MARKET

rI DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of English wheat up to our market to-
day were very moderate, and the show of samples was
small. Good heavy qualities were in fair request, at fully
Monday's prices ; but all other kinds moved off slowly, at
late rates. The general quality of the supply was
good.
Foreign wheat—the show of which was by no means
large—was in fair request, but we have no change to notice
in its value. Floating cargoes were held at extreme rates.
Barley was in good request, and quite as dear as on,
Monday.
The best samples of malt were firm, and there was rather
more doing iu other kinds.
We had a moderate inquiry for oats, at full quotations.
Beans, peas, and flour were unaltered in value.

SMITHFIELD.
To-day's market was moderately well supplied with
beasts, chiefly in low condition. Most kinds moved off
slowly; nevertheless, Monday's prices were well supported.
The show of sheep was by no means extensive, yet the
mutton trade ruled heavy, and the quotations were almost
nominal. The numbers of calves were reasonably good.
The veal trade was firm, at an advance in the currencies of
2d per 81bs. There was a good sale for prime pigs, on
higher terms.
Mitch cows were very dull, at from 141. to 181. each, in-
cluding their small calf.

BOROUGH HOP.

hops is limited, owing to the high rates demanded. They
may be quoted as under :—East Kent pockets, 18118 s to
231 Os; Weald of Kent ditto, 181 lOs to 211 Os ; Sussex
ditto, 181 Os to 2010 s per cwt. The duty is called 45,0001.
