MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAI.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
The quantity of Wheat received up to our market,
since Saturday last, has not exceeded 2,410 quarters.
By land carriage the receipts have been equally limited.
To-day, the stands were scantily filled wilt samples of
both red and white. Picked qualities sold steadily at
full prices; but all other kinds of English Wheat were
dull in sale, at barely late rates. Upwards of 41,000
quarters of Foreign Wheat have come in, and been placed
in bond. On the whole, the demand for free parcels was
tolerably steady, at prices at about equal to those paid
on Monday last. In bonded qualities no sales.
An immense supply of Foreign Barley (50,210
quarters) has come to hand, and the supply
of English was good. The trade was excessively (lull,
at a decline in the quotations of from is to 2s per quar-
ter, at which no progress could lac made. Malt—the
supply of which was moderately extensive—was very
dull in sale, and prices had a downward tendency. The
best parcels of Oats were held at full currencies; but the
middling and out•of-condition sorts were 6d to is per
quarter lower. All other articles were dull in the ex-
treme, and easier to purchase.

SIVLITHrIELD.
The supply of Beasts on sale in to day's market was
very moderate, even the time of year considered, and
of middling quality. The few prime Scots on offer sold
at prices quite equal to those paid on Monday last. All
other breeds were a very dull inquiry, at barely late 'rates.
There were on show 191 Beasts from Scotland, 20 ditto
from Holland, and 70 ditto from Spain. With Sheep we
were scantily supplied, nevertheless the demand for that
description of stock was its a sluggish state, and in some
Instances the quotations had a downward tendency, with-
out effecting a clearance. Calves, the supply of which
was small, moved off steadily at full currencies. The
Pork trade was heavy ; in prices, however, we have no
change to notice. Milch Cows were quoted at from 141.
to 18/. each, including their small Calf.
