CORN-EXCHANGE--MONDAY.

-
The arrivals of all kinds of Grain, of home produce,
during the past week have been only moderate for the
time of year ; but the imports of Ferign Wheat, Barley,
and Oats have been extensive. Fresh up to-day we received
a full average supply of Wheat, coastwise:as well as by
land carriage and sample, at least three-fourths of which
were of the present year's growth, and of very superior
quality. There was rather an extensive number of
bit) era in attendance, while the sale for new English
Wheat was steady at fully last week's prices,
or from 53s to 58s per quarter : but, with other
kinds of wheat the trade ruled heavy, at, in most
transactions, a decline in the quotations of ls. per
quarter, and a clearance of such was not effected. There
was a very large quantity of free Foreign Wheat offer-
ing. The demand for that description of grain was in a
very sluggish state, and prices had, in some instances,
downward tendency. There was scarcely a sample of
English Barley, at market ; but the supply of free Fe'
reign was good. The Barley trade ruled inactive, but
we have no variation to notice in the quotations. The
best Ware Malt was quite as dear. In other kinds the
supply of Wheat was good ; next to nothing was doing.
The display of Oat samples was not large ;• yet, the sale
for that article was inactive, at late rates. Old Beans
were in demand at 3s per quarter more money. In other
kinds very little was doing. The sale for Peas wag
steady, at Is per quarter advance on last week's rates.
The Flour trade was heavy, at barely late rates. IA
Seeds very little was doing.

Compared with that exhibited on this day se'nniet"
the supply of Beasts was somewhat numerous. ill
weather being rather favourable for slaughtering, lv„--
the attendance of buyers good, the Beef trade, partic";
larly with the primest Scots, runts, &c., was steady, 6'
prices quite equal to those obtained last week. 1-10_,W:
ever, a total clearance was not effected till a late to•
n;
We had on sale only six Oxen from Rotterdam, which
met a heavy sale at from 171 lOs to 1815 s each. 'L „,P"
arrrival of Beasts from our northern grazing district'
consisted of about 1,000 short-horns. Thos e from Norf°ll'
Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, comprised 500 Sc°ts
and homebreds; from the western and midland counties'
500 Herefords, Devons, runts, &c., from other parts °f
England, 300 of various breeds, and from Scotland, 150
horned and polled Scots. The numbers of sheep were
again extensive. Prime old Downs, which were ratherr
scarce, produced full prices ; but the value of otte„
breeds arising from a heavy demand was with diffico,s,"J
supported. Very little business was transacted in Lauw"
the supply of which was tolerably good, at about 5t
tionary prices. Calves met a heavy inquiry at bate')
late rates. In Pigs very little was doing.

The arrivals of country-killed Meat up to the G,
markets during the past week hare been only to si.e.
mited extent, but of fair average quality. The suPiol
slaughtered in the metropolis have been by no meginstho
extensive, yet they have proved quite equal to meet,ol
wants of the buyers. Prime Beef, Mutton, and ,V.

One of the principal features we have to notice in°for
market is a considerable improvement in the demand in
all descriptions of British Wool, and a trifling advaorto
the quotations of that article. This improvement P..v.
been principally caused by the increased activity ever,'
where apparent in the manufacturing districts, as we
to the improvement in our export trade. Although It
of the large flock-masters have withheld the bulk order
present year's clip from the market for the present, a 5 st
the impression that prices will, ere long, rule higher Or; 0
present, the supplies in London are quite as extens:Lost
has been observed at the corresponding periods Of of
past seasons. From this it is evident that the gre/vta of
Wool this year has been extremely large, an„,4o(
very superior quality. It is estimated that, 0w,014
the past week not less than 28,000 fleeces have been tber
in London, and transmited to Manchester snat.,.°4ol
places. About 10,000 of this was flannel and nu' 50
wool; the remainder combing and Down Hoggits, fps
far as the future value of wool is concerned we sre2ob'
of opinion that, though a slight advance mit ]og4
tained in it, the improvement will not, for wen",
supplies, exceed that at present noticed. South:be
Hoggits may now be quoted at is ld to is 2d; 114'14
ditto, is 2id to Is 3d; Kent Fleeces, I lid to it;
Flannel Wool, lOid to Is Id; Blanket ditto, 6idht:ftl#,
Swinton Fleeces, llid to Is id per lb. The efferb..:ooo
abolition of the duty is clearly exemplified by the inc's:ass,
importations of wool. It will be remembered that; ;00
weeks since, the largest public sales of colonist' tllO
ever held in this country took place, yet near gig
1
whole of the parcels brought forward, amonn"„7o.:
about 25,000 bales, were disposed of at full prices' 111
this, too, with the prospect of other auctions 1,,
large. The importations of wool from our .Anstr,,t/oesi
colonies during the present year, have exceeded ti." roe
last by about 17,000 packages, while those of 'toes
have somewhat declined. It is gratifying. tea restll
that the Colonial Wool now comes to hand in
improved condition. Formerly, great complainneb.:
made as to false packing, but now scarcely a silbel,r.
comes to hand in that state; hence all classes n`dissr:_,,
are exhibiting more confidence in effecting been or,
During the past week, about 2,000 bales have heel, tr
imported from New South Wales, which, added, fist
e;
previous arrivals undisposed of, causes the stock 11,031 c,,,
house to exceed 24,600 bales, a large portion 01,1,00'
will be submitted to public competition about the Sorj
of September. Of Foreign Wool the imports on IS'
exceeded 700 bales. The quotations of Austrian, ;,,,,c
now range from 9d to 2s 10d ; of Cape, 7d t°,,ydr
Spanish, is 4d to is 10d ; of German, is 9d to
