MARKET NEIVS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
Very moderate supplies of English wheat have been re-
ceived up to our market this week, coastwise and by land
carriage, and the show of samples in to-day's market was
limited. On the whole, the demand ruled steady, at, in
some instances, prices rather above those carrent on Mon-
day—the advance being about Is. per quarter, and a good
clearance was effected.
Upwards of 30,000 quarters of foreign wheat have arrived
this week. Fine qualities were firm, and quite as dear as
last week. Inferior parcels met a dull inquiry.
There was a better show of barley, yet the demand for
most kinds was steady, at full quotations.
Malt was in moderate supply and steady request, at full
prices.
We had a dull inquiry for oats, and inferior parcels had
a downward tendency.
Beans, peas, and flour were unaltered in value.

day's prices. The extreme figure for Scotistras 4s 6d per
Sibs. Sheep, the supply of which was moderate, moved off
steadily, st full quotations. There was fa fair sale for
lambs, at fully previous rates. Prime small calves were
scarce, and quite as dear as last week. Inferior veal met
a dull inquiry. The pork trade was heavy.

BOROUGH HOP.
There was an improved feeling in the demand for nearly
all kinds of hops, and Sussex qualities are producing ra-
ther more money. The show of samples is very limited.

Rotterdam, 258 from New York, and 10 from Hamburgh.
