MARKET NEWS-(YESTERDAY.)
CORLT-EXCEANO E.
Coastwise, as well as by land carriage and sample, the
arrivals of English Wheat, Barley, Malt, Peas, Beans, and
Flour, during last week, were on a vely limited scale, but
those of Oats were moderate. From Ireland a fair average
quantity of Oats came to hand, compared with many pre-
ceding weeks, but the imports of all articles of foreign grain
were unusually small. Fresh up a full average quantity of
Wheat came to hand, in fair condition, from Kent; but from
Essex and Cambridgeshire the supply was small. On the
whole, the stands exhibited a fair number of samples of both
red and white. The attendance of buyers was by no means
large; and, as most of the dealers are now well in stock,
much disinclination was manifested on the part of those pre-
sent to do business at the present high rates. However,
we may consider the very finest parcels to have ruled steady,
at prices about equal to those obtained on this day se'imight,
but all other kinds were a slow sale, and last week's quota-
tions were with difficulty supported. At the doss of the
market a clearance had not been effected. We understand
that rather extensive supplies may be expected this week,
as several ships grain-laden have not made their passage,
owing to the late boisterous gales. With free foreign Wheat
we were well suppiled, and the holders evinced more anxiety
to sell than fur some time past. The actual business doing
was trifling, yet we can notice no alteration in value. The
inquiry for bonded Wheat and other foreign Grain
appears to have nearly, or quite subsided, To, ay
scarcely a single parcel changed hands for export,
hence the quotations must be considered almost nominal. We
had a very small quantity of Barley on show. As the supply
was by no means adequate to the wants of the trade, the de-
mand was firm, and, in some instances, selected malting par-
cels produced a rise of is per quarter. Before the close of
business nearly the whole was di; posed of. With Malt we
were scantily supplied. For most qualities we have to repot t
a very steady demand, at extreme rates. The quality of the
Malt on show was very moderate. With 'Oats we were
moderately supplied. Fine parcels sold at full prices; but all
other kinds were very dull, though we cannot call them
cheaper. Beans were in short supply, and steady request, at
previous figures. All kinds of Peas were held at extreme
rates. Flour moved off slowly at last week's figures.

At least two-thirds of the above impoi tations (which have
been of average quality, especially the Cows) have gone
direct into the hands of the butchers ; consequently, the
actual number on sale here since our last has been small.
In addition to the above arrivals, 24 baskets of slaughtered
Meat have been received from Hamburgh, per the Caledonia,
and which has sold at from 2s 10d to 3s Gd per 81bs, the
quality being good. At the outports, viz., Yarmouth, Hull,
Newcastle, and Plymouth, nearly 1,800 head of various kinds
of stock have been landed, chiefly from Hamburgh and Rot-
terdam. The arrival at Plymouth embraced 48 Oxen, and 3
Heifers, per the Sylph, from Vivero, and which are advertised
to be sold by auction this day (Monday). From Ireland
nearly 140 Pigs have been received into London by sea.
The number of foreign Beasts on sale here consisted of 180;
of Sheep, 260; and of Calves, 18; the whole of which sold
at full prices. 'With home-fed Beasts we were moderately
well, but not to say heavily, supplied. On the whole the
Beef trade was steady, and prices about equal to those ob-
tained on Monday last, and at which a good clearance was
effected. From the southern districts we received 1.800
short-horns ; from the western and midland counties 700
Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ; and from other parts of Eng-
land 800 of various breeds. The numbers of Sheep were by
no means large, yet the Mutton trade was insa sluggish state,
at barely, but at nothing quotatile beneath, last week's prices.
In Calves only a moderate business was doing, at late rates.
Pigs ruled dull, at our quotations.

These markets have been tolerably well, but not to say
heavily, supplied with Meat slaughtered in the metropolis
since our last report, but the arrivals from the country have
been small, viz., 40 carcases of Beef, 200 ditto of Mutton,
90 ditto of Veal, and 220 ditto of Pork. Each kind of prime
Meat has sold readily, at full prices; otherwise the demand
has ruled inactive.

A few cargoes of potatoes have arrived from the East
coast during the past week, but in a diseased state. Fine
qualities have sold readily at higher prices, but the out- of-
condition sorts have hung on hand. The following are pre-
sent rates:—York Regents, 120 s. to 1505.; Shaws, 120 s. to
1355.; Kent and Essex Regents, 1303. to 1855.; Shaws, 120 s.

amounted to t,83 bales from New South Wales, 14 bales from
Rotterdam, 126 bales from Hamburgh, and 30 bales from
