MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY•)

CORN EXCHANGE.-(FRIDAY.)
Scarcely any English Wheat has arrived for oar
market this week, coastwise or by land carriage ; hence
..
the show of samples of that grain here, to-day, 117
very small. Selected qualities of both red and white
commanded a ready sale, at fully, but at nothing qaotab.,ie
beyond Monday's prices. In all other kinds very Hite
business was transacted at late rates. Although the
actual quantity of Foreign Wheat pressing for sale was
by no means large, all knds moved off slowly as Val"
tered currencies. With Barley we were scantily
supplied. Grinding and malting parcels were (elite 01
dear ; but distilling sorts were neglected. On the,
whole, the Malt trade, especially with really fine parcel"
was firm, and the prices were well supported. Vier;
was a fair sale for Oats, at fully late figures. Beano se'
Peas were a slow inquiry. Flour and Indian Corn were
in moderate request, but not dearer.

SMITHFIELD,
Considering that the great Christmas market wild
held here on Monday next, the supply of beasts on
this morning was extremely inferior, in fact suarcevi
fifty really good animals were on offer, and yet the DI
trade, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of ne
w
weather for slaughtering, was somewhat active at of
advance in the currencies paid on this day se'nnight, (Q:Pa
quite 2d per 81bs. The primest Scots sold from 49
to 4s 10d per 81bs., and a good clearance was effectedi;
There were in the market 199 Oxen and Cora' ci
Sheep, and 20 Calves from abroad, in very inferior the

dition. Although the numbers of Sheep were
barel/
demand for that description of stock was beavY
stationary prices. Calves were in short suPPIY
