ters of the Central Gas Consumers Company, to post-

progress of the provincial Bills on the same question.

ARKET INEWs.—(THIS DAY)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
During the present week the fresh arrivals of English
Wheat for uur market, coastwise, has not exceeded 2,770
quarters, chiefly from Essex and Kent. By land-car'
riage the supply has been extremely limited. To-daf
the stands were very scantily filled with samples, yet the
demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was In
a very depressed state. To effect sales lower rates must
have been accepted by the factors. Upwards of 10,000
quarters of Wheat have come to band. That article
met a very dull inquiry, and most descriptions might
have been purchased on somewhat easier terms. The
sale for Barley was heavy, at barely Monday's currencies.
The foreign import has exceeded 5,000 quarters.
In Malt next to nothing doing, at almost nominal figures-
The supply of Oats was again small, nevertheless the
demand for that grain was heavy at the late decline In
value. Beans, Peas, and all other articles were ex-
tremely dull.

SMITHFIELD.
Notwithstanding our market was very scantily ear
plied with Beasts to-day, the total number not exceeding
556 head; the beef trade, owing to the thin attendance of
buyers, was in a very depressed state, and klondayli
quotations were with difficulty supported. The highest
figure for the best Scots was 3s 8d per 81bs. Sheep, the
supply of which was small, met a dull inquiry, at
barely stationary prices, at which a clearance was not
effected. The few Lambs on offer were disposed
of at from 6s 8d to 7s per 81bs. Prime small Calves
produced last week's currencies. The middling and in-
ferior kinds of Veal had a downward tendency. There
was scarcely any inquiry for Pigs, at our quotations.
Mitch Cows were heavy, at from 14/ to 181 each, ill'
eluding the small Calf.
