MARKET NE W S.-(YESTERD AY.)
CORN-EXCHANGE.
The last week's arrivals of all kinds of grain of home produce
coastwise as well as by land carriage, samples were on a very limited
seals, though ef somewhat improved quality; while from Scotian-id
the receipts were unimportant. The first supply of oats from Ireland
was by no means equal to the wants of the dealers ; while the whole
of the arrivals from abroad, which were smell, have gone into the
bonded warehouses. From Essex, Kent, and Cambridgeshire the re•
celpts of Wheat fresh up to-day were considerably on the increase,
and the stands were consequently well filled with samples. This
increase in the supply—xotwithstanding most of the large millers are
short of stock—had a prejudicial effect upon the demand f..r all de-
scriptions. The fluent qualities of both red and white supported, in mast
instances, the quotations obtained on Monday last ; but the middling
and inferior kinds were with difficulty disposed of, even at somewhat
easier terms. The market closed very heavily for English Wheat,
and a clearance was not effected. As very few parcels of Foreign
Wheat have, as yet, been entered for consumption, the importers
waiting the result of the new Corn Bill in the Upper House, we hail
a very poor show here to-day ; yet, in the present state of affairs. it
was quite equal to meet the wants of the trade. Even the 1110 t
selected descriptions burg on hand, and the general quotations oust
be considered almost nominal. Bended Wheat and all other grain
was excessively dull, very few speculators coming forward.
owing to the nnusually high prices emanded by the holder&
From our awn coasts as well as from all other quarters the supply 0f
Barley has been very trifling, hence the quantity on show to-day was
small. Still, however, the Barley trade was heavy, and even the,
finest malting parcels hung on hand. In prices wo have no materiel
alteration to report. The supply of Malt was again small. Fine
white parcels commanded a steady but not to say brisk inquiry. a'
fully late rates. All other kinds were a slow sale, at barely station'
ary prices. We had very few Oats on offer, hence the oat trade was
firm, at an improvement in the currencies of last week of from 611
Is per quarter, and most or the parcels en offer found buyers. not-
withstanding the supply of Beans was small, that article met a ver7,
inactive demand, at about previous quotations. White Peas sold at
full prices, but all other qualities were in sluggish request, though lee
cannot call them cheaper. The bakers operated with great caution,
consequently the Flour trade was dull, et barely last week's price&
In Seeds we have but few sales to notice.

The imports of live stock from abroad for our market during the

Oxen and Cows, 400 Sheep, and 6 Calves, from Rotterdam, Scheidata•
and Harlingen.' While at Hull about 100 Beasts and sheep have

demand for foreign stock was in a very inactive state,
and prices had in most instances a downward tendencl",
From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up this
morning were good as to numbers, and of very superior quality, hi-
deed we seldom recollect to have seen a finer collection at any Pre"
vieus corresponding period of the year. Notwithstanding, therefoll:
the attendance of buyers was large, the Beef trade was very dull, 4'
a decline in the prices obtained on this day se'nnight of 2d per elhn.
and a total clearance was not effected. From Norfolk, Sufrol'
Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,200 Scots, homebred&
and short horns ; from the western and midland counties, 600 Ilere:,
fords, Herons, runts, &c. ; from other parts of England, 700 "'
various breeds ; and from Scotland, 150 horned and polled Scots.

Mutton was on the Increase, owing to which the trade was in a dr

higher figure for the best old Downs being 5s 4d, and which was not
obtained without the greatest difficulty. From the Isle of 55 fight
60 Lambs and 40 Sheep came to hand. The Lamb trade was heev/'
at barely stationary prices. Calves were in short supply, and hall
