MARKET NEWS--(THIS DAY.)

_
CORN EXCHANGE.
The present week's arrival of English wheat up to our
market, coastwise, has been moderately good, viz., 2,330
quarters. Fresh up to-day, the receipts by land carriage
were small; hence, the show of samples was by no means
extensive. For most kinds we had a very moderate in-
quiry, at about Monday's currency.
The supply of foreign wheat was good, but the imports
have been only 320 quarters. On the whole, the demand
was in a sluggish state. In prices very little change took

The inquiry for barley and malt was heavy, at the late
decline.
There was more firmness in the oat trade, at fully Mon-
day's quotations. The arrivals are small.
We had a dull inquiry for beans, at late rates.
The few peas on offer were much neglected, but we had
a good inquiry for Indian corn.
Flour sold slowly. Several parcels of Spanish have sold
for Belgium, at 46s 6d per sack.

SMITHFIELD.
There was only a moderate supply of beasts ou sale in
to-day's market, in very inferior condition. Most breeds
moved off slowly, at Monday's prices. The shew of sheep
was comparatively small ; nevertheless, the sale was in a
sluggish state, ou former terms. We had a fair inquiry for
lambs, and late rates were well supported. Calves were
in short supply and somewhat improved request. In some
few instances prices had an upward tendency. Pigs were
dull, but not cheaper.
Mulch cows met a dull inquiry, at from 141 to 191 each,
including their small calf.

and Hunt at public sale, realised an advance of 3d to 4d

black having suffered more than the green by the prevail-
ing disease, and prices will be high in consequence. No
particular difference is anifest in the consumption of
ripe fruit in London, it ism the hard and unripe that is an
incentive to the existing epidemic.
