Fresh up to our market to-day. the receipts of home-
grown, coastwise and by land carriage, were limited, and
the show of samples of both red and white were very
moderate. On the whole the demand ruled steady, and
Monday's prices were well supported.
With foreign wheat, we were well supplied. Sales pro-
gressed steadily, at full quotations.
There was a alight improvement in the inquiry for float-
ing cargoes.
The supply of barley was good. The trade was very in-
active, on former terms.
Malt was held on higher terms, owing to the advance in
the duty.
We had a moderate sale for oats, at full currencies.
Beans and peas were dull, on former terms.
Their was only a moderate inquiry for flour. In the
quotations no change took place.

SMITHFIELD.
To-day's market was liberally supplied with most breeds
af beasts, the quality of which was by no means first-rate.
The trade was in a very inactive state, at Monday's decline
in the quotations. The top figure for the best Scots was
4s 4d per 81139. We were well supplied wit
fullh sheep, in
which a good business was transacted, at very prices.
There was an improved inquiry for lambs, the value of
which was well supported. Prime small calves were scarce,
and quite as dear as last week. Inferior calves, as well as
pigs, were dull.
Milch cows sold heavily, at from 14/. to 19/. each, in
eluding their small calf.
Per Slbs to sink the offals.

GREEN FRIIIT.—A dull market, and weather against 51
consumption. A parcel of oranges, per Lisbon steamer, S
sold by Keeling and Hunt, at public sale, barely sustained 5
the price obtained last week. A cargo of Smyrna nuts, 2'
as well as one of Barcelona, to hand—little inquiry for 2
either. The stock of lemons is reduced, and fine weather 2
2
would enhance the price.
