CORN EXCHANGE.
We continue to be very moderately supplied with wheat.
Owing, however, to the prevailing fine weather, and the
favourable accounts at hand from most parts of the country
r specting the appearance of the crops, the demand for all
,kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, at barely
Monday's prices.
We had a slow sale for both barley and malt, yet no
decline took place in their value.
The oat trade was dull, and inferior oats were rather
easier to purchase.
In beans, peas, and flour very little was doing.

SMITHFIELD.
The supply of beasts in to-day's market was tolerably
extensive, and the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, at a
decline in Monda;'s quotations of 6d per 81bs. We were
fairly supplied with sheep, which moved off heavily, at 4d
per 81bs less money. Lambs were exceedingly dull, and
8d per Sibs lower than on Monday. In calves very little
was doing, at 2d to .'4d per 81bs less money. Pigs were
very dull, and cheaper. Mulch cows moved off heavily, at
from 141 to 191 each, including their small calf.
