MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY

CORN' EXCHANGE.
Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat coastwise, as
well as by land carriage and samples, have been exceedingly
small ; and the show of samples of that grain here to-day
was trifling. Owing, however, to the large i►nports of foreign
Wheat and Flour, the trade was excessively dull, and, to
have effected sales, lower rates must have been submitted to.
By letters from Liverpool, we learn that nearly 70,000 quar-
ters of Wheat, 140,000 quarters of Indian Corn, and 120,000
barrels of Flour have reached that port this week, chiefly
front Americs„. Nearly 50,000 quarters of foreign Wheat
have arrived in London since Saturday last, and we had a
large quantity on offer this morning. The demand was un-
usually dull, and the quotation declined is to 2s per quarter.
The supply of English Barley was very small ; but that of
foreign was good. All kinds moved off slowly, at barely sta-
tionary prices. In Malt next to nothing was doing, but we
can notice no alteration in value. The Oat trade was very
dull, and some parcels sold at a reduction of 6d per quarter.
Indian Corn and Flour were very heavy, and decidedly cheaper
to purchase.

The supply of Beasts was moderate, but of very inferior
quality. The primest Scots, Devons, &c., commanded a
steady sale, at fully Monday's quotations; but all other
kinds of Beef were a mere drug, at barely late rates. There
were on sale 300 Oxen and Cows, 880 Sheep and Lambs, and
123 Calves from abroad ; together with 150 Scots from Aber-
deen and Dundee. The number of home-fed Sheep were on
the increase; yet the Mutton trade was firm, at late curren-
cies, and at which a good clearance was effected. Lambs—
the supply of which was good—moved off slowly; but we can
notice no alteration in their value. The Veal trade was
heavy, and, in some instances, the rates had a downward
tendency. Pigs were very dull, at late rates. Milch Cows
wers heavy, at from 161 to 1915 s each, including their small
Calf.

The letters which have reached us from the plantations
this morning are to the effect that, though the bine is not
progressing so rapidly as of late, it is seasonably forward,
and no further increase has taken place in the fly. As but
few. if any, speculative purchases have been made this week
and the supply of Hops on offer is more than adequate to
meet the demand, late rates are with difficulty supported, if
we except those of the very finest qualities :—Sussex Pockets,
4145. to 41165; Weald of Kent Pockets, 41 15s to 5155; Mid
and East Kent Pockets, 5/ 12s to 71 8s per cwt.

(From the London New Price Current of June 25.)
SUGAR.—To day importers of Raw Sugar were still
willing sellers, and in some instances actually further
reduced their prices; the consequence was that there wa,
a good demand from the home trade, and exporters pur-
chased a fair quantity. Of West India Muscovado the
private sales amounted to 310 hhds and trcs at rather
lower rates, making the fall for the week is to is 6d
per cwt.

IiEFINED.-TO day there was a brisker demand for
Refined goods from the home trade, in consequence of
58s to 59s being taken for brown, and 59s Gd to 60s for.
Standard Lumps. The market for Bonded Crushed
Sugar is quiet at 23s 6d.
AIAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was not much
desire shown to operate in Mauritius Sugar, and 460
bags at auction were only in part sold at the reduced
rates previously quoted, viz., fine brown 38s, middling
403 to 41s, good middling 425, washed 36s to 41s, and
syruppy 37s to 40s.

- EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was not
much in demand, and 1,500 bags at auction went at
barely former rates.
FOREIGN.—To-day two cargoes of yellow Havannah
were sold privately at 25s 6d to 26s per cwt.
MOLASSES.—There are sellers of West India of low to
fine quality at 18s to 225, but few buyers are to be met
with. The stock continues on the increase, and is far
greater than it was last season. In East India little
business has been done, and prices are on the decline.
COFFEE.—This afternoon at public sale 481 bags and
3 casks of Ceylon were offered, and all sold at about
former rates. Jamaica was not much in request, and
129 casks at auction were only in part sold at about
former rates, good middling 81s to 83s, middling 87s,
low middling 57s 6d to 61s 6d, fine fine ordinary 52, 6d
to 535, good and fine ordinary 41s 6d to 465, triage 31s
to 395, superior quality was taken in at 90s per cwt.
Cocow.—The market for British Plantation is in a
dull state, and prices are on the decline; whilst the
arrivals are on the increase and amount to 900 pkwy
since this day week. At public sale 605 bags Trinidad
were only in part sold. A further fall in the value is
looked for, as there is a large quantity to arrive
Foreign is dull of sale, and previous rates are not ob..
tainable.

