MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY )

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY

The arrivals of English Wheat, coastwise, during the
previous week have been good, yet, as mast of the cargoes
were previously disposed of, the show of samples of that
grain to-day was limited. The finest qualities were mostly
disposed of at au advance in the quotations of Monday last
of is per quarter; and the value of all other kinds was well
supported. Upwards of 16,000 quarters of foreign Wheat
have come to hand. As the duty on that article is now
only ls. per quarter, a large quantity was on offer this
morning. Still, however, the holders refused to sell except
at an improvement of from ls. to 2s. per quarter. This
had the effect of checking business. We have bad an im-
mense arrival of English Barley. Malting samples sold at
full rates of currency; but grinding and distilling sorts
were a dull inquiry. Not less than 10,290 quarters of
Malt have come to hand. This large supply had the effect
of causing a dull sale, at barely late rates. Oats
sold without difficulty, at very lull prices. All other
kinds of grain, including Flour, were a slow sale.

The supply of Beasts on sale in to-day's market was
limited as to number, but of full average quality. Although
the attendance of buyers was small, the primest Scots,
&c., sold at prices quite equal to thoie paid on Monday;
but all other breeds were dull, at barely late rates. Since
our last report, 148 Beasts have been landed at South-
ampton from Portugal; 99 were disposed of at that port,
and the remainder were on offer here this morning, in goad
condition. With Sheep we were scantily supplied; never-
theless, the Mutton-trade was inactive, at unaltered quota-
tions. Calves, the supply of which was moderate, moved
off heavily, at a decline in value of quite 2d per Sibs. In
Pigs very little business was doing. Mitch Cows were quoted
at from 141 to 18/ each, including their small calf.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.

Although our market is rather scantily supplied with the
best new Hops in pockets, the demand for them has become
heavy, and last week's quotations are with difficulty sup-
ported. In all other kinds of Hops so little is doing that
prices are almost nominal. New Hops per cwt. :—Sussex
pockets, 21 3s to 31; Weald of Kent ditto, 21 to 3110 s ; Mid
and East Kent ditto, 315 s to 6i.
