MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

During the present week, the arrivals of English wheat,
coastwise, have been on a very moderate scale, and in
middling condition. Fresh up, to-day, the receipts were
small ; hence, the show of samples of both red and white
was limited. The attendance of buyers being small, the
demand for wheat of home produce ruled very inactive,
yet Monday's prices were supported. For forward delivery,
next to nothing was doing.
The imports of foreign wheat have been only 3,4C3
quarters. Selected samples sold slowly, at previous rates.
Low and middling kinds were very dull, at barely last
week's currency. Floating cargoes were much neglected.
Malting barley was scarce, and quite as clear. Grinding
and distilling sorts moved off slowly, at late figures.
We were but moderately supplied with malt, in which a
good business was doing, at full currencies.
There was rather more doing in oats—the supply of which
was very moderate—at Monday's quotations.
Beans, peas, and flour were very dull, but not cheaper.

SMITHFIELD.
For the time of year, the supply of beasts on offer in to-
day's market was tolerably good, and in fair average con-
dition. The attendance of buyers being limited, the beef
trade was in a sluggish state, at Monday's decline in the
quotations. The primest Scots sold at 4s per Blbs. Sheep
came slowly to hand ; nevertheless, the demand for that
description of stock ruled inactive, at late currencies.
Prime Old Downs, in the wool, realised 5s to 5s 2d per
81bs. Prime small calves sold steacEly, at full prices.
Otherwise, the veal trade was heavy. Pigs met a dull in-
quiry, at late rates.
Mulch cows sold slowly at from 16/. to 191.55, including
their small calf.
