lIARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHAN GE-MONDAY.
During last week, the arrivals of English Wheat for
our market, coastwise, were on the increase ; those of
ALA were seasonably extensive ; but those of all
other articles of home produce were comparatively
small. The receipts from Ireland and Scotland were
confined to a few parcels of Oats. Liberal supplies
came to band from abroad, viz., 6,819 quarters of
Wheat ; 18,872 quarters of Barley ; 35,051 quarters of
•-)ats; 165 quarters of Rye; 1,282 quarters of Beans ;
1,799 quarters of Peas ; 46 quarters of Tares ; 2,267
quarters of Linseed ; 87 quarters of Mustard Seed ; 117
quarters of sundry Seeds ; and 313 barrels, together
with 125 sacks of Flour. Fresh up to-day, only a mo-
derate quantity of Wheat of home produce was received
up to our market coastwise, as well as by land-carriage
and sample. Notwithstanding the attendance of both town
and country buyers was good,and the showof samples very
moderate, the demand for all kinds of English Wheat was
in a very sluggish state. Selected qualities of red and
white were, however, mostly disposed of, at prices about
equal to those obtained on Monday last. In the mid-
dling and interior kinds exceedingly little business was
transacted, at, in same instances, a decline in the quota •
tions of Is per quarter, and which a clearance was with
difficulty effected. The general quality of the Wheats
brought forward to-day was good. The show of Foreign
Wheat was by no means large, owing to several cargoes
of the late arrivals being sold last week on board for
consumption in the north. The importers were not
to say anxious sellers ; yet in the few sales con-
cluded prices suffered an abatement of Is. per quarter.
Bonded Wheats were heavy, and almost nominal in value.
Scarcely any English Barley was brought forward, but
the supply of Foreign was very extensive. All kinds
met a very dull inquiry, at, in some instances, a decline
in the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight of Is
per quarter. This fall, however, applies more particu-
larly to Foreign qualities. Thu supply of Malt being
more than equal to the wants of the buyers, the Malt
trade was in a very dull state, at almost nominal quo-
tations. With Foreign Oats we were very heavily sup-
plied. Even the best parcels met a very dull inquiry,
and the prices were 6d per quarter lower than last week.
In Beaus very few transactions took place; nevertheless,
we have no decline to notice in prices. The sale for
Peas was in a very sluggish state, at barely late rates.
Indian Corn and Meal commanded very little attention.
In Flour comparatively little business was passing, at
our quotations. The supply was very moderate.

The arrivals at the various northern outports have been
moderate, the time of year considered, viz., 960 head,
chiefly from Liansburgh and Rotterdam. The following
statement shows the total importations of the first five
months of the present and two previous years, ending

Total 19,666 38,179 34,654
The principal features in the above returns are the great
falling off in the imports of Cows this year, and the
large increase in those of Calves. The number of

foreign Beasts was very moderate, the time of year con-
sidered; but that of Sheep and Calves was again exten-
sive, and of somewhat improved quality. Each kind of
stock met a very inactive demand, at barely last week's
quotations. With home-fed Beasts we were tolerably
well, but not to say heavily supplied, but there was a
slight falling-off in their weighing qualities. As the
dead markets were well cleared of their last week's sup-
plies, and the attendance of buyers here to-day on the
increase, the Beet trade was steady, at an advance in the
quotations paid on Friday last of 2d per Sibs; the prices
paid being on a par with those realised on this day
se'unight, the primeat Scots selling at 4s 2d per 81bs.
rom Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received about 1,394 Spots and short-horns; from the
western and midland districts, 750 Herefords, runts,
Devons, &c. ; from other parts of England, 400 of
various breeds; and from Scotland, 9.90 horned and
polled Scots; the remainder of the bullock supply being
derived from abroad, and the neighbourhood of the
metropolis. There was a slight falling-off in the num-
bers of Sheep, most of which were in good condition.
On the whole, the Mutton trade was firm, but we have
no. improvement to notice in the quotations. The
prunest old Downs sold at from 4s 10d to 5s per Sibs,
and at which a good clearance was effected. The sup-
ply of Lambs was by no means extensive, yet the de-
mand for that description of stock was in a sluggish
state, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per Blbs.
Although the numbers of Calves were good, the Veal
trade was steady, at fully last week's prices. Pigs were
very dull, but we have no alteration to notice in value.

NEWOATS AND MEADENHALA.

Very moderate supplies of country-killed meat have
been received up to these markets during the last
week, arising from the continued warm weather. With
meat slaughtered in the metropolis we have been sea-
sonably well supplied. Prime Mutton has sold steadily
at full rates of currency. In all other kinds of meat
only a limited business has been doing, and in some
instances the quotations have had a downward tendency.
Only about 800 carcases of foreign meat have been on
offer, and which have sold at comparatively low figures.

At per atone by the Carcase.

BOROUGH AND SPITALTIELDS.

The supplies of new Potatoes are extensive, yet the
demand for them is steady, at from 51 to 81 per ton.
During the past week the imports have amounted to
about 1,700 baskets, chiefly from Rotterdam.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
This market still continues in a very dull state, but
we have no further decline to notice in the quotations.
The plantation accounts are considered favourable, and
the daty is called 195,0001. to 200,000/. The supply of
Hops on offer is good. Sussex Pockets, 2/ 15s to 31 2s;
Weald of Kent ditto, 2l 18s to 3155; Mid and East Kent
ditto, 314 s to Si 5s per cwt.

WOOL.
Although the attendance of buyers at the public
sales has been large, the whole of the wool offered has
not found buyers. The fall in prices may be called
from ld to 2d per lb. In the private contract markets
next to nothing is doing, and the quotations have a
downward tendency. The imports since Monday last
have consisted of 250 bales from Hamburgh; 583 ditto
from the Cape; 1,300 ditto from Sydney; and 5,000
ditto from Port Phillip.

TALLOW.
Although the deliveries in the past week have been
good, the demand to-day is somewhat inactive, at a
further decline of 3d per cwt. P.Y.C. on the spot is
44s 6d to 44s 3d. For forward delivery very little is
doing. Town Tallow is 44s to 44s 6d net cash; rough
frit 2s 6d per 8 lbs. The shipments of Tallow from bt.
Petersburgh this year, up to the 28th ult., were 21,750
casks, against 7,450 ditto at the same time in 1847.

ST. MARTINS-IN-THE-FIELDS.—The Rev. Henry
Mackenzie having been appointed to the vicarage of this
parish, on the resignation of the Rev. Sir. B. R. Dulon-
field, Bart., was formally inducted to the living by the
Rev. J. Jackson, Rector of St. James's in presence of
the churchwardens, sidesmen, and other respectable in-
habitants, on Saturday last. The ancient custom of
tolling the bell by the new vicar and other canonical
forms were duly observed.
