MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

Ctli.lW-EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
During the plst fiei2k the arrivals of Wheat up to our
market were on a very flintierate wale. Of foreign
Wheat no import took place, whi the receipts of all
other grain were scanty. Fresh up, very "Attie Wheat of
home produce came to hand, coastwise or by land-car-
riage ; hence the show of samples of that article was
small. Fine qualities of both red and white commanded
a ready sale, at fully last week's quotations ; but in aL
other kinds only a limited business was doing, at late
rates, while a good clearance was effected previous to the
close of the market. Fine heavy free foreign Wheat
was quite as dear. In all other kinds, as well
as bonded parcels, next to nothing was doing. The
supply of all kinds of Barley was small. As the malt-
sters are mostly at work, Malting parcels commanded
a ready sale, at an advance of is per quarter, while the
value of other kinds were supported. A large quantity
of foreign Barley has been released during the week.
Very little Malt was offering, yet the inquiry fur it was
by no means active, at late rates. The Oat trade was ac-
tive, at 6d per quarter more money. Both Beans and
Peas moved off freely, at an advance in the currencies
of Is per quarter. Rather more was doing in Flour, but
we cannot improve our quotations.

The number of Beasts offered in our market were, the
time of year considered, extensive ; but their general
quality, was very inferior. The attendance of buyers
being numerous, the primest breeds commanded a ready
sale, at fully the late improvement in the currencies--
the best Scots producing quite 4s per Bibs ; but in all
other kinds, only a limited amount of business was doing,
at about stationary prices. However, at the close of the
market, a good clearance was effected. Notwithstanding
the late fine rains, a great scarcity of grass is still com-
plained of, hence the few store beasts here this morning
met a very dull inquiry, at miserably low figures.
During the last week the imports of foreign stock into
London and the outports have been very extensive, they
having amounted to about 200 beasts and 80 sheep from
Holland and Germany. These arrivals, added to those
previously advised, form the following totals for the pre-
sent year :
London 1,589 oxen and cows.

The actual number of Sheep imported has been 586.
To-day we had 30 Beasts and 20 Sheep on offer from
Holland, but they sold heavily, at about previous figures.
The Bullock droves from the northern grazing districts
consisted of 2,000 Short Horns. From Norfolk, Suffolk,
Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 400 Scots and
Homebreds ; from the western and midland counties, 600
Herefords, Devons, Hunts, &c. ; from other parts of Eng-
land, 300 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 212 horned
and polled Scots ; and from Ireland, 40 beasts. The
supply of Sheep was considerably less than that exhi-
bited on this day se'nnight, while the Mutton trade was
rather active, at full prices. In Calves and Pigs, the
supplies of which were on the whole good, a fair business
was doing at last week's quotations.

For the time of year, the arrivals of Meat from distant
parts have been tolerably good, and of fair average
quality. Notwithstanding the supplies of meat killed in
the metropolis have been extensive, the demand for the
primest descriptions has ruled steady, at very full prices.
In all other kinds, a fair business has been doing, at late
rates. Upwards of 30 carcases of Dutch beasts, and 20
carcases of Foreign Sheep, have been brought forward;
the former realised 3s, the latter 2s 10d per 81bs.
