SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.

Owing to its being known that trade was bad, much stock was kept
out of the market, and the supply was small. There was but little
business done, and prices much about as before.

PRO VISION MARKET.
Even this market Is securing but little business now, as if there are
country orders in it, they cannot be executed owing to the &ost. Prices
continue firm. Dutch Butter is quoted at 1 Ns. for the top price.

Imp MARKET.
More basinegs done today, and prices a shade higher.
COLONIAL MARKETS.

It is some time since we had so little business done in these markets
as was done to.day. Of produce we had not a single public sale of
Sugar or Coffee of any kind. Three small sales, one of Saltpetre,
another of Rice, and another of Ginger, are all that we had to-day ;
and they are of no public importance whatever. Quotations of all
kinds of Sugar, Coffee, Tea, Rice, Spices, Cocoa, Rum and Cotton re-
main unmoved; and there is no appearance of these being altered at
present. In fact, the severe and continued frost nearly suspends all
wholesale business of every description. 'lllO imports are of course very
slender indeed.

INDIGO SALE.—(FOURTH DAY.)
Tho character of this sale, as it progresses from day to day, which we
have reported, presented its former features in every important respect
again to day. Perhaps somewhere about halt the quantity advertised
has now passed the hammer; the proportion of what is sold to what is
bought in, may be regarded as between one-fourth and fifth.
WOOL SALES

These sales continue to be confined to Colonial Wool entirely, which
sells briskly at the advance we quoted yesterday. But little besides
Colonial descriptions is announced fur bale.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET,
There has been few sales effected in Cotton this clay, the entire trans-
actions not exceeding 1,500 bags, for which, however, our quotations of
yesterday were obtained. There was a great degree of dullne.ss existing
throughout the market.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.---Last night, about ten
o'clock, an alarming fire broke out in the stables attached to
the corn and flour granary of Mr. R. Stevens, at the end of
College-street, Belvidere-road Lambeth, and within a short
distance of Goding's new ale brewery, for which great appre-
hensions were felt by those who saw the fire at a distance and
from the bridges. It appeal s that the fire originated in a
stable, in which were three horses, the property of Mr. Ste-
vens. Directly the alarm was given the most strenuous ex-
tions were made to save the poor animals, but without effcct—
the fire, which was fanned by a strong north-east wind, spread
very rapidly over the stable, in which was a large quantity of
people were even unable to enter the interior
ostfrtabwe-, and h
building,te
and the horses perished. The premises were
principally constructed of wood, and in a very short time the
flames ascended to a fearful height, and presented a splendid
appearance front the opposite shore. In about ten minutes
after the blaze was first seen, the Waterloo-road engine was
on the spot, but owing to the intense frost, the water-plugs •
being frozen up, it was nearly twenty minutes before the ma-
chine could be brought into operation. The granary, which
was two stories in height, was soon in flames front top to
bottom, and threatened the entire destruction of the extensive
steam saw mills and timber yard adjoining. Mr. Walker, the
proprietor of the latter place, was soon on the spot, labouring
under consilerablc anxiety for the safety of his property, or-
dered the large steam-engine to be set to work as soon as
possible. About eleven o'clock two stacks of timb-r, stand-
ing on the north-west side of the building, took tire, and,
being previously heated, burnt with fearful rapidity. The
granary and stables vvoee totally consumed ;
all the exertions of
the flyenten to save any portion of them proving ineffectual.
The destruction of property, particularly grain, roust be im-
mense; there was also a quantity of flour on the prenti,es.
The buildings are insured in the Sun Fire-office. One person
who bad sent corn to the amount of 2001. to the granary is
also insured. The granary was composed almost uutirely of
wood, which accounts for its rapid destruction. We regret to
state a fireman, named Bonrue, tnot with a serious accident. In
ascending to the roof of the College saw mills, he fell through
one of the loop holes on the first floor of the building, and
pitched on his head. An inunengo rotiltitude were collected
oil the barges during the Aro, and so eager was their curiosity
thut many or them got half drowned, and some approached
so
near the flames that they narrowly escaped being burnt,
