wise as well as by land carriage, and samples have been
unusually small, and of very middling quality. Of other
kinds of English Grain, including Flour, the receipts were 01
a full average scale. The imports of Foreign Wheat an
Flour were seasonably good; white the fresh supply
of Iri
Oats was, on the whole, extensive. Fresh up, very
English Wheat came to hand, either from Essex, Kent, or
Cambridgeshire, consequently the stands were scantily stir
plied with samples of that description of produce. The
attendance of both London and country deal'
ers—most of whom were very short of stock"—
being large, the best parcels of English Wbett'
both red and white, commanded a steady se'"
at an advance in the currencies obtained on this day se'nnighti
of from is to 2s per quarter, and at which a good clearance°
such sorts was effected. In the middling and inferior kinds 0,
English Wheat—which formed the bulk of the supply—a fuli
average amount of business was done, at very full prices.

For selected parcels the demand ruled steady at extrenle
figures ; but other descriptions commanded very little atte.n•

was unimportant; yet the importers were firm, and in some

not sell their Wheats, except at higher rates, say of is per cir•
We had rather an extensive supply of English Barley oil
show. Very little of it was, however, fit for plaiting por'
poses. Selected parcels, therefore, commanded a ready sate'
at full prices. In other kinds exceedingly little was donor
and a clearance of such was not effected. Superfine
season-made Malt moved off freely, and prices were well
supported, while all other kinds were quite as dear. Net"
withstanding the large arrival of Oats from Ireland last week,

the quantity= of that article here to-day was not to say exten-
sive. This circumstance must be attributed to a large
portion of the supply having been landed in granary, the
holders preferring holding forward rather than submit to
present prices. The Oat trade must he considered fine at
very full prices. The supply of Beans was moderately good;
all descriptions moved off slowly at late rates. In Peas A
good business was done, yet no advance was noticed in value►
The Flour trade was steady at full prices.

From our own grazing districts the arrivals of Beasts fresh
up to this morning's market were very limited, and of ,
inferior,
quality, owing to which, and the increased attendance of
both town and country buyers, the Beef trade was steady, at,
in most transactions, an advance in the currencies obtained ea
this day se'nnight of 2d. per Sibs., a few very inferior Aber-
deenshire and West Island Soots, producing 4s. 6d. per 811*
Some time before the close of the trade the whole, of the
Beasts had changed hands. The northern droves of BeastS,
comprised about 900 short-horns. From the Western 05
Midland districts the receipts were 400 Herefords, Devoe*
Rants' &c. ; from other parts of England 250 of various
breeds; from Scotland t3O Scots, and from Ireland, 60 Beast*
