MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY,

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY.
only a moderate supply of English Wheat has been
received for our market this week, and the show of
samples today was small. Owing chiefly to the un-
settled state of the weather, the demand for all kinds of
Wheat of home produce was steady, and Monday's
prices were well supported. The best samples of
Foreign Wheat, free ofkluty, were in good request at
extreme rates. In the middling and inferior kinds com-
paratively little business was transacted. Barley was
in moderato supply, and steady request, at last figures.
There was a better inquiry for Malt. In prices, how-
ever, we have no advance to notice. Oats, Beans, sad
Peas moved off freely, at extreme prices. Indian 'Corn
and Meal quite neglected. The Flour trade was steady.

SBUTIEFE
Notwithstanding our market today was but mode-
rately supplied with beasts, both as to number and
quality, the Beef trade, owing to the unfavourable state
of the weather for slaughtering, was very dull, at a de-
cline in the price of Monday last of 2d per Blbs. The
highest figures for the best Scots were only from 3s lOd
to 4s per 81bs. With foreign stock we were very scantily
supplied. The supply of English Sheep was seasonably
good, but deficient in quality. On the whole the Mutton
trade was firm, and the quotations were well supported.
In Lambs, next to nothing was doing, at a fall in value
of from 4d to 6d per Sibs. We can quote no more than
58 per gibs for the best breeds. Calves were in full
average supply and moderate request at late prices. In
Pigs very little was done. Milch Cows sold at from 15
to 181 each, including their small calf.

BOROUGH HOP NILLIZICET.
There is rather more inquiry for the best Hops in
pockets, at very full prices. In all other kinds a limited
business is doing, at last week'e quotations. The duty
is called from 195,000/. to 200,0001. Generally speaking,
the plantation accounts are not very favourable. Sussex
