MARKET NE WS.-(THIS . DAY).

CORN-EXGEIANGE--MONDA Y.
The principal country markets held on Saturday were
steady for the finest Wheats, at fully previous rates. In
the middling and inferior kinds very little business was
t(ansacted. Fine Barley and Oats a ere quit, as dear,
but all ether articles, pxcluding Flour, were neglected.
Letters from the near Continental shipping ports state
that large supplies of Flour are stilt coming forward,
urd that several parcel); have hem taken for shipment to
Ecgland. At Dantzio and Odessa very little was doing
in any article. Up to our market last week the arrivals
of English Grain were very moderate. From Scotland
they were•confined to a few cargoes cf °ate. The
foreign imports amounted to 8,362 quarters of Wheat,
762 ditto of Oats, 2,875 ditto of Beans. 211 ditto
of Tares, 100 ditto or tLiuseed, 200 ditto of Rapeseed,
1,336 ditto of sundry Seeds, including Indian
Corn, 2,249 sacks and 603 barr ls of Flour.
Up to our market to-d ay the arrivals of English Wheat,
coastwise, was very moderate, and of but middling qua-
lity. By land carriage, and sample the receipts proved
small, even for the tire eof year. The Essex, Kent, and
otter stands exhibited but a limited number of samples of
both red end %hies; nevertheless, owing to the pressure
of foreign qualities for sale es granary, and the large
quantity of French en d Belgian flour on offer, the de-
mand for all kinds of wheat of home produce was in a
sluggish state, at prices about equal to those of Monday
last, and at which a clearance was with difficulty effected.
Very few offers to ship wheat at present rates came to
hand from the east cos.st. With foreign wheat we were
tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied. Not-
withstanding that most of the leading millers are short of
st Tk, the purchases eff ,cted in Wheat of foreign produce,
this morning, was limited. Fine qualities were, how-
ever, held at fully previous rates. In the middling and
inferior kinds so little -was doing that in some instances,
the quotations ruled almost nominal. In floating cargoes
scarcely a transaction took place. We had only a me-
derate supply of both English and Foreign Barley on
show. Fine parcels for seed ruled steady, at full prices.
Grinding end distilling sorts moved off heavily, at late
rates. The quantity of malt on show ready for delivery
was on the increase., All kinds, especially brown
qtalities,were very du.% and the turn in favour of buyers.
Very few foreign Oats were offering, and the supply
of those home-grown seas very moderate. Fine parcels
sold at fully previous rates; otherwise the Oat trade
ruled dull. The sale for Beans was in a very inactive
state, at last week's prices. Very little was doing in
Peas, the value of which was basely supported. Indian
Corn and Meal were very dull. Flour—the demand for
which was heavy—us last advised.

SIVIZTEIZXELD.
During last week the imports of foreign Calves into
Lo' Aloft were considerably on the increase. Those of
Beasts were tole; ably good, but there was a very small
arrival of Sheep, even the time of year considered. The
general quality of the stock R as, however, geod. The
tit tl fresh supply amounted ti 979 head. During the
corresponding week in 1849 it amounted to 1.966, and
in the same period in 1848 to 1,546 head. We under.
stand that several additional steamers will be shortly
engaged in the Continental cattle traffic, and that the
present freights will be reduced 25 per cent.

About 300 head e f stock have been landed in the north-
ern outporta, and 116 Oxen have reached Southampton
from Vigo ; 50 of the latter were disposed of shortly
a'ter being landed, the remainder have arrived in the
metropolis per railway, in unusually good condition. A
large portion of the French Beats sold here are usually
landed at Newhaven, and thecce forwarded per railway.
We do not anticipate largo arrivals from France this
year, as the supply in that country, fit for our market,
is very small. The consumption being apparently on
the increases, prices are relatively higher than in this
market. Since our last report, the arrivals from Ireland
by sea have been confined to thirty Oxen from Cork.
Although the supply .of foreign stock here to-day was
bat moderate, the demand for it ruled. heavy, at droop-
ing prices. There were 40 Oxen on sale from Spain.
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of Beasts
fresh up this morning were considerably on the increase.
In their quality a decided improvement was noticed.
Notwithstanding that the attendance of buyers was
tolerably good, the Beef trade ruled exceedingly heavy,
at a decline in the quotations obtained on Monday last of
2d per 81bs. The top figure for the best Scots was
3s 10d per 81bs. At the close of business'several droves
left the market unsold. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex,
and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,100 Scots and Short*
horns; from the western and midland counties, as well
as from other parts of England, 1,000 Herefords,
Runts, Devour, &c.; and from Scotland, 200 Scots.
For the time of. 3 ear the supply of Sheep was tolerably
good, and in fair;average condition. All breeds were at
slow sale, at prices barely equal to those paid on this
day se'nnight. 3et a clearance was effected. The ex-
treme value of the best old Downs in the wool was 4s 6d
per 8 lbs. Those out of the wool went at 39 6d to 3s 10d
per 8 lbs. Calves were in moderate supply, and heavy
inquiry, at barely Friday's decline in the quotations.
In Pigs next to nothing was doing, and prices gave way
2d per 8 lbs.
