MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE.MONDAY

During the past week the arrivals of all kinds of grain
np to our markets, coastwise as well as by land carriage,
were, compared with those of some previous periods, ra-
ther limited, but of full average quality. Fresh up only
a moderate quantity of wheat, neurly the whole of which
was of the present year's growth, came to hand from
Essex and Kent, as well as Suffolk; hence the stands were
rather scantily filled with samples of that grain. The
attendance of millers being numerous, the finest qualities
of English wheat were in somewhat active request, at
fully, in some instances a trifle beyond, the prices ob-
tained on aloaday- last, at which the whole was disposed
of. in all other descriptions a steady business was doing
and last week's currencies were readily supported. All
fears respecting the harvest may now be considered as at
an end, for, with the exception of a few patches of ()eta
and beans, in the most northern districts, the whole of
the grain has been secured in England.
The quantity of free ForeignW heat on offer was by no
means large ; indeed, many speculators have withdrawn
their samples from the market for the present. For
most descriptions of that article the sale was steady, at
prices fully equal to those paid on this day ae'nnight.
Bonded Grain, however, was a mere drug, and almost
nominal in Taint. Of English Barley the show was not
large, but the supply of foreign was tolerably extensive.
The trade was, on the whole, steady, particularly with
the best English malting parcels, and prices were well
supported. The supply of Malt was by no means large,
and most of the parcels found buyers at full currencies.
Of Oats the show was extremely small, in consequence
of the non-arrival of the vessels from Ireland. All kinds
moved off freely, and last week's rates were freely paid
by the dealers, who took nearly the whole of the arrivals.
Beans, of all kinds, were in steady inquiry at full quo-
tations. In Peas but little was doing, yet prices were
supported. The Flour trade was rather dull, at late
rates. Linseed and Rapeseed were in demand at full
prices. In other kinds of seeds but little was doing.

There was exhibited one of the largest bullock sup-
plies almost ever recollected to have been brought for-
ward at this period of the year, not less than 1,900 short
horns having been received from the northern counties,
with comparatively larger arrivals from other quarters.
Notwithstanding, however, the extent of the supply, the
increase of which has, unquestionably, been caused prin-
cipally from the shortness of winter keep, its general
quality was tolerably good, while very few instances of
disease were noticed amongst any breed. The attendance
of both London and country buyers was numerous, yet
the Beef trade was in a very sluggish state. However,
the primest sorts were disposed of at 3s 10d per Sibs,
being 2d under the quotations obtained on Monday last.
All other kinds of beasts--a clearance of which was not
effected—suffered fully that amount of depression, with
a very heavy sale. During the past week the
imports of foreign stock have been large, they
having amounted to 80 oxen and cows, together
with 15 sheep, in the port of London from Rot-
terdam ; 12 oxen and cows at Hull, from Bamburgh ;
and 4 oxen at Southampton, from Spain. The supply
here to-day, was composed of 30 Dutch beasts, in the
quality of which a slight improvement over previous im-
portations was noticed. The prices obtained varied from
181 to 191 each. The above, added to previous arrivals,
makes the total imports this year as under :
London 1,400 oxen and cows.
Liverpool BO f I
Hull
Southampton ...• .
Devonport

Total 2,327 head.
Of Sheep, about 360 head have come to band in the
course of the season. From Lincolnshire, Leicester-
shire, and Northamptonshire we received 1,900 short
horns ; from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire, 400 Scots and Home-breds ; from
the western and midland counties, 600 Herefords,
Devon,, runts, &c. ; from other parts of England 400 of
various breeds ; from Scotland 200 horned and polled
Scots ; and from Ireland 40 Beasts. The numbers of
Sheep were again rather extensive, owing to which, and
the dead markets being well supplied with Mutton, the
demand for this kind of stock was very inactive. In
some few instances the primest Dowas found buyers at
the prices obtained on Monday last, or from 3s 10d to 4s
per Blbs ; but the value of all other breeds declined
quite 2d per 81bs. Lambs being now quite out of season,
we have discontinued to quote them. The supply of
Calves was good, while the Veal trade was in a very
depressed state, at barely stationary prices. Prime
small Porkers were quite as dear, but other qualities
were a dull sale.