during the last few days, and in some eases rather higher
rates have been obtained; the sorts at and under is per

Run, BRANDY, AND I lOLLANDS.—AIthOUgh there Sri
sellers of Leeward Island Rum at a further reduction in
the value, still the purchases made have been trifling,
and do net exceed 150 puns at 2s lld to 3s per :gallon
proof. East India is little wanted, and offered upon
lower terms, but only 100 puns have been dis-
posed of at 2s 9d proof with certificate, and at
which there is a desire to realise. For
Jamaica of fine quality there has been a fair
demand, and prices are sustained, but the lower
kinds have been operated iu with caution, and the SupplY
being plentiful, they can be obtained upon further re-
duced terms. In Demerara 1i.t13 has been done, The
purchases made in all sorts of Brandy have teen trifling,
and there are sellers at a further decline in the value.
Geneva is wanted for exportation; 2s 8d to 2s 9d taken
for ordinary, and for fine for home use 3s to 3s 3d. For
British Corn Spirits the demand is not so good.
INDIGO.—This afternoon at public sale 139 serous of
Car,iveas Indigo were all taken in at 2s 90 to 35 6d
per lb.
SEEDS.—A good business has been transacted in
Linseed this week, but nut at better prices, as there are
large arrivals near at hand. The market for Linseed
Cakes is in a dull state, stocks are heavy, and prices are
on the decline. Rape Cakes are neglected, and not
worth more than 5/ per ton. In Rape Seed little has
been done, and prices are on the decline.
TURPENTINE.—Spirits have been extensively dealt in,
in consequence of further reduced rates having been
accepted, and 37s to 38s is the value of British; there
is, however, yet a large supply; of Rough some parcels
have been sold at 9s. The value of Tar is 20s to 20s 64
but at these high rates there are not many buyers.
WoeL.—There has been a brisker demand for colonial
at the public sales, and which are still in progress, but
prices show a decline, as compared with those of the last
auctions, of Id to lid, as the quantity to be offered is
yet large. In other kinds the operations are upon 11
more extended scale, but not at higher rates.
OlLS.—There has been more activity in the market for
Olive Oil this week, and holders have obtained prices
they could not previously. A fair quantity has been
disposed of, but the home trade have been chiefly ePera.
tors. Some parcels have been received, and prices are
yet much above those of this time last year. The con-
sumption, however, continues to be large. Of Falai
further parcels have been imported, yet former rates are
sustained, and a good demand has been experienced.
Cocoa Nut is still brought sparingly to market, and being
much wanted, prices range high. For auction 100 tens
fine Cochin are declared. Although there are seller's
of Rape Seed Oil upon further reduced terms ; still the
purchases made have been upon a moderate scale only.
Linseed Oil has been in excellent request for home con-
sumption, and in consequence of the limited supPlY,
buyers have been compelled to pay further advaticei
rates. For forward delivery there are few buyers at
present to be met with. A fair quantity has been dis-
posed of for exportation. Lard Oil has been operatea.
in with caution. There have been several arrivals of
Fish Oils since this day week, and the trade showing not
much desire to do business, prices continue on the de-
cline. Cod met with little attention. This afternoon at,
public sale 74 tons of Sperm Oil mostly sold at 851 to 871'
and Headm-ster 87/ ; 100 tuns of Southern sold at better
prices, that is to say from 221 15s to 251 lOs for low to
sue.
TALLOW.—This afternoon the quantity of Tallow
offered at public sale was 98 casks of Odessa Sheep, 21
casks ditto Beef, 57 casks Australian, and 200 casks of
Petarsburgh, which went at rather lower rates.

CASE OF HYDROPHOBIA FOLLOWING, THE BITE
or A CAT.—In February last a Maltese woman residing
in Senglus was bit by a cat which some weeks before
had been bit by a mad dog. The poor woraan remained
quite well until last Friday, when she suddenly felt um*
able to swallow, and very soon the horror of water, and
other terrible marks of hydrophobia, came on. Dr.
Adam was called to her on Saturday, and on the same
day she was seen by Mr. Wells, Mr. Walsh, and other
naval surgeons, but notwithstanding till their efforts for
her relief she died on Tuesday night. We hear that
among other things the inhalation o f ether was tried,
probably for the first time in this disease. This is sup'
posed to be the first case of hydrophobia which has ever
been known in Malta, and it is to be hoped that the
police will have strict orders to destroy every dog that
may present suspicious symptoms.-.-M'altese Paper.
