MARKET I'VE WS.-(YES TERDAY.)
C ORN-EXCHANG E.
Altbougb our statement of arrivals shows the receipt:of a
full average supply of English Wheat, the number of samples
of that grain on show was small. For most descriptions the
demand was firm, at fully Mcnday'a quotations. There was
more inquiry for free foreign Wheat, and, in some instances,
selected parcels produced rather more money, the value of
other kinds being readily supported. We were but moder-
ately supplied with Barley, the sale for which was very firm,
at extreme currencies. There was a steady business doing in
Malt, at very full prices. The supply of Oats was miserably
small, while the Oat trade was firm, at late rates. Beans,
Peas, and Flour as last advised.

The supply of Beasts on offer here this morning was toler-

primest Scots, &c., moved off steadily at full prices, but all
other kinds met a slow inquiry at late rates. There were in
the market 2EO Beasts, 290 Seep, and 19 Calves frorii
abroad. With Sheep we were scantily supplied, while the
sale for them was firm t fully Monday's improved curren-
cies, and a clearance was easily effected. Calves, the supply
of which was good, moved off slowly at a decline in the
quotations of quite :2d per 81bs. In Pigs only a moderate
business was transacted, yet prices were supported. Milch
Cows sold heavily at from 161 to DU each, including their

(From the London New Price Current of October IG.)
SUGAR.-To-day the market presented a firmer appear-
Lee. ance for all kinds of Colonial and Foreign Sugar, the home
trade manifesting a stronger desire to get stocked, and mar.
- chants being less disposed to sell. West India Alu,covado
was in excellent request for all purposes; holders obtained
improved rates, and equal to those of this day week for all
qualities-at auction 134 hhds 32 trcs.,of Barbadoes were
however chiefly taken in above the value.
REFINED.-A stronger desire has been manifested by the
home trade to purchase Refined Sugar this week, and the
supply at present not being large, they have been compelled
to pay rather higher rates for all descriptions. Wet lumps
have been less in request, and prices declined to 598. The
difference between fine yellow West India and standard
lumps is only 9s per cwt. The consumption of Refined is
yet very large, and prices are lower than they were at this
time last year:
Maustmos.-This afternoon the quantity offered at public
sale was 6,402 bags; there was a stronger desire manifested
to operate, and the whole sold at full prices, indeed in some
cases the rates obtained- were rather higher: fine yellow
fetched 525, good 48s Gd to 50s, good middling 47s 6d to
48s, middling 45s to 47s 9d, low 43s Gd to 44s 6d, fine
brown 42s 6d to 435, good 40s to 41s, ordinary 37s to 37s Gd,
grey low to middling 43s to 465, good to fine 47s to 495,
washed 41s 6d to 45s 6d, and syrupy 368 to 433 6d.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon Bengal Sugar met with at-
tention, and 2,382 bags at auction were all sold at fully for-
mer rates, and in some cases rattier above ; fine white Benares
Welled 53s to 545, good 513 6d to 52s 6d, middling 50s Gd
to 51s, low 49s 6d, damp and washed 498 to 535, low sound
yellow not grainy 455, middling 465, good 48s to 495, damp
and washsd 43s 6d to 45s Gd per cwt.
FOREIGN.-To-day at public sale 55 boxes of Savanilla

48s to 49s per cwt.
COFFEE.- This afternoon the public sales of Ceylon con-
sisted of 1,439 bags, and went off at firm rates; Plantation

ordinary, 53s 6d to 55s 6d; fine ordinary greyish, 41s to
528 6d ; good ordinary, 498 6d to 50s ; ord. 44s to

to 40s; 34 bales Mysore were taken in at 38s; 86 bales
Mocha sold at 50s to 50s 6d for middling, but 28 casks Rio
were withdrawn at 45s for low middling.
COCOA.-There has been a strong desire manifested to
operate in West India this week, and the parcels sold pri-
vately were at rather higher rates, good and fine red quality
, being the most in request ; at public sale 111 bags Grenada
1% sold at 40s to 41s for mid and good red, and at 46s 6d for fine
I% bright. Foreign is not cheaper, but only a moderate business
ts
has been done ; 28 bags of red Bahia at public sale fetched
7%4%
33s to 34s per cwt.

