MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY*)

C ORTZ-MXCECAN4.". E.
During last week the arrivals of English Wheat, Barley,
Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour were on a very moderate scale;
! but the bulk of the supply of the former article came to hand
from Kent. The receipts from Scotland were very trifling;
while from Ireland only 100 quarter.: of Oats reached us.
From abroan we received an increased quantity
of Wheat,
and a very extensive one of Oats. The imports of all other
articles were by no means large. Fresh-up, coastwise, as
well as by land-carriage and sample, only a moderate quell"tits, tits, of Wheat of home produce came to band; hence the
stands were by no means heavily supplied. The attendance
of buyers was limited; owing to which, and more
especially to the large arrivals of Grain and Flour
at Liverpool, and in most of the Irish ports,

out the da the dealers refused to purchase, except
at a very considerable fall in the quotations; and, in the
few transactions concluded, the currencies must be considered
from 3s to. in some instances, 5s per quarter lower than 00
31onday last. At that amount of depression the market
cl sed very dull, with at least a moiety of the supply undis•
posed of. A single parcel of 300 quarters of English red
Wheat was sold fur shipment to France at 76s per quarter.
This was the only transaction for export. There was an
increased quantity of foreign Wneat on show. This article
was exccs.ivel heavy, and, to effect sales, an abatement
of from 3s to 4s per quarter must have been submitted to
the holders. However, so little was doing, that prices Inns!
be considered almost nominal. With Barley, both English
acd F..reign, we were rather scantily supplied; nevertheless,
the trade was exceedingly dull, and prices declined is to 25
per quarter. There was only a moderate show of Malt, all
'kinds of which were very dull, and h to 2s per quarter lower
than last week. The import of Foreign Oats having been veil
large, the Oat trade to-day was in a very depressed state;
and we have to notice a fall in value of from 6d to Is per qr.
Beans of all kinds commanded very little attention,
and the
rates declined is to 2s per quarter. In Peas next to nothinti
was doing, at Is to 2s per quarter less money. To sell, aft
of 5s per 2801hs, and 2s per barrel, must have been submitted
in the quotation of Flour, but our rates must be considered
nominal. Indian Corn might have been purchased at a de'
cline of 5s per quarter.

The arrivals at Hull and the various other oatports have
been comparatively small, viz.-120 Oxen and Cow's, I'
Sheep, and 25 Calves; the general quality of which has been
good There were in the market to-day about 120 Beasts,
80 Sheep, and 20 Calves from abroad, the whole of which
found buyers, at higher rates. The nambera of home-fed
Beasts were considerably less than those exhibited on blonds)"
last, the falling t,ff being one thousand head. This circutn'
stance, together with an increased attendance of both town
and country buyers, caused the Beef trade to rule very brisk.

The general quality of the Beasts was by no means first-ratde.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, were

ceived about 900 Scots, homebreds, and short horns; fr°'''
the northern, western, and midland districts, 800 Herefordss
runts, Devons, and short horns; from other parts of England'
800 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 220 Scots. There
was only a limited number of Sheep on sale, and which cons'
manded a ready inquiry at an improvement in value of quit
6d per Blbs. From the Isle of Wight 20 Lambs came fresh
to hand; but from other quarters the receipts of that de:
scription of stock were small. The Lamb trade was brisk P
