Advises from New York to the sth inst. state that flour
tray Will in sale, at a decline of from 12, to 25 cents per
barrel. Most of the near continental markets have ruled
inactive for most articles.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last
week were moderate. From abroad we received 14,710
quarters of wheat, 16,904 oats, 365 beans, 413 peas, 47'
tares, 2,855 linseed, 7,611 rapeseed, and 4,171 sack*of
flour.

Avery limited supply of English wheat was. received
fresh up to our market, to-day, coastwise and by land car-
riage. There was, however, a portion of last Monday's
unsold supply on offer, without producing anything like a
large show of samples. The attendance of both town and
country millers was very moderate, and the demand for
nearly all kinds of wheat, of home produce, was in a
sluggish state. In the general quotations scarcely any
change took place from those obtained on this day se'n-
night.

Wo were well supplied with foreign wheat, and the
stock in warehouse is increasing. The amount of business
doing in that article was limited; nevertheless last week's
quotations were supported, importers refusing to give way
in price.

Floating cargoes were held at full quotations, but the
inquiry for them was by no means active. The show of
barley was small, and most of the samples in the market
changed hands, at full prices. Most kinds of malt moved
off slowly, at late rates.
With outs we were fairly supplied. Most kinds sold
somewhat steadily, at late rates.
There was only a limited inquiry for beans, en former
terms. Peas were in short supply and heavy request, at
almost nominal quottitions.
The flour trade wa inactive, at last Monday's currency.

For the time of year, the show of foreign stock was bat
moderato.

The arrivals of boasts from our own grazing districts
were tolerably good, and in full average condition. All
breeds sold briskly, at an alvance in the quotations paid
in Smithfield on Monday last of 4d. per 815 s. The best
Scots were worth 5s per Blbs. and a good clearance was
effected.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,300 Scots and shorthorns ; from other parts' of
England 500 of various breeds, and from Scotland 500
home-bred polled Scots. The arrivals from Ireland, last
week, direct by sea, were 195 beasts, 92 sheep, and 19
lambs.

We were tolerably well supplied with sheep, yet the
mutton trade ruled very brisk, and the quotations were
quite 2d. per 81bs. higher. The best old Downs realised
fully ss. 4d. por 81bs.
There was a good demand for lambs, at full prices, viz.,
5s 4d to Gs 8d per 81bs. •
The few calves on sale moved off briskly at from 4d to
Gd per 81bs above the currencies of Monday last. The top
price was 55 Gd per 81bs.
There was more doing in pigs, and prices had an upward
tendency.
The arr►ngements for the reception of the beasts, sheep,
and pigs gave great satisfaction, and reflected great
credit upon the City authorities; but it will, we consider,
be found necessary to afford additonal shelter for the
calves, which suffered rather Reverelyfrom the keen action
of the west wind. Evidently a siding is required to pro-
tect them from the inclemency of the weather.

BOROVGH HOP.
Sussex hops aro in good request at fully the late ad-
vanee in the quotations. In oilier kinds only a limited
business is doing, with a trifling show of samples. Last
week's imports were 10 bales from Rotterdam, and 68 do.
from Hamburg. Mid and East Kent pockets, 141 Os to
18/ 108; Weald of Kent ditto, 131 103 to 151 Os ; Sussex
ditto, 12/ Os to 13/ 108.. per cwt.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Very moderate supplies of potatoes have come to hand
since Monday last. To-day these markets were but
scantily supplied, yet the trade ruled very inactive, as
follows :—York Regents, 120 s to 1455; Rent and Essex
do., 120 s to 130 s ; Scotch do., 110 s to 120 s; do. reds,
100 s to 101 s; blues, 90s to 105 s; Lincolns, 100 s to 115 s
per ton.

WOOL,
We have to report a decided improvement in the de-
mand for nearly all kinds of English wool, and, in some
instances, the quotations have an upward tendency. In
foreign and colonial qualities very little is doing, yet prices,
are firm. Last week's imports were 47 bales from Buenos
Ayres, GO from Hamburgh, 1,155 from Portland 8ay,'1,730
from Adelaide, 800 front Alva Bay, 2,400 from Hobart
Town, 845 from Geelong, 1,580 from Launceston, 850 from
Sydney, and 1,280 from the Gape.
The following are the current rates of Enlish wool :
Down tegs, is to is Oid ; half-bred, is to is Odd ; ewes,
clothing, lld to is Oid ; Kent fleeces, is Od to Is 10;
