MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

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

SMITHFIELD,
Considering that the great Christmas market will be
held here on Monday next, the supply of beasts on sale
this morning was extremely inferior, in fact scarcely
fifty really good animals were on offer, and yet the Beef
trade, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the
weather for slaughtering, was somewhat active at
advance in the currencies paid on this day se'nnight, of
quite 2d per 81bs. The primest Scots sold from 45 81
to 4s 10d per 81bs., and a good clearance was
effected.o
There were in the market 199 Oxen and Cows, 510
Sheep, and 20 Calves from abroad, in very inferior con-
dition. Although the numbers of Sheep were small the
demand for that description of stock was heavy at barely
stationary prices. Calves were in short supply
and
steady request at late figures. In Pigs very little busi-
ness was transacted. Mich Cows were dull at
fr0m..151 to 181 each, including their small Cal£
Per 81bs. to sink the offal.

BOROUGH HOP MARMOT.
With really fine new Hops our market is somewhat
scantily supplied; nevertheless the demand for them is

middling and inferior kinds a very limited business is
doing, at barely stationary prices. Old Hops are
nominal in value. Sussex pockets, 21 10s to 31 3s;
Weald of Kent ditto, 2/ 16s to 31 10s; Mid and East
Kent ditto, 31 to 51 5s per cwt.
