MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The show of English wheat on sale in to-day's market,
coastwise, and by land carriage, was but moderate, and in
very middling condition ; nevertheless, the demand for all
kinds was in a sluggish state, at Monday's decline in
prices.
The imports of foreign wheat have exceeded 15,000 qrs.,
and the supply here was good. The transactions were
wholly confined to immediate wants at the late depression,
Floating cargoes commanded very little attention. No
sales were reported on continental account.
Barley was in good supply, and heavy request. Inferior
parcels were a shade lower.
We had a very heavy sale for malt. To effect sales lower
prices must have been submitted to.
The show of oats was good, especially from Ireland.
The trade was dull, at barely late figures.
Beans and peas were almost nominal.
The flour trade was heavy, and inferior parcels ruled in
favour of buyers.

SMITHFIELD.
A very moderate supply of beasts was on sale in to-day's
market. Most breeds moved off slowly, but we have no
change to notice in the quotations, Although we were but
scantily supplied with sheep, the domand for that descrip-
tion of stock wasin asluggish state,on former terms. The top
figure for the best old Downs was 5s 2d per 81bs. Calves
were in moderate supply and slow request, at late rates.
In pigs very little was doing.
Mulch cows were dull, at from W. to 191. Os. each,
including their small calf.
