CORN EXCHANGE, Martell I.
The supply of Grain in general in the last week was rather ahem
but a pretty extensive arrival of Flour. Real fine Wheat sold
readily at the commencement of the mornini at an advance of N.
per qr. on last Monday's rates, but the trade was anerwards very
heavy, and no improvement can be noted on prices of middling and
Inferior Samples. The price of Flour continues nominally Psis. per
sack. Rye was heavy sale and rather cheaper. The bear Samples
of making Barley were taken oil at much the same Maw as this
day week; middling imeltiog and grinding Barky was net r much
demand. The quality of the Oats left unsold from last week being
mostly inferior. found but few buyers to-day, and no variation in
the currency from this day week can be stated. Beans and Peas
were both exceedingly dull sak, though not cheaper. In Linseed.
Rapeseed, or other Seeds, there was no material alteration In prizes
of this day week.
SMITHFIELD, MONDAY. 3( MICH I.
We have a fair chew of Beasts this morning, and among Ihnin

of most excellent quality. Norfolk% are also plentiful, there lat.
ing at least one thoenand on the Mile-end Road; but these are
not equal in goodness to what we have lately seen at this mar-
ket. The sales of all descriptions were pretty brisk, on the vane
terms as last week. We have mere sheep at market than on last
Monday, and they also go off at last week's prices. Calves are
scanty, and they have ready sale at from 4s. to fis. Bd.. and fur •
