MARKET NEWS,--Tbis Day.)
CORN EXCHANGE.
Most of the country markets held on Saturday wore but
moderately supplied with wheat, in which a steady busi-
ness was transacted at is to 28 per qr. more money. Barley
moved off steadily, and the value of fine samples had an
upward tendency. Oats, and all other articles, supported
previous rates.
The French markets are ruling rather heavy, although
exports of produce have been commenced to this country.
In the United States the grain trade remains in an un-
certain state.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of English pro-
duce were moderate. From abroad we received liberal sup-
plies, viz. :-16,237 qrs. of wheat, 17,678 of barley, 42,487
of oats, 7,877 of beans, 1,716 of peas, 9,760 of linseed,
3,169 of rapeseed, 49 of mustardseed, 3,230 of sundry seeds,
2,094 sacks and 3,485 brls. of flour.
Fresh up, to-day, the arrivals of English wheat, coast
wise and by land carriage, were limited, consequently—as
a fair clearance was effected last week—the show of samples
was trifling. The attendance of both town and country
millers was cn the increase, and a clearance of the stands
was speedily effected, at an advance in the quotations
realised on Monday last of 2s per quarter. There was a
slight improvement in tho condition both of the red and
white wheats.
Although the supply of foreign wheat, fresh as well as
ex-granary, was extensive, there was an improved inquiry
for all kinds. Fine new qualities sold at an improvement
in value of from Is to 2s per quarter, and the quotations
of other descriptions were well supported.
Floating cargoes of grain were in better request.
We were well supplied with barley, in which, however,
an extensive business was transacted, at an improvement
in value of fully is per quarter.
We were fairly supplied with malt, which moved off
steadily on rather higher terms.
Although the show of oats was very extensive, the oat
trade ruled firm, at very full prices.
Beans sold slowly, but we have no change to notice in
their value.
In peas a moderate business was doing, at late rates.
Tho flour trade was steady, and country marks realised
Is por 2801bs more money.

The genera'. quality of the foreign stock on sale here to.
day was very middling, and the supply, compared with
some previous weeks, was but moderate.
There was a falling off in the arrivals of beasts from our
own grazing districts. and most of the short-horns reached
us in very middling condition. The attendance of buyers
was far from numerous; nevertheless, the beef trade
ruled firm, at prices fully equal to Monday last. The
primest Scots realised fully Is 8d per 81bs.
From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton.
shire, we received 2,800 short horns; from other parts of
England, 300 of various kinds; from Ireland, 450 oxen;
and from Scotland, 250 Scots, ohieffy by railway.
We had a very scanty supply of sheep in the market,
and the general condition of the stock was inferior. All
breeds were in steady request, at an improvement in
value, compared with Monday last, of 2d per 81be. The
primest old Downs sold readily at 5s 4d per Sibs. There
were only 93 Irish sheep on sale.
The supply of calves was only moderate, and the veal
trade ruled firm, at an advance on Friday's rates of 2d
per Blbs. The top quotations was 5s per 81bs.
