CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

The arrivals of English Wheat since Monday have been
tolerably good, viz., 5,350 quarters, and the stands were
fairly supplied with samples. The weather being extremely
favourable for the growing crops, and the attendance of
buyers small, the demand was heavy, and, in some instances,
the prices had a downward tendency.- Upwards of 22,000
quarters of foreign Wheat have come in this week. That
article was in heavy request, and offered at a decline of from
Is to 2s per quarter. The amount of business doing
was very small. For export, no sales took place.
The show of Barley was small, yet the trade was heavy, at
barely late rates. In Malt next to nothing was doing; but
prices were mostly supported. With Oats we were scantily
supplied. All kinds moved off slowly at late currencies.
Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour, were exceedingly in-
active.

Comparatively speaking, the supply of Beasts on sale here
was small, and of middling quality, owing to which, and
the increased attendance of buyers—some of whom were
from France, and who purchased about sixty head of stock
for immediate shipment—the Beef trade was brisk, at a fur-
ther advance in the quotations of quite 2d per Sibs; the
primest Scots readily producing 5s 6d per 81bs. There were
on offer 240 Beasts from Scotland 274 Oxen and Cows,
260 Sheep, and 85 Calves from abroad, chiefly Holland.
Sheep, the supply of which was moderate, moved off
slowly, yet the late improvement in value was firmly
supported. There was a very brisk sale for Lambs, 370 came
to hand from the Isle of Wight, at a further rise in value of
4d per 81bs. Calves sold freely at very full prices; while
Pigs were quoted at Monday's figures. Milch Cows were
steady at from 17/ to 201 each, including their small Calf.

BOROUGH BOP MARKET.
We have still to report a very dull sale for all kinds of
Hops— arising from the favourable accounts which continue
to reach us from various districts, and late rates are with
difficulty supported. Sussex pockets, 31 18s to 41 8s;
