MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
Exclusive of those of Flour and some other articles,
the total imports of foreign grain into London this week
have exceeded 90,000 quarters, as will be seen by the
return at foot. To-day the show of English Wheat
was small, the arrivals coastwise having been only 1,390
quarters; nevertheless the demand for that article,
owing to the pressure of foreign qualities, was exceed-
ingly heavy, al, barely Monday's decline in the quotations.
From abroad 16,570 quarters of wheat have come in.
Selected parcels, in which very little business was trans-
acted, were mostly held at full prices; but the middling
and inferior kinds were 1s per quarter lower. The
supply of English Barley was small; that of foreign
very extensive.. The trade ruled heavy, and the cur-
rencies bad a downward tendency. Malt, both old and
new, was in moderate supply and heavy demand, at is
per quarter less money. We were extensively supplied
with foreign Oats, owing to which the trade ruled heavy
and prices were a shade lower. In Beans, Peas, Indian
Corn, and Flour, next to nothing doing.

SMITHPIELD.

Owing to the sudden change in the weather, and the
large supplies ,of Meat on sale in Newgate and Leadifin-
hall, the general trade here to-day was in a very de-
pressed state. The supply of Beasts—amongst which
were 15 Oxen from Spain—was but moderate, and
nearly all breeds were 2d per Blb lower than on Monday.
At that decline a clearance was not effected. We were
well supplied with sheep, while the demand for that
description of stock was very inactive, and prices raced ed
2d per 81bs. The number of Calves was on the increase.
Although a fail of 2d per 81bs was submitted to on thA
part of the salesmen, a very limited amount of businetis
was transacted. Prime small Pigs wore scarce and held
at late rates; otherwise the Pork trade was heavy.
Mulch Cows moved off slowly, at from 151 to 18/ eacla,
including their small calf.
