MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
The arrivals of English Wheat for our market, last
week, were on a very moderate scale, while those of al
other articles of home produce were trifling in the ex•
treme. From Ireland and Scotland scarcely any Grain
or Flour came to hand ; but, from abroad, we received
22,867 quarters of Wheat, 2,330 quarters of Barley,
12,610 quarters of Oats, 7,736 quarters of Beans, and
18,324 barrels of Flour, which may be considered a fair
average importation. Fresh up to day, very little Wheat
of home produce came to hand. This circumstance,
together with most of the foreign imports being in very
middling condition, caused the demand for all kinds of
Wheat of home produce to rule very firm, at an improve-
ment in the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight
of from 4s to 5s per quarter, and at which a good clear-
ance was effected. At the close of the market scarcely
any English Wheat remained unsold. Notwithstanding
the show of foreign Wheat was large, the sale for that
article was somewhat active. Most of the millers being
short of stock, especially of fine qualities, the demand
for the best importations was firm, and the quotations
were from 3s to 4s per quarter higher than on Monday
last, and at which amount of improvement a
full average amount of business was transacted.
The supply of all kinds of Barley was very small,
still, however, the malsters and others purchased with
extreme caution at but little, if any, variation in prices.
Most of the Barley on show was of foreign growth.
The best parcels of Malt commanded a steady sale at
full prices, but all other qualities hung on hand, al-
though the supply was extremely small. We had only
a limited show of Oats, nevertheless the Oat trade was
in a sluggish state at about last week's currencies. The
quantity of Beans brought forward was good, while the
sale was heavy at last week's quotations. In Peas, the
supply of which was small, so little was doing that the
quotations were almost nominal. Indian Corn was held
at is to 2s per quarter more money, but the sales were
very small. Barrelled Flour was 2s higher ; in sack
qualities no change took place. Seeds generally were
dull, but not cheaper.

At the outports the arrivals have been very large, viz.,
about 400 head of Beasts, 1,500 Sheep and Lambs, and
120 Pigs, chiefly from Holland, with a few from Spain,
and which have been mostly disposed of at full prices.
The supply of foreign stock here this morning com-
prised 5 Oxen from Spain, 60 ditto from Prussia, 20
ditto from Germany, and 300 Oxen and Cows, 1,649
Sheep and Lambs, and 21 Calves, from Holland. Gene-
rally speaking, its quality was inferior, and much diffi-
culty was experienced in effecting a clearance, nothwith-
standing the salesmen submitted to lower terms. There
was, compared with that exhibited on Monday last, a
considerable increase in the number of home-fed on
sale, owing to which, and the prevailing hot weather,
the Beef trade was in a very inactive state, at a decline
in the quotations obtained on this day se'nnight of quite
2d per Blbs. The very highest figure for the best Scots
was ss, but the more general currency for the first
quality of Beef did not exceed 4s 10d per 81bs.
There were some extremely well made up Beasts on
offer; yet the total supply was by no means first-rate,
and several complaints have reached us of the mode in
which this description of stock dies. From Norfolk,
Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 900
Scots, homebreds, and short horns; from the western
and midland districts, 920 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c.;
from other parts of England, 800 of various breeds; and
from Scotland, 220 horned and polled Scots. The numbers
of Sheep were considerably on the increase; hence the
Mutton trade was extremely
i depressed, and the cur-
rencies declined from 2d to, n some instances, 4d per
Bibs. A few very superior old Downs might have pro-
duced 5s 4d; but our highest general quotation was
5s 2d per Blbs, and at which a total clearance was not
effected. With Lambs we were well supplied. All
kinds met a very dull inquiry, at a reduction in value of
2d per 81bs—the extreme range of value of the best
Down qualities not exceeding 6s per 81bs. The sale for
Calves—the supply of which was small—ruled heavy, at
last week's figures, Pigs moved off slowly, but prices
were mostly supported.
