MARKET INEWs.—(THIS DAY

CORN EXCHANGE_MONDAY.
The supplies of home-grown Wheat on offer in the
eading country markets held on Saturday were but
moderate; nevertheless, the demand for most descrip-
tions was in a sluggish state. Fine parcels were mostly
disposed of at full prices; but the value of the middling
and inferior kinds gate way is per quarter. In 'Spring
Corn very little business was transacted, at barely pre-
' vious rates. The prices of Grain in the near continental
ports are relatively high. In the United States Flour is
held at somewhat enhanced currencies. The navigation
of the Baltic is still closed. Up to our market lasteweek,
coastwise, the arrivals of Grain were very small. Those
from Ireland and Scotland were trifling in the extreme.
From abroad we received only 593 quarters of Wheat,
2,800 of Barley, 3,406 of Beans, 47 of Linseed, 358 of
Rapeseed, 450 of Indian Corn, and 1,989 sacks of Flour.
The continuance of strong gales of wind having pre-
vented the arrival of several ships laden with Grain,
the receipts of English Wheat fresh up to this morning's
market was very small, and its quality was by no metals
good, owing to the prevailing damp weather. The Essex,
Kent, and Suffolk stands were unusually bare of sam-
ples of both red and_ white; and the dew aadi for all
kinds ruled steady, at prices qui!e equal to those ob-
tained on Monday last. Prior to the close of business a
good clearance had been effected. Several offers came
to hand from our various eastern shipping ports to
forward Wheats at very low prices; but as there is
every prospect of early and large importations from the
continent, scarcely any contracts were entered
into. The show of fresh foreign Wheat was
trifling ; but the market was well supplied
with granaried samples. Fine qualities sold to a
fair extent, at full rates of currency. In the middling
and inferior kinds very few sales of magnitude took
place, and late currencies remained unaltered. There
was evidently more disposition on the part of the im-
porters to hold. For the time of year the supply of
Barley, both English and foreign, was tolerably good.
In grinding and distilling qualities rather more business
was transacted, at full quotations. Malting parcels
were dull, but not cheaper. The quantity of Malt on
offer, ready for delivery, was large. Nearly all kinds
met a very slow inquiry, and late rates were
with difficulty supported. Very few • Oats were
on offer from any quarter. On the whole, the
Oat trade ruled firm, at full prices. The
market was very moderately supplied with Peas,
the demand for which was in a sluggish state, at previous
quotations. Very few English Beans were brought for-
ward; but the supply of Foreign was good. Most kinds
moved off slowly, at late ratee. Indian Corn and Meal
were offering at reduced prices. There was rather more
doing in Flour at last week's currencies. The nominal
top price tithe best town-made was 40s per 280Ibs.

SEED IVICAREET.
English Rapeseed is in steady request, on somewhat
higher terms. In all other Seeds very little business is
doing at last week's prices. Cakes continue heavy. The
stock of Clover Seed in bond is M,090 cwts.

SMITIIPIELD.
As the navigation in Holland is still closed, and as
he weather has been extremely boisterous, the imports
i foreign stock into London last week were small, viz.,
971 head. During the same period in 1848 the importa-
tions amounted to 200, and at the same time in 1849 to
1,408 head. The general quality of the stock at hand
since our last has proved interior. 1

Scarcely any s4toock—has reached the— .o" outp2orts.... From
Ireland 43 Oxen and 90 Pigs have come to hand by sea
for this market. The supply of foreign stock on offer
to-day was very limited, and of but middling quality.
Fresh up to our market this morning, the arrivals of
home-fed Boasts were but moderate. Their genetal con-
dition was, however, somewhat superior to those exhi-
bited for some weeks past. Owing to the unfavourable
state of the weather for slaughtering, the Beef trade
ruled exceedingly inactive, at barely last Monday's quo-
tations. The top figure for the bvst Scots was 3s 10d
per Sibs, at which a clearance was not effected. Flom
Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received
1,940 Scots end Short-horns; from the Northern
Counties 300 Short-horns; and from other parts rf
England, 750 Herefords, Runts, Devons, ke. The
Scotch supply was only 120 head. Comparatively
speaking, the number of Sheep were small. As the
qrrivals of dead meat up to Nevagate and Leadenhall
have fallen off. the Mutton trade ruled steady, at
Fri-
day's improvement in value of 2d per Blbs. The primeet
old Downs sold at from 4s 2d to4a 4d per 81b. The supply
cf Calves was again limited, while the Veal trade
proved tolerably firm, at last week's currencies. In
,Pigs very little business was trail:a:tea; but we have
no change to notice in value.

S!uce our last report very moderate supplies ( f coun-
cry-killed meat have been received up to theia ft:whets;
but those on offer killed in the metropolis have proved
seasonably extensive. From its scarcity, fine Mutton
has commanded a steady sale, at an advance in the quo-
tations of 2d ter 8 lbs. In Veal a full average amount
of business has been tra,.isucted, at full prices, All
other kinds of meat have met a very slow inquiry, and
late rates have been with difficulty supported. A few
carcases of house Lamb have been disposed of.
