MARKET -NEWS.-(*ESTERDAY

CORN-EXCHANGE.
During last week, the arrivals of English Wheat for our
market, coastwise as well as by land carriage and samples,
were on a moderate scale, while those of Malt were season-
ably extensive. The fresh samples of all other articles of
home produce were on a very limited scale. From Ireland
and Scotland, the receipts of grain were unusually small;
they having been confined to about 4,500 quarters of Oats,
from the former, and 2,900 quarters of Barley from the latter.
The imports from abroad were, taken as a whole, even includ-
ing about 8,000 barrels of American Flour, and a few thousand
quarters of Beans, Peas, and Oats, trifling. This morning, a
moderate quantity of home-grown Wheat came
to hand from Essex and Kent ; but from other
parts the arrivals were small. The stands were
again scantily tilled with samples of English Wheat,
owing to which, the increased attendance cf buyers, and the
short stocks held by the dealers, a good business was doing,
at an advance in the quotations paid on Monday last, of from
3s to 4s per quarter. Still, however, we cannot--as many
parties were unwilling to give the above amount of improve-
ment—call the trade brisk; and we may state that the
market closed heavily, considering the actual improvement
paid. With free Foreign Wheat—as many of the holders
have withdrawn their samples from the market for the pre-
sent—we were scantily supplied. That article commanded a
steady, though not very active inquiry, at a rise in the
quotations of fully 3s per quarter. For inland, there was
some demand for bonded Wheats and Indian Corn cargoes
afloat. The former sold readily at an improvement of 3s,
the latter 4s per quarter. The sales of 1► heat amounted to
about 8,000 quarters. We had a short supply of Barley on
offer, while the demand for that article was very active at 2s
to 4s per qr. more money. There was a very active business
doing in Malt, at an enhancement in the quotations of from
4s to 5s per qr., and at which a got 1 clearance was effected.
The show of Oats being small, the Oat trade was firm, at a
rise of Is. per quarter. Both Beans and Peas sold readily at
Is. to 2s. per quarter more money. The Flour trade was ac-
tive. Sack parcels were 35., and barrelled ditto 2s. dearer.

Considering the severity of the weather, the above is a very
large arrival. At the outports about 800 Sheep have been
landed, chiefly from Holland, in good condition. As most of
the above, in fact, were disposed of privately, the number of
foreign Beasts and Sheep on offer to-day was very small, viz.
80 of the former, and 300 of the latter, the demand for
which was heavy, and prices had a downward tendency.
With home-fed Beasts we were well supplied. bath as respects
number and quality, owing to which, and the changeable
state of the weather, the Beef trade was in a very depressed
state, at a decline in the currencies obtained on this day se'n-
night of quite 2d. per Blbs., the extreme figure for the best
Scots not exceeding 4s. 4d. per Sibs., while at the conclu-
sion of business a clearance was not effected. From Lincoln-
shire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, we received
about 1,400 short-horns; from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire, 300 Herefords, Scots. and short-horns; from
the eastern and midland districts, 700 Herefords, runt, De-
VOUS, &c. ; and from other parts of England, 800 of variuu
breeds. The number of Sheep were considerably on the in-
crease, and of excellent quality. The supply of that descrip-
tion of stock exceeding the wants of the butchers, the Mut-
ton trade was unusually dull, at an abatement in value of
from 2d. to, in some instances, 4d. per gibs. With Calves
we were scantily supplied, yet the Veal trade avas in a slug-
gish state at our quotations. Prime email Porkers moved off
steadily, other kinds of Pigs slowly, at late rates.

The past week's arrivals of slaughtered Meat for these
markets have been on the increase, but by no means large,
the time of year considered. With meat killed in the me-
tropolis we were fairly supplied this morning, while the
primest Beef, Mutton, and Veal commanded a ready sale, at
fully last week's prices. In all other kinds of meat only a
moderate business was transacted, yet previous rates were
readily supported. There were about 800 carcases of foreign
Beasts and Sheep on offer, and which were mostly disposed
of at late rates.

BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.
Since our last report, about 200 tons of Potatoes have
reached us in good condition from France; but, coastwise,
the receipts have been very trifling. Selected qualities are
in good request, at a trifle more money; but all other kinds
are a slow inquiry.
BOROUGH HOP MAILILET.
On the whole our market continues to be well supplied
with most kinds of Hops, the best of which, both in pockets
and bags, command a ready sale, at full prices. Otherwise,
however, the trade is dull, at barely late rates, From New
York 300 bales have been received in the past week..—Sus-
sex pockets, 31 12s to 41 Gs; Weald of Kent pockets, 41
to 41125; Mid and East Kent pockets, 415 s to 61 6s.

WOOL.
Since this day se'ennight the imports of Wool have con-
sisted of 38 bales from Antwerp, 445 ditto from Port Phillip,
582 ditto from Sydney, and 269 ditto from Odessa. There is
a better feeling in the demand for English Wools, at full
prices ; but Foreign and Colonial qualities are a dull inquiry.
Holders, however, are very firm.

TALLOW.
The Tallow market is very firm, and prices are looking
upward, notwithstanding the late advances. On the spot
there is no fine Z. C. under the quotation below ; for
March and April Us. ; and New Y. C. for next season, 465.
The stock this day is not only limited by comparison with
other years, but it is short throughout the United Kingdom ;
and there is a very short supply expected during the next
six months. Town Tallow is scarce, and the welters are
asking full prices, even at the advance paid on Friday last.

TIIE LATE FIRE AT IRONGATEWHARF.—ADDI-
DITIONAL PARTICULARS.—SUNDAY NIGIIT.—At six
o'clock last evening (Sunday), a considerable body of
fire remained in the ruins, and the firemen were still
engaged throwing water upon the same, and it was not
expected that the tire could be entirely extinguished
for at least another day. The immediate vicinity of the
ruins was visited yesterday by many thausands of per.
sods, and it required a strong party of police to
keep the crowd nom pressing to close to the totteriug
it
walls. The property destroyed is now believed will
be considerably under what was at first stated, owing
to the great quantity of goods that are under the walls,
and which are only partially injured. During the after-
noon of Saturday, about 150 barrels of provisions were
rescued from the ruins, the major part of which were
perfectly sound. During this day (Monday) the firemen
it is believed will be able to save as many more barrels
of pork and beef, and should the ruins be sufficiently
cooled, they will be able to get out an immense quantity
of canvas and linen in bales, which can be seen under the
brickwork.
RARITIES OF THE SEASON.—On Saturday, in Co-
vent-garden market, there was a profusion of new pota-
toes of the description called ash-leaved kidney, the
price being is. per lb.; asparagus was plentiful at 10s.
the bundle, rhubarb 55., and cucumbers from 7s. to 15s.
each, all being of English growth.
