heavy de-
mand.
Beaus were in moderate supply, and slow request, at
last week's prices
New Peas wore on offer at 42a per quarter. Old parcels

An application was made to open a petition in this
case, and the act of bankruptcy was allegA to be keep.
ing cut of the way to delay his creditors, and a person
named Child', who was described as an "Inquiry agent,
Bpinghall.ltreet," was called to prove the fact; but
the,e inquiries were not sufficient unless the agent had
a summons on the party, who kept out of the way to
avoid service, which would be delaying a creditor. An
affidavit to that effect was then made. •

To-day's market wa\ fairly supplied with each kind of
foreign stock, in which about an average business was
transacted.
The receipts of beass fresh up from our own grazing
districts were very moderate, but their general condition
was by no means first rate. Prime Scots, short horns, &c.,
were in fair request, and last Monday's currency was rea-
lised for them. Inferior boasts moved off slowly, but no
actual change took place in their value.
From Norfolf, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,400 Scots and shorthorns ; from the Nortb,
540 short horns ; from other pirts of England 500 of vari-
ous breeds ' • and from Ireland 11 oxen. Scarcely any stock
reached us from Scotland.
The show of sheep was moderate f...r the time of year,
but we observed a falling off in their general weight and
condition. Prime Downs and half-brews were in good
request, at fully the prices realised on this day se'nnight.
All other breeds met a slow sale, yet no quotable change
took place in their value.
We were fairly supplied with lambs, in which about an
average business was transacted at last week's currency.
The supply of calves was limited, compared with some
previous week's. The veal trade ruled firm, at 4d. per 8
lbs. above the rates obtained. on Monday last.
For pigs the inquiry was heavy, at about last week's
quotations
