MARKET NEWS.--(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
The country markets held on Saturday were fairly
supplied with English wheat, the demand for whit
was in a sluggish state, at drooping prices. In ePrieb
corn and flour very little business was transacted, bat
no material charge was noticed in value. From
.t,119
near continental ports we learn that very large quant4leS
cf Flour have continued to change hands on English'
Irish and Scotch account. We have later advices frnin
New York, which represent the demand there as boil'
Somewhat increased supplies of English grain were re;
ceived up to our market last week. From abroto•
8,764 quarters of Wheat, 5,140 ditto of Berl'
14,279 ditto of Oat', 1,557 ditto of Beans, 21
ditto of Peas, 439 ditto of Tares, 230 ditto °
Linseed, 10 ditto of Mustard seed, 123 ditto
of sundry seeds, and 3,681 sacks of Flour came to hand'
Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Wheat
frcm Essex and Kent, coastwise, were very mcderets
From Liricolnshire, &c., scarcely any samples carne
hand. The rece'pts by land carriage were trifling. Thea
general quality of the parcels on show being good an
the at'endance of buyers on the increase, the demand
for all kinds cf English Wheat was steady, at prices
quite equal to those obtained on Monday last, anti
which a good clearance was effected. Several offal
came to hand to ship Wheats from the East coast et
present currencies. About 1,600 quarters were taken
by the London millers. The supply of fresh foreign
Wheat was somewhat en the increase, and We
had a good show of granaried samples. Fin
parcels commanded a steady inquiry, at fti!';
lest week's quotations. In the middling and inferior
kinds only a moderate amount of business was doing;
yet late rates were mostly supported. The supply.
English Barley was tolerably large—that of Foreign
on the increase. Good sound parcels sold at ii!1„
rates of currency. Otherwise, the Barley trade was !'"
a sluggish gate, but no decline was submitted to im
value. With Malt we were again well supplied. 41
kinds were a slow sale, at last week's currencies. The
quantity ready for delivery was extecsive. Tut'
total supply of Oats exceeded 20,000 quarters
including Vie late imports from abroad. 2.41°5;
kinds moved off slowly, at unaltered quotatio.ns•
In Beans, the supply of which was not to say extensive,
comparative ly little was doing, at last week's prices;
The demand for Pease was restricted to retail prices, a°
late rates. Indisn Corn and Meal were offering on log
terms. The transactions in Flour were on the increase'
at cur quotations.

From Ireland 58 Oxen, 42 Sheep, and 45 Pigs, have colt_
direct by sea for this market. At the outports the
arrival of foreign beasts have been very moderlite
Fresh up to day, the receipts of home-fed beasts were„
seasonably extensive as to number, and of full averag
quality. Notwithstanding that the attendance of 130 s
town and country buyers was tolerably good, and that
the wetrher was favourable for slaughtering, the be;
trade ruled exceedingly inactive, at barely last week'
quotations. The highest figure tor the best Scots was °III
as 61 per 81bs, and a total clearance was not efffe,t.e.„.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgespil
we received 2,100 Short-horns and Scots ; from
other parts of England, 750 Herefords, Runts, Dev°l36'
Scots, &e.; and from Scotland 350 horned and polled Scots.
There was a slight decrease in the number of She?'
For nearly all breeds the demand was steady, and'e
some instances, rather more money was obtained for
best Downs in the wool. The general top figure (1.1
not exceed 4s 4d per 81bs. Shorn Downs wero
at 3s 6d to 3s 8d per 81bs. Lambs were in moderate
supply, and sluggibh inquiry, at from 5s to 6s per 8.11)11;
The Yea trait) was far from active; nevertheless, ftrfeE
were mostly supported. In Pigs, very little business
was transacted, at late rates.
