THE MARKETS.--(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.
Last week's arrivals of English Grain were tolerably
good, and considerable of Foreign Wheat and Oats; and
there was anether good fresh supply of English Wheat.
The fair weather, together with the large stock of Wheat on
hand, rendered the Wheat trade excessively dull at 4s. to ss.
per quarter reduction from last week's terms, and Foreign 29.
to 3s. per quarter lower, with a limited demano. Barley,
Beans. and Pease meet a very slow sale at former prices. Oats
very dull, and hardly supported their former currency. Flour
is expected lower, but the top price has not settled.

Although the number of Beasts was small yet trade was not
very brisk, and but little alteration in prices from our last quo-
tations. Prime Down Sheep were in demand, and sold readily
at full rates, but other sorts anti Lamb trade were exceedingly
heavy, and prices were lower. Calves being few the trade was
brisk. The Pork trade was slow without any alteration.
