MARKET NEWS.-(THIg DAY.)

CORN -E XCHAN GE—(MONDAY.)
Last week tl:e arrivals of English Wheat, coastwise,
were on a full average scale ; those of Barley and Malt
tolerably good ; but those of all other articles of home
produce, including Flour, were small. From Ireland and
Scotland the receipts of Oats were on the increase, but
by no means extensive, the time of year considered. The
imports from abroad comprised 5,920 quarters of Wheat,
2,454 ditto of Barley, 1,770 ditto of Oats, 1,213 ditto of
Beans, and 831 ditto of Peas. No foreign Flour came
to hand. From Essex and Kent, the receipt■ of Whitt
fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, were
on a full average scale. The arrivals from other
quarters were comparatively small. The stands some-
what heavily filled with samples of both Red and
White ; yet the market—as the attendance of
buyers was large, opened steadily for all kinds of ng-
lish Wheat at last week's quotations. Subsequently,
however, the demand slackened, and the rates suffered a
decline in those obtained on this day se'nnight, of ls.
per quarter, and a total clearance was not effected. With
foreign Wheat we were by no means heavily supplied.
Selected qualities were in moderate request, at full
prices. o.herwile, the foreign Wheat trade was heavy,
but we can notice no fall in prices. The general
quality of the samples was ♦ery inferior, notwithstand-
ing the supply of Barley was moderately good, that article
nas in better request, and, in some few instances, selected
parcels, fit for malting purposes, were is per quarter
dearer. The late imports of Foreign have turned out
very fine. We were but moderately supplied with Malt;
nevertheless, the trade ruled exceedingly inactive, at
barely late rates. Fine sound Oats were quite as dear,
but the value of the out-of-condition sorts WAS
with difficulty supported. The transactions were
wholly retail. In Beans, scarcely any busi-
ne,s was doing, at previous currencies. The
sale for Peas was dull, yet the currencies were
mostly supported. Indian Corn, Meal, and Rye Flour
were neglected. Fine Flour roved off steaslily ; other
kinds slowly, at last Monday's figures.

The arrivals at the outports, owing to the severity of
the weather in Holland, have been on a very limited
scale; and wo shall, doubtless, have to report trifling
importations for some time hence. The supply of fo-
reign stock here, to-day was very trifling, and almost
wholly the refuse of last week. The Beasts and Sheep
—in the quality of which there was a slight improve-
ment—sold freely, at, ia some instances, a slight ad-
vance in the quotations. With home-fed Beasts, we
were very scantily supplied, !moth as respects number
and (play. The attendance of both town and country
buyers being good, and the weather favourable to
slaughtering, the demand for all kinds of Beef was
somewhat briik, at an advance in the currencies paid
on this day se'nnight, of fully 24 per albs, and at
which most of the animals were disposed of. A few
of the prirnest Scots sold at 55., but ;he more general
top quotation for Beef was 4s 10,1 per Albs. The arrival.
of Beasts from the north consisted of about 400 short
horns ; trom the eastern, western, and midland counties,
900 Herefords, runts, Devons, Irish beasts, Etc. ; from
other parts of England, 700 of various breeds ; and from
Scotland, 180 horned and polled Scots. The remainder
of the supply was principally derived from the neigh-
bourhood of the metropolis. For the time of year, the
supply of Sh.cp was unusually small, as will be seen on
r-fertlice to our returns at foet ; hence, the Mutton
trade was very firm, at a rise in value of quite 2d per
Sibs. The highest general figure for the best old Downs,
which were exceedingly scarce, was is 4d, but a few of
them sold at 5s 6d per Sibs. Very few Calves were on
offer, and prices ruled extremely high for the season.
There was a fair sale for Pigs, at full rates of currency
The supply was by no means large.

Since Monday last rather large supplies of country-
killed meat have been received up to these markets in
good condition ; and thoso on offer slaughtered in the
metropolis have proved seasonably large. Although a
full average amount of business has been transacted in
most kinds of meat the quotations have, in some in-
stancest had a downward tendency. Scarcely any
foreign meat has appeared on sale.

Notwithstanding the arrivals of i'otatoes have been
tolerably goool in the past week, the trade has ruled

WOOL.
Last week's imports of Wool into London were com-
posed of 1,013 bales from Taganrog, 560 ditto from
Sydney, 108 ditto from Monte Video, and 161 ditto from
the Cape. The quantity of Wool offering in the private
market considerably exceeds the demand, which must
be considered heavy, at barely stationary prices.
TALLOW.
This market has been in a very excited state during
the past week, and prices have considerably advanced.
The deliveries wYre upwards of 4,000 casks. P. Y. C.,
en the spot, is 47s 6d to 472 9d per cwt. For forward
delivery, very little is doickg. 'Town Tallow, KM 6d to
