MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.-MONDAY.

The arrivals of English Wheat for our market during the
whole of last week were on a very moderate scale, though
of somewhat improved quality. The imports of all kinds of
foreign Grain, as well as the receipts of Oats from Ireland,
were, the time of year considered, limited. Fresh up, very
little Wheat reached us, either by land-carriage or sample,
yet the show of English parcels—many of which were on
offer this day se'nnight—was on the whole, rather extensive.
The rumours in circulation to the effect that an alteration in
the present corn-laws is in contemplation had a moat ex-
traordinary effect upon the demand for Wheat of home pro-
duce. The attendance of both town and country buyers was
large, yet the uncertainty which the above rumour pro-
duced. caused tham to act with considerable caution. In

some instances the holders demanded—though they did not
obtain—an advance in the quotations of English Wheat of
from 2s to 3s per quarter; others, on the contrary, were dis-
posed to sell at that amount of depression. Hence it will
be observed we had much, difficulty in ascertaining the exact
state of the trade. However, we may observe that the finest
qualities (though the trade must be called a dull one) were,
in most instances, disposed of at prices about equal to those
obtained on this day se'nnight ; but the middling and in-
ferior kinds must be considered from is to 2s per quarter
cheaper than on that day. At the close of business a portion
of the supply remained unsold. The show of free Foreign
Wheat was not large, yet the causes before-mentioned ope-
rated upon the sale for that article. The best parcels were,
however, held at full prices; but other kinds might have
been purchased on somewhat easier terms—say of Is per
quarter. Holders of Bonded Wheats were extravagant in
their demands—many of them refusing to sell except at 4s
to 5s per quarter more money. So few were the trans-
actions, that the quotations were almost nominal.
The supply of English Barley was somewhat on the increase,
but that of foreign was small. For the best malting and
grinding sorts, the sale wvs very steady, at fully, but at
nothing, quotable beyond last week's currencies. In other
descriptions, exceedingly little was doing, yet the prices
were supported. We had a fair retail inquiry for Malt,
especially for pale, and previous rates were maintained
in every instance, still a clearance. notwithstanding the supply
was comparatively small, was not effected. Last week, only
about 8,000 quarters of Oats came to hand from Ireland.
Since the return was made up, nine vessels (all reported this
morning) have come in trona Dublin, Waterford, and Cork,
yet the show of samples of that article was small, and
unusually high prices were demanded. The Oat trade
must be considered. firm, and in some transactions
an improvement in the prices paid on Monday.
last of from Gd to is per quarter, at which nearly the whole
found buyers., In Bonded Oats several sales were concluded
at higher prices, owing to the decline in the duty. We had
a fair average quantity of Beans in the market, while the
sale for them was steady, at very full prices. Although the
price of Peas was on the increase, a large business was doing,
and the quotations had an upward tendency. Peas under
lock is to 2s dearer. The Flour trade was rather dull; ne-
vertheless the late advance in the quotations was main-
tained. In Seeds, particularly in Canary, Rapeseed, and Lin-
seed, a good businees was doing, at rather more money.

The imports of live stock from abroad into London during
the past week have consisted of 140 Oxen and Cows, toge-
ther with 240 Sheep, and 8 Calves from Rotterdam ; and 20
Oxen from Hamburgh, in, for the most part, good condition.
This morning we had on sale 96 Dutch Oxen and Cows and
130 Sheep, the whole of which found buyers at about previous
quotations. At Hull about 300 Beasts and Sheep have ar-
rived. The number would have been larger had not two
cargoes of Beasts on their way from Rotterdam been thrown
overboard, in consequence of the late gales. From our own
grazing districts the fresh arrivals of Beasts this morning
were very extensive, and of full average quality;
indeed, there were some of the best short-horns in the
market we ever witnessed at this period of the year.
Although the attendance of buyers was good, the Beef trade
was very dull, at a decline in the quotations obtained on
Monday last of 2d per Sibs, and a clearance was not effected.
The northern droves of beasts amounted to 2,100 short-horns ;
those from the eastern counties comprising 400 Scots; from
the western and midland districts 800 Herefords, Devons,
Runts, &c. ; from other parts of England 200 of various
kinds ; from Scotland 90 Scots ; and from Ireland, partly
by railway, and partly by steamers direct, 300 beasts.
The numbers of Sheep being on the increase, the sale for
that description of stock was very inactive. Prime old
Downs, which were scarce, produced full currencies ; . but all
other kinds suffered a decline of 2d per 81bs. Calves were in
moderate supply, and heavy demand, at Friday's depression.
Nearly 250 Pigs were on sale from Ireland. The Pork trade
Was in a sluggish state, and prkes were not supported.
