MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
The principal country markets held on Saturday
were very moderately supplied with Wheat; yet the de-
mand for all descriptions was in a depressed state, and
prices had, in some instances, a downward tendency.
All spring Corn and Flour moved off slowly, at barely
late rates. Letters from Odessa and Dantxig state that
very few Foreign orders were on those markets.
Holders, however, were firm. In the near continental
ports, large quantities of Flour have changed bands for
shipment to England and Ireland. The arrivals of most
articles of English Grain up to our market, last week,
were very moderate, except those of Malt and Flour.
From abroad, we received 5,674 quarters of Wheat,
1,152 ditto of Barley, 112 ditto of Oats, 2,997 ditto of
Beans, 110 ditto of Peas, 1,485 ditto of Tares, 8 ditto
of Rape-seed, 99 ditto of Mustard-seed, 352 ditto of
sundry seeds, 6,485 sacks and 60 barrels of Fiour.
Later advices have just come to hand, per the Europa,
from New York, which arrived at Liverpool this morn-
ing. The business doing in breadatuffs was trifling, at
unaltered quotations. Fresh up to this morning's mar-
ket, a very limited supply of home-grown Wheat reached
us coastwise from Essex, Kent, and all other quarter:.
By land carriage the receipts were trifling. Notwith-
standing that the show of samples of both red and white
was trifling, the demand for all kinds of Wheat ruled
extremely inactive, at prices barely equal to those ob-
tained ou Monday last. Still, however, the bulk of the
supply was disposed of prior to the close of business.
Several offers came to hand fcom Lincolnshire and else-
where to ship Wheats at drooping prices. The millers,
however, owsngto the immense quantities of French Flour
offering for sale, were very cautious in their operations.
Although the imports of foreign Wheat last week
were very moderate, even the time of year considered,
the quantity on show to-day Ras in excess of the de
wand. All descriptions were a dull sale, but we have no
actual fall to notice in the currencies. Very few really
fine qualities were brought forward. The supply of
English Barley was seasonably large, that of foreign
comparatively small. Selected parcels for seed pur-
poses were taken at full prices. Grinding and distilling
sorts were dull. A very large supply of Malt, upwards
of 15,000 quarters, was brought forward. The demand
for that article was heavy in the extreme, and the quo-
tations ruled the turn in favour of the buyers without
effecting a clearance. The supply of Oats was very
moderate, yet most kinds moved off heavily at barely
last week's currencies. In Beans very few transactions
took place. In prices we have no change to notice. The
sale for Peas was slow at last week's quotations. Indian
Corn and Meal were dull in the extreme. The show of
Flour, both English and foreign, was large, hence the
demand for all kinds ruled heavy at unaltered cur-
rencies.

SEED MARKET.
The supp'y ( f Seeds on otter to-day was seasonably
extensive. Generally speaking, the demund ruled
heavy, at our quotations. Cakes moved off slowly, at
barely stationary prices. The stock of Clover Seed, in
bond, is 47,200 cwts.

SMITHFIELD.
Notwithstanding that the navigation in Holland is now
re-open, the imports of foreign stock into London last
week was very moderate. The total arrival amounted
to only 1,228 bead, a large number of which was com-
posed of Beasts and Calves. During the correspotiding
period in 1848, we received 1,020, and at the same time
in 1849, 2,616 head.

By sea, from Ireland, 34 Beasts and 42 l'igs have arrived
for this market. We learn that further purchases of
stock have been made in Spain fur shipment hither. A
very moderate supply of foreign stock was on sale in to-
day's market. Its general quality was by no means
first-rate. From our own grazing districts the arrival
of Beasts, fresh up this morning, were somewhat less
than those exhibited on Monday last ; nevertheless,
they exceeded the wants of the buyers, whose attendance
was tolerably numerous. For the few prime Scots on
offer the demand slightly improved. In prices, however,
no advance took place, the highest figure for Beef being
3s 8d per 81bs. :The middling and inferior Beasts moved
off heavily, at barely stationary prices. The general
condition of the stock was good. From Norfolk, Suf-
folk, Essex, aLd Cambridgeshire, we received about 2,000
Short Horns and Scots; from the Western, Midland, and
all other parts of England, 800 Herefords, Bunts, Devons,
&c. ; and from Scotland 180 Scots, chiefly polled.
The numbers of Sheep were seasonably large. All
breeds were vt ry slow in sale, at Friday's decline in
prices of 2d per 81bs. The very primest old Downs, in
the wool, sold at 4s 2d to 4s 4d; those out of the wool
3s 6d to 3s 8d per 81bs. There were about 1,400 Shear-
lings on offer. For the few Lambs in the market the
demand Is as in a very sluggish state, at from 51 to 6s
per Blbs. Calves were in short supply and slow inquiry,
at last week's currencies. The Pork trade was heavy.
In prices, however, we have no change to report.
