MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE.-MONDAY.

The arrivals of all kinds of grain of home produce up
to our muket during the past week, have been only mo-
derate ; Tut those of Foreign Wheat, Barley, and Oats,
have been rather extensive. Rather a large quantity of
Wheat came to hand coastwise, as well as by land car-
-ffrooumrthKseonft'wEexhiscsh; and Cambridge-
ere of the present
srhiaigree,
year's growth, and of very superior
aatnleast
quality. Owing to
p
the fine weather for harvest work in the north of mt
rl ee
se
Eng-
land—for in the forward districts nearly the whole of the
grain has been secured—the demand for all kinds of
English Wheat was in a very sluggish state, and, in
order to effect sales, a decline in the currencies ob-
tained on Monday last of from is to 2s per quarter was
submitted to by the factors, and a clearance was not effeced.
The accounts which have come to hand to-day, relative
to the progress of field work, are in the highest degree
satisfactory. The show of free Foreign Wheat was good,
while the sale for that article was excessively heavy, at
an abatement in the quotations of 2s per quarter, while
in Corn under lock scarcely a transaction took place.
No English Barley at market, if we except a few parcels
of new, which were in middling condition. Foreign
parcels were heavy, but we have no alteration to report
in value. The best Malt was in retail inquiry at full
pFices. In other kinds next to nothing was doing. The
supply of Oats was not large. Fine potato qualities
were quite as dear; but other kinds were a mere drug.
Beans and Peas moved off slowly, yet previous rates
were supported. The Flour trade was very dull, at
barely stationary prices. In Seeds we have but few sales
to report, at late rates. _ .

For the time of year the supply of Beasts was very
extensive as to numbers, and of fair average quality.
This circumstance, together with the comparatively
small number of country buyers in attendance, and the
unfavourable state of the weather for slaughtering,
caused the Beef trade to rule excessively dull, at in some
instances a decline in the value of the ?rimest breeds of
2d, while the quotations of the middling and inferior
qualities were 4d per 81bs lower than on this day
se'nnight, without effecting a clearance ; indeed, nearly
400 Beasts left the market unsold. During the past
week the imports of foreign stock into London and the
various outports have been but moderate, they having
consisted of only 60 head from Rotterdam. This im-
portation shows the following result for the present year,
ending on Saturday last:—

To day there were only six oxen on offer from Rotter-
dam, but they commanded very little attention, and only
realised from 171 lOs to 181 58 each. The Bullock
droves, from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and North-
amptonshire, consisted of 1,600 short horns. From
Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, there
were received 400 Scots and homebreds ; from
the western and midland districts, 450 Herefords, runts,
Devons, lize.; from other parts of England, 380 of various
kinds; from Scotland, 260 horned and polled Scots; and
from Ireland, 60 beasts. The supply of Sheep being
again very large, the Mutton trade was in a depressed
state. However, in some instances, the primest Downs
sold at last week's quotations, or from 3s 10d to 4s, but
the general currencies suffered a decline of quite 2d per
81bs. As is almost invariably the case at this season,
the Lamb trade was very dull at almost nominal fig,ures.
The Veal trade was again heavy, and the quotations had
a downward tendency. Pigs were a mere drug, but not
cheaper.
