MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, JusE 11.
There was a_good supply of Wheat this morning from Essex
Kent, and Suffolk; but the quality being mostly inferior, to tart:
lime the sale thereof decline of 2s. to 3s. per quarter was sub.
witted to, whilst superfine samples, being scarce, fully realised
prices of this day week. We had a fair demand for griming
Barley, but very little inquiry after fine for malting, which mule
be stated rather lower than last Monday.. We conunue to be only
sparingly supplied with Oates t good hone corn sold to-dey set
much the same terms as last Monday. though the demand vat not
very lively. We had little inquiry after Beans, and prices of this
day week were barely supported; but both grey and spite Pm
were scarce, sad full as dear.

831ITIIFIELD, Iloxaar, Jtwi 14.
We have upwards of 2,000 beasts here to-day, but so great a
Iproportion of it is cow beef. principally fed in the neighbourhood
of London, that the best Norfolk', and all others of good qualit,
have experienced a considerable advance, and are purchased heel;
at Is. Bd. per stone : we have no doubt that some beasts fetch even
is. Of Sheep there is a full supply, and the prices rather dedie.
ins; we cannot with propriety set our figures down higher than ts.
V e are better furnished with Lamb than last week, and it has a
heavy appearance ; nothing but the very best, both as to site and
quality, reaches the quotation below. In the Veal trade there is
little variation since last week; if any, it is something lower.
Pork is rather brisker than of late, and ie. 2d. is given for the best
pipet from five to six atone.

FISH MARKET, 310NDAY, JUNE 14.
Billingsgate Marker was well supplied with fine fish this mom.
ing : there was a large quantity of land carriage, and also pm
numbers by water; altogether nearly thirty vessels were up, tselte
or fourteen of which were laden with mackarel, in the wholes
amounting to upwards of 100,0110. They were generally fair thiwl
day, and we believe one or tso boats of very bright second day.
The Dock was as full of vessels as we have witnessed for scene dire
past, and, from the quick sale, there is no doubt the whole of t‘.;is
immense bulk of fish will be disposed of. The sale continued very
brisk at 12 o'clock, at very low prices (fishmongers leave the market
'at an early hour, and consequently pay much higher pricui.
Several vessels of turbots, haddocks, plaice, whitings, soles, &c.
wee up. Of the several fish thercwas a plentiful supply; the
land carriage was in excellent condition. There were (as is gene.
rally the case) two boats of Dutch eels, which varied hula in prim
to the sum they usually fetch ; these vessels pay heavy dues. fte.
The Shell-fish were equally plentiful; vessels from toil Heli.

POULTRY, EGGS, BUTTER, &c.
Newgate and Leadenhaß Markets were not abundantly *applied
this morning with Poultry. There being no Wild Fowl in
season, and the town full of fashionable company at this dote,
tend to make the demand greater than the supply, the prices are
consequently high. The supply of Eggs, Butter, was
plentiful. The various kinds of Poultry now in season, and their
prices at the above Markets, are as follow :
