MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY,
Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat have been
somewhat on the increase, and we had a fair average number
of samples of that article on sale. Still, however, the de-
mand was very steady, at prices fully equal to those obtained
on last market day, and at which a good clearance was
effected. The imports of foreign Wheat have been small.
Holders were very firm, anu would not sell, except at is per
quarter more money. The amount of business doing was,
therefore, limited. No new Barley at market. Old qualities
were quite as dear. We had a good demand for Mait, which
went off as it came to hand, at rather improved currencies.
Oats, the supply of which was small, were in fair request at
full prices. Beaus, peas, and Flour as last advised.

The supply of home-fed beasts on offer was very limited,
that of foreign stock large. Prime Scots, Devons, &c., com-
manded a very steady sale, at fully Monday's quotations,
otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at previous
currencies. We had on sale 270 Oxen and Cows, 1,460
Sheep and Lamb, and 36 Calves from abroad. The numbers
of Sheep were small, while the Mutton trade was very firm,
and in some instances a trifle more money was obtained for
the best old Downs. Lambs moved off readily, at an advance
of 2d per 81bs. The Veal trade was rather active, and prices
were the turn higher. In Pigs a steady business was done,
at late rates. Mulch Cows were dull, at from 161 to 18/ each,
including their small calf.

CITY, QUARTET; TO THI?Eg
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were Li
bale., including 500 for exportation and 1,500 on sPe'
lation. The market was very firm. 6hares were sag
flat.
We yesterday drew attention briefly to a matter wh'
has excited much interest among a most Ns. eta thy cl
of individuals who are connected with the fur Ma'
The result of inquiries made on the subject have ft
niched us with the following facts:—The common P"
tice of the Hudson's Bay Company has been frt
" time immemorial" to retain goods offered for sale,
not then bought by customers, until the rcriod
again the trade is assembled together. A dett
W
from this rule has just occurred, and the subject
cm.sidering the monopoly of the corporation of
Hudson's Bay Company, which requires something ra,t
than the blunt refusal to answer questions on the par'
the governor, to satisfy public justice. A buyer ot be!',
skins for years, sometimes averaging 11,000/. to 12,0v`
complains that betwixt sale and sale he is undersold
the broker or other officer of the company itself.
loses money by finding a competitor in the field vc,
undersells him. He asks for information from
governor relative to the fact, and whether such n°11„
was to be followed for the future. The governor L'
John Belly) questions, litely told Company the Pill
who put the q that thepy would,ll,O
dictated to, and that he might bid or Ira"'
of the room, just as he pleased. It should
noticed that those remarks were considered N.
and that the complainant had in the oplt./31
of the trade ground of complaint. The sale went:
very heavily, and no doubt the future conduct of
pov,erful corporation towards its buyers will be rat
with that degree of attention to the interests of o°l
trade which was universally displayed by the dire,
of the East India Company to their buyers, during
whole period of their commercial career.
The papers by the Great Western have just One
hand. There is little of interest in them.
A considerable amount of business has been transtlc
in the Funds this morning. Consols are at 961 f°l.
Account, and at 96* for cash. The premiutn 12
