MARKET

'his Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The leading country markets held on Saturday were
well supplied with wheat, and the trade ruled heavy, at
drooping prices. Barley and all other kinds of spring corn
sold steadily at full quotations. Flour was dull and droop-
ing.
On the Continent, wheat sold slowly; but spring corn
has commanded full prices. In the United States, very
little has been done on English account.
Up to our market last week, the receipts of English
wheat were good. From abroad the arrivals were 22,622
quarters of wheat, 6,621. barley, 77,315 oats, 292 beans,
1,422 peas, 849 tares, 2,435 linseed, 1,835 rapeseed, 50
mustard-seed, 10 sundry seeds, and a few parcels of flour.
Fresh up, to-day, from Essex, Kent, &0., the arrivals of
English wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, were ex-
tensive, and for the most part in excellent condition.
Most of the finest samples weighed 6 (lbs. per bushel. Al-
though the attendance of both town and country millers
was very numerous, the demand, for both old and new
qualities, ruled excessively heavy, and, compared with
Monday last, prices gave way from 5s to 6s per qr. There
was an extensive show of foreign wheat, fresh as well as
ex granary. The trade was in a depressed state, and the
currencies wore nominally 2s to 3s per qr. lower than on
Monday last.
In floating cargoes of grain, only little was passing.
The show of English barley was limited ; of foreign,
very moderate. There:was a steady inquiry for most kinds,
and late rates were well supported, except inferior kinds,
which were ls. to 2s. lower. .

.....- _
Fine malt supported previous rates ; but inferior parcels
were very dull.
The supply of foreign oats was very large. Good sound
samples sold to a fair extent at full prices; but inferior
qualities were fully 6d. per cwt. cheaper.
There was a fair demand for beans, at full quotations.
Peas moved off steadily at full prima..
The flour trade was heavy, and country markets gave
way Is. to 2s. per sack.

Letters from Germany state that very few cases of dis-
ease in stock have lately presented themselves. In Hol-
land and Belgium it is assumed that the proposed abolition
of the monopoly in the sale of meat in Pais will have the
effect of producing an additional demand in the leading
frontier markets.

There was a full average show of foreign stock in to-
day's market, but its general quality was by no means
first-rate.
From onr own grazing districts, the samples of beasts
fresh up this morning were very moderate, and in but
middling condition. The attendance of butchers was good
and the beef trade ruled brisk, at an advance in the quota-
tions realised on Monday last of 21 per Blbs. The best
Scots sold readily, at fully 5a per 81bs.
The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire,
and Northamptonshire were 1,700 short horns ; from
other parts of England, 3,5_0 of various breeds; from Ire-
land 170 oxen, anl scarcely any from Scotland.
We were but moderately supplied with sheep, the gene-
ral weight and condition of which wore inferior. The
mutton trade was dull, and prices were fully 2d per 81bs
higher than on this day sen'night. The best Downs sold
readily, at fully 5s 4d per 81bs.
There was a moderate inquiry for lambs, the show of
which was by no meansextensive, at late rates, viz., 4s 8d
to 6s per 81bs.
The supply of calves was only moderate, and the veal
trade was less active, at 2d per Sibs less money. Tho top
price was 4s 84 per 81bs.
We had a dull sale for pigs, yet prices were supported.

SEEDS.
Although the demand for canary seed is rather limited,
no material change has taken plea° in prices. Hemp seed
and mustard seed ar3 tolerably active, and last week's
prices are well supported. Linseed is fully 6d to is per
quarter dearer. Cakes are without alteration.
