LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 14

The supplies last week were tolerably good of all sorts of grain,
both English and Foreign, and we had an arrival of 141,604 sacks of
Flour, together with 3,:rpo barrels of Foreign. This morning's
market the supply fresh up is short of Wheat, and only moderate
of other grain. The Wheat trade is full Is per quarter cheaper than
this day week for both English and Foreign samples. Barley is
also Is lower. Oats are not cheaper for good qualities, though the
trade is slow for such, and inferior are hardly saleable. Beans and
Peas are in moderate request at last week's prices. Fleur without
alteration. In grass Seeds we have but little doing. The absence
of demand causes the trade to be generally dull.
‘VEDNESDAY, March 17.

There is nothing going forward this morning; the retail business
in Wheat and Oats, for immediate consumption, is nominally at the
rates of lastmarket day. The samples of Irish grain are very in.
ferior, and the effect is considerable on the London averages, by
the low price which is obtained for Wheat and Oats from the Irish
ports. The unsettied state of the Corn Bill, and the uncertainty of
the mode and time of its operation, is against all speculative trade
in any description of grain.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, MARCH 14

The attendance of both London and country buyers was on the
the whole fair ; yet the receipts of Beasts—the principal portion of
which, about 2,220. came to hand from Norfolk—being larger than
were those exhibited here on this day se'nnight, by about 300, they
were by far greater than required to meet the demand ; hence an
abatement on last week's currencies of 2d per 81b was submitted
to, the primest Scots not exceeding 4s 4d, the Shorthorns 4s per
811,s, and nearly 400 were turned out unsold at the close of the
trade. The Devons, runts, and Herefords were mostly prime, as
were also the horned and polled Scots from Aberdeen and Perth—
in number about 230—fully :100 more, together with 140 Sheep,
being now on their way hitherto from those quarters. There was
another large arrival of Sheep, comprising nearly all breeds, which
caused the Mutton trade to rule unusually dull, and another abate.
ment was noticed in the rates to the amount of per sib : and we
can quote no higher a general figure for the best old Downs,
though a few selected pens may have produced a trifle more money,
wit!; difficulty, than 48 10d per Sibs. Some of the long wools were
slightly affected with lameness. hut the Dewns were in good order.
All the Sheep were not disposed of. There were about 400 Shear-
ling Lincolns, Leicesters, and Kents on sale, which moved off
slowly, at from 3s led to 45 per Bibs, but none arrived from Sussex.
From Essex, Kent, and Surrey, nearly ass Lambs came to hand, but
they were not very gay. However, in many transactions, the best
of them sold at 7s 2d per Bibs, other kinds being a mere drug. No
receipts by any mode of conveyance from the Isle of Wight, but
some are shortly expected thence per railway. Most of the
butchers complain of their weighing qualities, and evince great
caution in their purchases; the same as regards the Sheep, many
of the latter of which are found to be much infected with water.
Calves were in moderate supply, yet the inquiry for them was very
inanimate, and the highest figure realized for the best description
of Veal was as Sd per Sibs. Neat small porkers sold freely, other
kinds of Pigs slowly, at barely stationary prices. A few Irish Pigs
came to hand.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, MARcia 15. •
A few small parcels of English and Irish Wheat, with a
moderate quantity of Barley and Malt coastwise, have been
received here since this day week ; but of other sorts of free
grain the supplies are light, and of Oatmeal less than usual.
—Daring the same time we have to report some farther ar-
rivals of Wheat from the South of Europe, and from the
American States 1847 barrels of Flour.
Anticipating the release of some portion of the bonded
stocks of Grain and Flour ere long, and influenced also by
the general depression in the leading markets of the king-
dom, our local buyers still continue extremely cautious in
their proceedings; having, however, several country millers
down to-day, fine English and Foreign Wheats met an im-
proved, but by no means a lively or extensive demand, and
such nearly retained our last quotations ; whilst the general
runs of each declined ld to 2d per 70Ibs, and Irish sam-
ples, being nearly unsaleable, were nominal in value.
Home made and Irish Flour, being much neglected, were
somewhat cheaper, and free brands of Foreign receded Gd to
is per barrel. Of States Flour, in bond, 1000 barrels were
taken at the close of the week, at 25s Gd, which comprise the
only sales reported under lock since Tuesday last.
