MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The present week's arrival of English wheat up to our
market, coastwise, has been very limited. The quantity
received fresh up to-day was small. The few samples on
the stands met a fair demand, and in some instances prices
were the turn higher than on Monday; but the business
doing was by no means extensive.
We had a moderate inquiry for foreign wheat at full
quotations. The imports are only 2,430 quarters. Float-
ing cargoes of grain commanded fully the late advance.
Barley moved off steadily, and late rates were well sup-
ported.

The malt trade was dull, on former terms.
Oats, the show of which' was small,
prices had an upward tendency.
Beans, peas, and flour were steady. The top price of
flour was 555 per 2SOlbs. sold steadily, and

SMITHFIELD.
The show of beasts here to-day was very moderate, and
much out of condition. The few prime herds on offer sold
steadily at full prices. Otherwise the beef trade ruled
heavy at late rates. We were fairly supplied with sheep.
On the whole the mutton trade ruled firm, and in some
instances the quotations were a shade higher than on Mon-
day. Calves, the supply of which was small, sold steadily
at an improvement in value of 2d per Sibs. Pigs wero
dull, but not cheaper.
Mulch cows, with their small calf, were selling at from
14/ to 19l each.
