MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-,FRIDA Y.

The strong gales of wind having prevented the arrival
of several vessels laden with grain, the show of English
Wheat samples in to-day's inaiket was very limited;
while the quality of the supply was by no means first-
rate. As, however, the attendance of both London and
country buyers was small, the demand for all kinds of
Wheat of home produce was in a very sluggish state
at prices about equal to those paid en Monday. The
quantity of foreign Wheat on sale was nut so extensive
as of late. Selected qualities of both red and white were
taken to a moderate extent at full prices. The middling
and out-of-condition samples were a mere drug. Very
little Barley was on show, yet the supply was quite
adequate to the demand. The maltsters purchased with
extreme caution, All kinds of Malt, the supply of
which was small, moved off heavily, but we have no de-
cline to notice in prices. Oats were tolerably steady at
fully late rates. In all other kinds of grain, as well as
Flour and Meal, exeeedingly little business was trans-
acted.

In to-day's market the supply of Beasts on offer was
very limited, the time of year considered, and of inferior
quality. The few prime Scots, &c., on sale were mostly
disposed of at prices fully equal to those paid on Monday
last, viz., from 4s. 2d. to 4s. 4d. per Sibs. In all other
breeds of beasts next to nothing was doing, at almost
nominal currencies—a total clearance of the supply not
being effected. There was an increase in the number of
Sheep, compared with those exhibited on this day se'n-
night. Generally speaking, the Mutton trade was in a
depressed state, at barely Saturday's prices. Calvet—
the supply of which was limited—moved off steadily, at
fully late rates. In Pigs only a moderate business was
doing, at our quotations. Mulch Cows were selling at
from 141. to 181. each, including their small calf.

for all kinds of Hops. The best samples of new are,
however, selling at last week's quotations, but most
other qualitiesiare somewhat easier to purchase. New

ditto, 21 8s to 3155; Mid and East Kent ditto, 21 12s to
