1 MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE--FRIDAY. •

The arrivals of English Wheat since Monday having been
very moderate, the show of samples of that grain here was
small. The best qualities of both red and white commanded
a steady sale, at an advance in the quotations of Is per
quarter, while the value of other kinds was well supported.
In Foreign Wheat a good business was doing for shipment to
Franc., at fully is per quarter more money. The Barley
trade was in a very dull state, at barely stationary prices.
In Malt scarcely anything was doing and the currencies had
a downward tendency. The quantity of foreign Oats was
good, yet the Oat trade was firm, at 6d per quarter more
money. In Beans and Peas no alteration, but Flour wos
held at higher rates. Floating cargoes of Galatz Indian Corn
were held at 72s to 735; and Polish Odessa Wheat, 72s to
745; and for June shipment, 63s per quarter.

The number of Beasts on sale here was limited, and of very
inferior quality. The few prime Scots that offered moved off
steadily at Monday's quotations. Otherwise, the Beef trade
was unusually dull, at barely stationary prices. From
abroad, we received 95 Oxen and COWN 30 Sheep, and 24
Calves. With Sheep we were scantily supplied; yet the
Mutton trade was heavy, and, in some instances, the cur-
rencies declined 2d per Blbs. Calves were in limited supply
and sluggish inquiry, at about last week's prices. On the
whole rather more business was doing in Pigs ; but we can
❑otice no improvement in their valae. Mulch Cows sold
heavily, at from 161 to 1815 s each, including their small calf.

As has been the case for some weeks past, our market is
still but moderately supplied with really fine Hops, and
which command a steady sale, at full prices. All the other
kinds— the quantity of which on offer is good—are a dull
