MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.-(FRIDAY.)
The quantity of English Wheat on sale in to•da7's
market was very moderate, and of middling quality.
Although the attendance of buyers was by no mean.
large, the demand fur all descriptions was firm, at fully,
but at nothing quotable beyond, Monday's prices, and a
good clearance was effected. Really fine foreign Wheat'
were held for more money. The middling and inferior
kinds moved off steadily, at very full prices. The Barley
trade was firm, but we have no improvement to notice in
value. All kinds of Malt were in improved request, at
extreme currencies. Oats were very dull, but not
lower than on Monday. Beans, Peas. and Indian Corn
commanded scarcely uny attention. Flour firm, at fully
late rates.

Although the supply of Beasts on sale, to-day, was
but moderate, the demand for all breeds, except the
pritnest Scots, was in a very sluggish state, at about
Monday's quotations. There were on offer 157 Beasts,
190 Sheep, and b 2 Calves from abroad. The number
of Sheep was again small, and the Mutton trade was
steady, at full prices.--Shorn Downs sold at from 4d id
to 5s per Sibs. Primo small Calves moved off steadily.
Otherwise, the Veal trade was inactive. In Pigs, the
supply of which was moderate, ♦ery little business will
transacted. Milch Cows were heavy, at from 141 to
lfl lOs each, including their small Calf.