os.
SAGo.-A good demand has existed, but no further ad-
-6s
lod vance in the value has taken place, although the supply at
4% market is not large; 614 bags at auction were sold at 36s to
o 878 6d for fine small pearl, and 34s to 36s for good. Sago
71i Flour however has risen in value, and 526 casks at auction
sl4 3 were all disposed of. Of Tapioca the supply yet exceeds the
demand, and prices continue to rule moderate.
SPICES.-To-day at public sale 518 bags of Malabar
Pepper were only in part sold at easier rates-half-heavy
)14 light brown went at 2%d to i3Ad, heavy was taken in at
34
; 2yBd to 3d ; two cases. Singapore Nutmegs fetched 2s 10d to
% 2s lid for middling brown, which is the full worth • 84
chests of Cassia Lignea sold at 55s 6d for low middling,
being very full rates; seven ceses Mace partly sold at 3s Id
for middling; the remainder was taken in at 3s 6d; 204
barrels Jamaica Ginger only partly sold at 41s to 935, good
and fine 129 s to 1503. -
COCIIINEAL.-This afternoon at public sale 188 bags Hon-
duras were offered, but there was less demand and not above
half sold at ld to 2d decline, low to good silvers at 4s Gd to
4s 9d, fine bold 5s 4d to 5s 7d. -
SrutiTs.--The principal feature in the Rum market this
week has been the Government contract for 100,000 gallons
of Rum, half East and half West India, the whole of which
has been taken by Messrs. Lemon Hart and Co„ of London-
street, at 1-16th under 2s 2d per gallon proof strength, and
which is a low price compared with the position of the
market. There has been a goad demand for all descriptions
of Jamaica Rum, and the rates paid have been rather above
those previously current; 300 puns having been sold during
the week 33 to 36 per cent over proof of fair and mid quality at
3s 4d to 3s 6d, good 3s 8d to 3s 10d ; 34 to 36 over fine 4s 4d
to 4s 6d, 32 per cent. smoky quality 3s 3d.; fine 4s 4d to 4s 6d.
For Leeward Island further advanced rates being asked ope-
rated against business, and the sales for the week are only,
100 puns at 2s 54 proof strength, and fine brown ditto 2s 6d.
Calcutta has been in good demand, and prices are still on the
advance; the quantity sold has been 150 puns at 2s to 2s Id
proof with certificate. A fair business has been transacted in
Demerara, and 3s 21 to 3s 4d paid for strong. Madras Rum
of proof strength is worth Is 10%d to is 11d.
INDIGO.-To-day during the progress of the sale 1,455
chests were withdrawn ; 629 chests have passed the sale.
The very largo quantity withdrawn from the sale during the
last four or five days ( which leaves only 2,567 chests to pass
the hammer) has had the effect on the biddings, which were
brisk this day, and prices show an improvement on the,rates
we have quoted lately of 2d to 3d per lb for Bengals. Madras,
however, remains neglected at from the last sale's prices to
2d advance, while Kurpahs are in fair demand at from 2d to 3d
advance. The quantity bought in is 150 chests. Of 16,119
chests which have now passed the sale, 8,693 have been with-
drawn, 2,573 bought in ; leaving 4,853 actually sold.
SALTPETRE.-To-day there was a good demand for Rough,
and the parcels offered at auction, amounting to 3,073 bags of
Calcutta, were all sold at full former rates.
OILS.-Although there are sellers of Linseed Oil at a re-
duction on former prices of 3d to Gd per cwt, still the home
trade have operated with caution on the spot, and few parcels
were taken for exportation ; 33s 3d to 24s 6d per cwt have
been the rates accepted. For forward delivery there has been
little passing, and prices have fallen to 24s 9d to 25s per
cwt. The Crushers are evidently inclined to sell as the sup-
ply is large; the consumption, however, continues to be good,
and greater than last year, whilst ,the article is cheaper
than at that time. Rape Seed Oil has been only in limited
rtquest, and prices are not so firm. Olive has been in ex-
cellent request, and holders manifest firrentss. Cocoa Nut is
still in short' supply, and, being much in request, prices are
rising. Palm has been in excellent request, and is held
firmly. The arrivals of Fish Oils have teen to a small ex-
tent only during the week, whereas the deliveries are still
improving. Prices are lower than at this time last season by
40s or 503 for Cod, but higher by lOs to 303 for Seal. For)
Southern they are much about the "same as that time, but are
lower for Sperm. Southern is wanted, and previous advanced
rates are fully supported.
TALLow.-There is still a strong desire evinced I?Y the
home trade to get supplied with Russian Tallow, the supply
continuing to be small, and the deliveries increasing ,
fur-
ther
advanced rates have been compelled to be paid o* n the
spot by chandlers and soap makers; indeed, the market
has been nearly cleared, and 47s 9d to
48s per cwt
are the prices paid for new Petersburgh
Yellow
Candle. Of old there is scarcely any remaining unsold. For
forward delivery large contracts have been entered into at
advanced rates. Of Town Tallow there is not much to be
had-it is greatly wanted at the advanced rates of 46s Gd to
47s nett cash; it is, however, still cheaper than any other
sort, and the consumption the greatest. The parcels of other
kinds of Tallow on offer have met with eager purchasers at
further advanced rates.

NOUEABLE FIRM.--DUDLEY OLD BANK.—The
Inspectors of the affairs of Messrs. Dixon and Co. have
been enabled to arrange for the payment of the last in-
stalment, making 20s. in the pound, on the debts due
from the Dudley Old Bank ; and it is expected that a
considerable surplus will be eventually realised for Mr.
Dixon from the remaining assets. We understand that
although no money has yet been provided by Mr. Dalton,
debts of 212,000/. have been paid and satisfied in full, under
the management of the inspectors and the praiseworthy
aad unremitting exertions of Mr. Dixon.--Hereford
Journal.

DEATH or THE REY. Dn. PENFOLD.—We regret
to announce the death of the Rev. George Saxby Pen-
fold, D.D., Rector of Trinity Church, Marylebone, which
event took place at the late residence of the Rev. Gen-
tleman, in Dorset-square, on the morning of Wednesday
last. Dr. Penfold was educated at Cambridge, and ob-
tained high honours in that University. The Rev. Gen-
tleman for many years officiated as minister of Christ
Church, but on the division of the parish of St. Mary.
lebone into ecclesiastical districts, he was presented to the
incumbency of the Trinity district. By the death of the
Rev. Gentleman, the rectory of Trinity Church, and that
of Kingswinford, Staffordshire, have become vacant.
The rectory of Trinity is in the gift of the Crown, the
annual value being 943/. To the rectory of Kingswin-
ford the Rev. Doctor was instituted in 1832. Its annual
value is 9001., and the patronage is vested in Lord Ward.
Dr. Penfold, since his introduction to the metropolitan
benefice, has taken an active part in parochial affairs.
