MARKET NEWS -(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
Scarcely any English Wheat has been received up to
our market this week, coastwise or by land carriage.
To-day the show of samples of both Red and White was
small; yet, from the pressure of foreign Wheat for tittle+
the demand for all descriptions was in a very inactive
state, the millers buying only in retail, at about Mon-
day's quotations. The factors generally were not
disposed to acccpt lower rates; hence the whole of the
parcels were not disposed of. Nearly 21,000 quarters of
foreign Wheat have come to hand. Selected parcels
moved off slowly, at unaltered quotations. The value
of the middling and inferior kinds was almost nominal.
Floating cargoes were offering at a trifle less monel.
A large quantity of English Barley-4.180 quarters--
has come to hand, but the show of foreign was small.
Malting samples sold at full prices. Grinding and dis-
tilling sorts were almost unsaleable. The Malt trade
was exceedingly depressed, at almost nominal currencies.
Oats, Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn without alteration.
Flour moved off slowly at Monday's prices.

The supply of 13eaiison"--Jfer7.7lolday's market being
very moderate, and the attendance of buyers on the !11-
crease, the demand for Beef was steady, at, in most 111'
stances, an advance in the quotations realised on Monde,'
of 2d per 81bs. The primest Scots sold at 3s 8d pet
Blbs, and at which a good clearance was effected.
During the present week 150 Oxen have arrived at
Southampton from Spain; 60 were here this morning 10
very middling condition. With Sheep we were scantily
supplied, the total number not exceeding 1,760 head;
hence the sale for that description of stock was tolerably
firm, at an improvement in value of 2d per 81bs. The,
primest old Downs, in the wool, found buyers at 4s 8°
per 81bs. Calves were in short supply and ready de-
mand, at 2d per 81bs more money. The Pork trade we°
firm, at extreme currencies. Mulch Cows sold at frog
141 to 171 155 each, including their small Calf.
