MARKET NEWS.--(THIS DAY.)I

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Although the arrivals of English Wheat for our market
since Monday have been moderate, the show of samples here
was very small. Owing to a demand having sprung up for
France, the sale for wheat of home produce was active, at an
advance in the currencies obtained on Monday of quite 2s per
quarter, and at which a good clearance was effected. The
imports of foreign Wheat have been small, viz., 4,200 quar-
ters, nearly the whole of which were disposed of afloat for
the French markets at is to 2s per quarter more money.
Many of the holders refused to sell even at that amount of
improvement. Nearly 14,000 quarters of foreign Barley have
arrived this week, the finest qualities of which met a ready
inquiry for grinding and malting purposes at is. per quarter
advance in the quotations. Malt was in fair request at very
full prices. The supply of foreign Oats was great; yet a
good business was passing in them at 6d per quarter more
money. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were quite as
dear.

SMITHFIELD.
Notwithstanding the supply of Beasts here was large,
or upwards of 1,000 head, we have to report a steady though
not to say brisk demand for that description of stock, at fully
Monday's quotations. There were in the market 310 Oxen
and Cows, 630 Sneep, and 75 Calves, from Holland and Ger-
many. The numbers of sheep were comparatively small.
Most breeds moved off freely, but the highest figure for the
best old Downs, in the wool, did not exceed 5s 4d per 81bs.
From the Isle of Wight the arrivals were small, viz., 20
Sheep and 18 Lambs. Although the total supply of the
latter was large, the trade was firm, and in some ins'ances
the rates had an upward tendency, the best Down qualities
producing 6s 4d per Blbs. Calves here a sl.,w inquiry, at
barely late rates; but Pigs were quite as dear, with a full
average number on offer. Mach Cows were dull at from 161
to 19/ each, including their small calf.
