CORN EXCHANGE.

The supplies of wheat on offer in the leading country
markets held on Saturday were only moderate ; yet the
demand for all kinds ruled heavy, on lower terms. Barley
and other spring corn, including flour, were lower to pur-
chase.
Very little change has taken place in the value of flour
in the French markets; but in the north of Europe, prices
have continued to give way. Our American advice' state
that the export trade was by no means active.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last
week, were only moderate. From abroad, we received
11,892 quarters of wheat ; 7,427 barley ; 19,318 oats ;
1,954 rye ; !,096 beans ; 2,020 peas ; 4,020 linseed ; 2,384
rapeseed; 15 mustard seed; 505 sundry seeds, 918 sacks
and 4,108 barrels of flour.
The quantity of wheat received fresh up to our market
to-day, from Essex, Kent, icc., coastwise, was unusually
small, and the arrivals by land carriage were very mode-
rate; henoe the show of samples, of both red and white,
was trifling. There was, however, no disposition shown
on the part of the millers to operate, and the transactions
were, consequently, wholly in retail, at about last Mon-
day's decline in the quotations.
There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on the
stands. The trade was certainly not quite so heavy as on
Monday last, yet no improvement took place in the quo-
tations. _ . .

Floating cargoes of grain were dull, but not cheaper.
The show of barley was seasonably good. Fine dry
samples were scarce, and in moderate request, at last
week's quotations. Inferior qualities sold at irregular
currencies.
Malt moved off slowly, at the late decline in value.
We have to notice a slight; improvement in the oat
trade, at previous rates. The show of samples was less
extensive.
Beans were in moderate supply and heavy request, at
last week's prices.

There was only a limited inquiry for peas, on former

terms.

....
The flour trade was heavy. In some instances, American
flour sold at a reduction of ls. per barrel.

Compared with some previous weeks, the show of foreign
stock in to-day's market was only moderate. The beasts
came to hand in very middling condition, but the quality
of the sheep and calves was good.
The arrivals of beasts froth up from our own grazing
districts were seasonably extensive, and we observed a
decided improvement in their general weight and condi-
tion. Owing to the continued decline in the value of
rough fat and raw hides, the beef trade ruled heavy. The
primest breeds were 2d, other qualities 2d to 4d, per 81bs
lower than on Monday last. The best Scots sold at 45
9d per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton-
shire we received 3,100 short horns; from other parts of
England, 300 of various breeds; from Scotland, 150 Scots;
and from Ireland, SEO oxen.
We were fairly with sheep, and their general condition
was good, especially that portion of the supply derived
from Lincolnshire. All breeds moved off slowly, at Fri-
day's decline in value of 2d per 8113 s. The top figure was
5s 2d per 81bs. From Ireland, via Liverpool, 300 sheep
cane fresh to hand.
We were moderately well supplied with calves, and the
veal trade ruled heavy. at 2d to 4d per 81bs beneath last
Monday's currency. The top price of veal was 5s per Blbs.
Sheep, the supply of which was only moderate, moved off
slowly, at barely stationary prices.
