CORN EXCHANQE.
There was no animation in the demand for wheat in .the
leading country markets hold on Saturday. Fine dry
samples were mostly disposed of at full prices ; but other
kinds moved off slowly, at late rates. The barley trade was
tolerably active, at full previous quotations. Oats, beans,
and peas, as well as flour, commanded late currencies.
In the Continental markets wheat has continued dull in
sale, on former terms. Other produce has been in fair re-
quest. The grain trade in the United States has become
much less active.

The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week,
were moderate. The total imports from abroad were rather
limited, viz., 644 quarters of wheat, 2,912 barley, 12;287
oats, 2,130 rye, 5 beans, 50 peas, 475 tares, 6,329 linseed, 10
mustard, 100 sundry seeds, 3,793 sacks and 105 barrels of
flour.
The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to-day, coastwise
and by land carriage, were on a very moderate scale, but we
observed a slight improvement in the general condition of
the samples. The attendance of both town and country
millers was far from numerous, and the demond for all
kinds of wheat of home produce was in a sluggish state, at
last Monday's currency.
We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with foreign wheat. Fine dry samples sold at full quota-
tions, but so little was doing in other kinds that prices were
almost nominal.
Floating cargoes of grain, off Falmouth, were very dull.
The show of barley was rather limited. For most de-
scriptions the demand was steady, at full prices.
Malt changed hands freely, at full quotations.
There was a fair show of oat samples, and the demand
ruled inactive. In prices, however, no change took place.
We had rather more inquiry for beans, at full quotations.
Peas ruled steady, but not dearer.
The flour trade was in a sluggish state, at last Monday's
quotations.

For the time of year there • was a fair show of foreign
short horns to-day, but its general quality was inferior.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts
fresh up this morning were slightly on the increase com-
pared with Monday last, but there was a deficiency in their
general quality. The primest Sots, short horns, &c., sold
without difficulty at last Monday's prices. Otherwise the
beef trade ruled heavy, and in some instances prices gave
way 2d. per 8 lbs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,200 Scots, short horns, and crosses ; from other
parts of England, 600 of various kinds ; and from Scotland,
300 Scots and crosses.
We were again very scantily supplied with all breeds of
sheep in middling condition. The mutton trade was de-
cidedly active, at an advance in the quotations realised on
this day se'nnight of 4d per 81bs. The primest old Downs
in the wool realised 5s 8d ; out of the wool, 58 per Blbs.
About 3,000 shorn sheep were in the market.
Calves, the supply of which was limited, were firm ; and
the quotations had an upward tendency.
We had a slow sale for pigs ; nevertheless prices were
supported.
