MARKET: NEWS. (YESTERDAY

CORN EXCIIAGICZ.,
The past week's arrivals of English Wheat have been on
a full average scale, for the time of year; but those of
Barley, Oats, Beans, and Peas, of home produce, have
proved small. Ot Foreign Barley and Oats, the imports
have been liberal. Fresh up, a limited supply of Wheat
was received coastwise, as well as by land carriage,
hence the stands were rather scantily filled with samples of
both Red and White. The extreme caution manifested on
the part of the millers in effecting purchases, caused the
demand for all descriptions to rule exceedingly inactive,
and, in some instances, when sales were pressed, the quo
tations had a downward tendtncy ; while, at the close of
business, a clearance was not effected. The general con-
dition of the samples was not first-rate. The
accounts respecting the Wheat plants are still favourable.
The show of fine foreign Wheat was small, yet the inquiry
for that article was in a very sluggish state, at barely, though
at nothing quotable beneath last week's prices. In Corn
under lock; next to nothing was doing. We had a good sup-
ply of fine foreign Barley on the stands; but that of English
was small. All kinds were again dull, and previons rates
were with difficulty supported. Malt, the supply of which
was good, met a very dull inquiry, and the currencies were
with difficulty supported. The aggregate quantity of Oats
being on the increase, that description of produce was dull,
at barely stationary prices. Both Beans and Peas were
again firm, and the quotations may be considered the turn
higher. Seeds were generally heavy, at late rates.

The late almost unprecedented advance—considering the
comparatively short period during which we have had to trace
the improved demand for the description of stock here al-
luded to—which has taken place in the value of Sheep in
this market has, as might be imagined, produced numerous
inquiries as to the probability of the present quotations being
supported for any length of time. As this is a matter of
such vital importance to graziers and others, especially at a
moment like this, when the transactions in store animals
are becoming extensive, we shall here lay before our readers
a few facts connected with the cattle trade as it now is, and
which may prove interesting, snd serve as a guide to pre-
sent and future operations in this and other markets. As-
sertions have, we find, gained currency, to the effect
that the quantity of stock in England, Sheep in particular,
is smaller than has been known for a series of years past.
We are quite ready to admit that in some districts (arising
from many of the flockmasters being compelled to dispose of
their supplies at a much earlier part of the season than
usual in consequence of the want of fodder, the result of last
year's protracted drought) such is positively the case, yet we
see no reason to justify the statements lately published, that
the arrivals of Sheep hither during the next three or four
months will be exceeding].) limited. So far as we have been
enabled to leans, the greatest deficiency appears to be in the
northern districts, to which large nambers of Sheep have been
lately sent from Norfolk, Suffolk, &c. Should, however, the num-
bers of that stock shown here prove even seasonably larger
during the present year, we conceive it is placed beyond
a doubt they will be light weighers, from the fact above
stated. Hence we are of opinion that—though, on account
perhaps of over-abundant supplies, the present extreme rates
rosy not be maintained during the next three weeks or a
month—prices will prove more remunerative than was the
case last year. Still, much remains in the hands of the
graziers themselves; for it must be evident that by sending
us large numbers of any kind of live stock, a fall in value will
be a necessary consequence. As an illustration of these re-
marks, we may refer to last Friday's trade. On that day the
numbers of Sheep and Lambs were 12,000, far above average
ones ; while to effect a clearance the salesmen were
compelled to submit to a reduction of quite
2d per 81bs. in the quotations. As respects the
slaughtered condition of the Sheep, we may observe
that it certainly exceeds our previously formed expectations,
vet we think the future supply of rough fat will be smaller
than usual. There is one circumstances connected with this
market demanding some attention—we mean the transmis-
sion of stock, per railway, for it. It has frequently happened
that the trains on some of the lines arrive in the metropolis
too late for the day's trade; hence very great losses are thus
incurred by the graziers. When we observe that nearly a
moiety of the Beasts and Sheep now sold here are received
per railway, all will agree with us that it has be-
come indispensably necessary that they should
come to hand as advertised by the various e. znla ties.
In the past week, three steamers, viz., the Giraffe C•jam•
bine, and Batavia, have arrived in the Port of Lona, n from
Rotterdam with live stock for this market. The number of
Beasts thus received has amounted to 125 head, in quality
making good saleable condition. At the outports, above 90
Oxen and Cows have been received from Holland. The
above imports, added to those previously advised, form the
following totals for the present year:—

Totals 1,680 ...... 903
The number of foreign Beasts here to-day was 100, the ►hole
of which found buyers, at prices varying from 181. to 19/.
each. From our own districts the Bullock droves fresh up
this morning were but moderate, and for the most part only
of middling quality. The attendance of buyers being tolerably
numerous, the Beef trade was steady, t hough not to say
brisk, and last week's quotations were supported in every
instance, the primest Scots producing 4s to 4s 2d per 81b.
Both the Beasts and Sheep were again suffering from the
epidemic, though instances of losses on the roads have not

been so numerous as we have before had occason to notice.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we re-
ceived 1,600 Scots, home-breds, and short horns; while from
the northern districts we received 150 short horns; from the
western and midland counties, 380 Herefords, Runts,Devons,
&c. ; from other parts of England 300 of various breeds; and
from Scotland 400 horned and polled Scots. With Sheep
we were scantily supplied for the time of year, hence the
Mutton trade was steady, at fully last Friday's cu rrencieS,
and a clearance was effected without difficultv. From the
Isle of Wight, 200 Lambs came to hand per railway; from
other parts the receipts were scanty, yet the Lamb trade was
exceedingly dull, at a decline on last week's quotations of
from 4d to 6d per Sibs. Calves, the supply of which was
moderate, sold heavily, on somewhat easier terms. The Pork
trade was rather inactive, but the prices ruled about
stationary.

Mutton have not been supported in every instance. This
circnmstance is chiefly attributed to the butchers entl.c.l.,
