CORN WARKwrs.
MAIM LIME, Friday.—The quantity of English
wheat rewired fresh up, this morning, was very mode-
rate; cousequently the allow of samples was small. For
most kinds the demand was far from active nemthe" less, snarly the whole of the supply was disposed of
at mica about equal to Monday lam Therenonti
rendition of the 'unpin was tolerably good. sup-
lily of foreign wheat was chiefly composed of ernu.ried
sample., the fresh imports having been .ather limited
for the tir,is of year. Fine qualities of bath red and white
moved freely, and the currencies were well imp.
Ported. Inferior parcels commanded very little mitten-
ti°l'. at late rates bloating cargoes of grain sold
wly, at about stationary prices. Both English and
toecaps barley came slowly to hand. The demand,
however, was much restricted, at about last week's cur-
rency. Most deacriptions of malt realised former
terms; but the demand was somewhat restricted. Oate
-- the show of which was only moderate cent-
nianded full prices. with a fair comumptive inquiry.
The sells for beans was tolerably firm at fully late
earns/lea Peas moved off deathly on former terms.
The supply was rather limited. We have no change to
notate ia the value of any kind of flour. The trade
was isoniewhat restricted, although the supply of sound
American parcels was rather limited. Linseed sup-
ported the late advance, with • steady demand. Other
seeds moved off slowly. but at full quotations. The
inquiry fur cakes was somewhat restricted. Arrivals of

Hatatot., Thursday.—The con•inuoua heavy rains

Thursday.—There wit. a very large supply
of beef, consisting of Devons, Ilentfords, and home-
heeds, all of excellent quality ; and the Irish impply
just landed was also large, both oxen and heifers being
of a very superior description. The supply of mutton
was not so large as the previous week•e, acd the sale
was very slow, at reduced !stmt. There mall a large
minify of lamb, but on the Ishii!' the quality did not
seem to be equal to the previous week. The beet
quality wee bought up early in the day, and a number
of lambs of inferior description remained unsold at
twelve o'clock. The supply of eows and selves was not
so large as last week, bat the sale was tolerable, the
demand being somewhat lively. The fat calves met
with but • slow sale, especially the Irish. The number
of pigs we. smeller than it ha, beet for the last three
weeks. The supply to-day, however, was folly equal
to the demand, and the market for Mina weeks past has
been overdone in pig,, both store and fat, The aro-
se 'senor of the diminution in the number to-day wse
evident in the axle being livelier, and better prices ob-
tained. There was abont the neva nnmber of dealers'
horse*, and about the average businen done ; probably
a number h.ve been kept back for the Brisegar bores-
