Great heaviness prevailed for wheat in the whole of the
country markets held on Saturday, and prices gave way
from 25 to 3s per quarter. Barley was quite le to 2s lower,
and the value of all other produce had a downward ten-
dency.

The French markets, under the influence of numerous
orders for flour received from this country, have ruled
steady ; but, i❑ the United States and elsmhere, the trade
genes ally is heavy.
Only moderato supplies of English grain reached our
market last week. From abroad, we received 18,916
quarters of wheat, 18,513 barley, 18,981 oats, 2,161 beans,
7,710 linseed, 11,190 rapeseed, 580 sundry seeds, 2,210
sacks and 20,:411 barrels of flour.

The arrivals of English wheat, fresh up from market,
this morbing, coastwise and by land carriage, were very
limited, and the show of samples was consequently trifling.
As several buyers wore i❑ attendance from distant ports
there was more disposition shown to purchase. The de-
mand, however, wr:s far fr_•m active, yet ESECX, Kent, and
other growths mostly changed hands at last Monday's cur-
'i he general condition of the samples was tolerably good.
There was an extensive chew of most kinds of foreign
wheat. Fine dry samples sold at last week's quotations,
but middling and damp parcels met a dull inquiry, at
baroly previous rates.
In floating cargoes of grain only a limited Imiiness was
transacted,

Malt—the supply of which was by no means extensive
-ruled inactive, on former terms.
Wo have no change to notice in the value of oats, the
demand for which was by no means active.
The show of beans was rather on the increase, and sales
progressed slowly, at is to 2s per qr. less money. We bad
a dull inquiry for peas, and, in some instances, the quota-
tions were is per qr. lower than on Monday last. The
fluctuations in the value of flour were trifling ; but the
demand was chiefly confined to actual wants.

BOROUGH HOP.

There is a fair average show of good and fine foreign
hops, in which a steady business is doing at full quota-
tions. Otherwise, tho trade is heavy. Last week's im-
ports were 207 bales from Hamburg.
