MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY

CORN EXC HAN GE.-FRID AY.
The quantity of English Wheat received up to our market
this week, coastwise, has amounted to only 2,860 quarters,
chiefly from Essex, and in good condition. Fresh up this
morning the receipts of that grain by land carriage were
small; hence the show of samples of both red and white
qualities was very limited. For all kinds we had a steady,
but by no means brisk, inquiry, and a good clearance was
effected at Monday's advance in the quotations. Several
contracts were effected for forward delivery, at the late im-
provement. Nearly 9,000 quarters of foreign Wheat have
come in, mostly from the westward. Selected parcels sold to
a fair extent. In prices, however, no improvement took
place. Inferior kinds met a dull inquiry, yet importers were
firm. Floating cargoes off Falmouth were a slow sale ; yet
Egyptian was worth 28s per quarter, all charges included.
Scarcely any malting Barley was brought forward, and ex-
treme rates were paid for it. Grinding and distilling sorts
sold to a fair extent, at full quotations. Malt, the supply of
which was moderate, moved off slowly, yet prices were sup-
ported. Very few home-grown Oats were brought forward.
The supply of foreign was 12,610 quarters. The trade ruled
steady, at late figures. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Floar
was quite as dear as on Monday.

To• day's market was very scantily supplied with Beasts,
the general quality of which was inferior; nevertheless, all
kinds met a dull inquiry at Monday's prices, the top figure
for the best Scots being 3s 4d per Sibs. Vrime Down Sheep
moved off steadily at previous currencies. Otherwise the
Mutton trade was inactive at late figures. The best old
Downs in the wool sold at 4s 2d per Sibs. Upwards of 500
Lambs came fresh to hand from the Isle of Wight. From
other quarters the receipts were moderate. The trade ruled
dull, but no decline took place in the quotations. Calves, the
supply of which was extensive, were fully 2d per Sibs lower.
In Pigs next to nothing vas doing. Milch Cows sold slowly
at from 141 to 18/ each, including their small calf

west wing of Somerset House, preparatory to the reception
of the Board of Inland Revenue, which was to remove from
Broad-street, City, having been proceeded with with regu-
