MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY•)

CORN-EXCHANGE.
The past week's arrivals of English Wheat, Barley, Malt'
Beans, and Flour, were on a fair average scale,'hut those of all
other articles of home produce were small. The receipts
grain from Ireland and Scotland were trifling. From abroad
we received a limited supply of Wheat and Flour; but that
of Barley, Oats, and. Beans mite somewhat extensive.
Coastwise, a moderate supply of Wheat reached us from
Essex and Kent. By land carriage and sample the fluentity
was by no means large. On the whole the stands were
lto-
lerably well filled with parcels of both red 2ta
white in good condition. Several buyers being
wta
attendance from France, considerable firmness
manifested on the part of the holders, and abot,
one thousand quarters i f Kentish Wheat were sold for that
ci,untrV, at prices rather above those obtained on Monday
last. however, as the Essex qualities were in by no means
active request, and as a total clearance was not effected, W,II
may call the English Wheat trade steady, at last MondaY
currencies. The quantity of Foreign Wheat on show was
small, nevertheless, the transactions in that article were ou'l
to a moderate extent, at unaltered currencies. We had
large show of English and Foreign Barley, wh
• slue
met a very dull Inquiry, at a reduction In
of from is to 2s per quarter. Superfine 11"""
ether,
Malt moved off slowly, at late rates; but an
kinds might have been purchased at a reduction of
quite Is per quarter. The total supply of Oats being more
than adequate to meet the wants of the dealers, the traa
was dull, and prices were Gd to Is per quarter lower than al
this day se'unight. In Beans next to nothing was done'
and the quwations receded is per quarter. All kinds of Yeas
were heavy, and the turn lower than last week. In Flour'
either sack or barrelled, very few sales were concluded•
pr:ce we have no alteration to notice. Several cargoes
ludian Corn were acid at very full rates.

At the outports, 100 beasts, 200 sheep, and 10 calves 13101
been landed, mostly from Rotterdam. The supply
Ily of
f
stock offering consisted of 120 Oxen and Cows, sogreheiegliP'
and 5 Calves. The general quality being tolerably good;.
nearly the whole found buyers, at fully last week's ilu°'-:
tions. With Beasts, from our own grazing districts, 11,'
were, the time of year considered, well supplied, thefts beirl
1.000 head more on sale than at the corresponding market
day in 1846. Although the weather continues cold,
Beef trade, arising principally from the dead markets being
rather heavily stocked with the past week's arrivals f_lll
Scotland and the north of England, was in a very sluggish
state, at the decline in the quotations noticed on Monday l''';
the highest rate for the best Scots not exceeding 4s 2d Pea
Bibs. There were some remarkably prime Downs, Scots, "D
runts offering, but the general condition of the bullock suPPIY' ta-
i
to weight and condition, was by no means equal to that eV
hibited on many previous occasions; at the close of hu sinesi
an advance was not effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, 1..,
and Cambridge, we received, mostly by railway, nildneV
1,300 Scots, homebreds, and shorthorns; from the north:llsd
counties, 350 shorthorns; from the western and midlsll
counties, 800 Devons, runts, Herefords, &c. ; from abedr
parts of England, 400 of various breeds; and from Scotian r
by steam-vessel, 180 horned and polled Scots. The null,
of sheep was again scanty, owing to which the mutton tr" ,
was firm, at an advance on last week's quotations of 2d 111
81b. This amount of improvement was realised for t,
la,eeds. There were about 400 shorn sheep in the 111$41a
chiefly from Lincolnshire. The highest price for the best 01,
Downs was 5s 2d per 81b. We had about 250 Dorset hinii),
on show, but which sold at irregular prices. Calves Wire t_
short supply and ready inquiry, at Friday's improvem,enir
viz., of from 2d to 4d per 81b. Neat small porkers slow 0;
steadily, other qualities of pork slowly, at unaltered cur -
rencics.
