ARKETS.-(THIS DAY )

CORN EXCHANGE.
The Corn-trade continued nearly in a state of suspension, till the
close of last week, when the thaw reopened the navigation of the river.
This morning business has been resumed, with a considerable supply of
all kinds of Crain,
and, though the buyers' stocks have recently
decreased, yet they were very cautious in making purchaser. The
Wheat
samples are
chiefly of middling quality, and a few superfine parcels
sold readily at Is. to 2s. per qr, more than previously to the fast, but for all
other descriptions, former prices were submitted to without effecting
a clearance. Barley is plentiful, and has met a very slack demand, and
last quotat ions are hardly maintained. Beans also have scarcely sup.
ported their late value. Peas are unvaried. There has been a fair
business done in Oats, but prices are not higher than before the frost.
The top price of Flour is settled at
52s and sales are slowly made at
proportionate terms.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.

The advance in prices last Monday induced many persons to send to
market today, and the consequence was that there was a large supply.
Trade was slower in Beef, and prices went down, say 5/. in every 100/.
A reduction was submitted to also in Mutton, although higher prices
were:asked. The Beasts were chiefly Midland, and the Sheep Downs
and half-bred. Veal was scarce and dear. In prices of Pork but little
variation.
