CORN EXCHANGE,

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
fairly supplied with wheat, in which a steady business
wan doing, at very full to a slight advance in prices. Bar-
ley, however, moved off heavily, and the quotations had a
downward tendency. In other kinds of produce very little
was doing.
The near continental markets continue heavy for wheat,
as well as spring corn. In the United States the export
trade continues inactive.

The arrivals of English grain in the port of London last
week were only moderate. From abroad we received
11,599 quarters of wheat, 5,407 barley, 42,121 oats, 434
beans, 2,175 peal, 3,000 linseed, 827 rapeseed, 143 mustard
seed, 1,289 sundry seeds, 153 eacks and 2,811 barrels of
flour.

The quantity of wheat received fresh up to our market
coastwise from Essex and Kent was only moderate. By
land carriage the receipts were small, consequently the
show of samples was limited. The bulk of the supply
came to hand in fair condition, considering the damp state
of the atmosphere. Although the attendance of both town
and country millers was by no means numerous, there was
a slight improvement in the demand compared with Mon.
day last, and that day's pr ices were supported.
There was rather a largo supply of foreign wheat on
offer. Fine heavy parcels sold to a moderate extent at fall
prices. Inferior qualities met a dull inquiry, on former
terms. Floating cargoes of grain off the coast were held at
full quotations. We were well supplied with both English
and foreign barley. The trade ruled heavy in theextreme,
and some qualities were almost unsaleable. Prices were
nominally 2s per qr lower than last week.
There was very little inquiry for malt, at barely eta.
tionary prices.
The show of oat samples was very extensive. Good
sound qualities were hold at full prices, bat damp corn
sold slowly at a decline in value of fully Gd per quarter.
Beans were in short supply and moderate request, on
former terms. _ _

___
Owing to a large arrival from abroad peas sold heavily,
at is to 2s per quarter less money.

Flour was in moderate request, at last week's currency.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock in our
market to-day, and the general quality of the sheep was
prime. Several lots sold at over 3/. each.
Compared with Monday last, the arrivals of beasts from
our own grazing districts exhibited a falling off; but their
general condition was tolerably prime. The beef trade was
somewhat firmer than on Friday, and a fair progress was
made in sales at about last Monday's quotations. The
primost Scats sold at 4s. Bd. per Sibs.
From Lincolnshire, Liecestershire, and Northampton-
shire, we received 2,850 short horns; from other parts of
England, 380 of various breeds; from Scotland, 60 Scots ;
and from Ireland, 350 oxen.
For the time of year, the supply of sheep was again very
moderate, and we observed no improvement in the condi-
tion of the various breeds. Prime Downs and half-breda
were in steady request, at prices equal to those realised on
this day annight ; otherwise, the mutton trade was in a
sluggish state, at barely that day's currency. The top
quotation for mutton was ss. 4d. per 81bs. Calves—the
supply of which was limited—were in fair request, at
Friday's decline in the quotations. The highest figure was
45. Bd. per Sibs. We had a slow sale for pigs; neverthe-
less, late rates were well supported.
There were 250 sheep in the market from Ireland.

SEEDS.

Canary seed continues drill and drooping. Clover seed
trefoil are heavy, at barely stationary prices. Other
seeds are very dull. Best linseed cakes have met a fair
sale at full prices, but foreign descriptions are rather
lower.
