MARKET .NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The quantity of English wheat received up to our mar-
ket this week, coastwise, has been very moderate—viz.,
1,840 quarters, mostly from Essex and Kent. The general
quality of the supply was inferior. By land carriage, a few
runs came fresh to hand ; yet the show of samples of both
red and white was comparatively small. The amount of
business doing was far from extensive, but we have no
hange to notice in the quotations. There was rather more
inquiry for forward delivery parcels.
From abroad, 7,780 quarters of wheat have come to
hand, and we were somewhat better supplied with gro.na-
tied samples. The demand may be considered steady, at
full currencies.
Floating cargoes of wheat were held at very full prices.
Fine malting barley was scarce, and quite as dear as last
week. Grinding and distilling sorts commanded very little
attention.
We had a moderate inquiry for malt, at late figures.
The oat trade was steady, and late rates were well sup-

ported.
Beans, peas, and flour, were held at full prices.

SMITHFIELD.
To-day's market was very scantily supplied with Beasts,
yet their general quality was good. All breeds commanded
a steady sale, at, in some instances, an advance in the quo-
tations of 2d per Ms., the primest Scots having realised
4s 2d per 81bs.—Sheep. The supply of which was limited
—met a slow inquiry ; nevertheless, prices were well sup-
ported in every instance. We had the first arrival of
Lambs for the season from the Isle of Wight. Thera was
more business doing, in Calves, the prices of which im-
proved fully 2d per 81bs. Prime Small Porkers sold freely,
at full currencieb. Largo Hogs were a dull sale. Mulch
Cows were ine moderate request, at, from 141. 103 to 191.
each, including their small calf.
