Comparatively speaking, the show of Foreign Whet:i
samples was small, but fully adequate to meet the
wants of the millers. Really fine parcels moved off

I was heavy. Grinding and Distilling sorts, the supply of
which was small, were firm, at full rates of currency.
Notwithstanding the supply of Malt was small, that
article, both on the spot and for forward delivery, was
a slow sale, but we have no alteration to notice in its
value. The limited arrivals of Oats induced the holders
to demand higher rates for that Grain. As the dealers
refused to give any
advance, the amount of business
doing was small, at late figures. In: Beans, compara-
tively little was passing. In prices we have no change
to report, with a moderate demand. Very few Peas
were brought forward, nevertheless sales progressed
slowly, at last week's currencies. Indian Corn and Meal
were again dull, but prices were mostly supported. All
kinds of Flour moved off slowly at our quotations.

Meat for our markets have been on a very limited
scale, even the time of year considered. With Meat
slaughtered in the metropolis, we have been fairly sup-
plied. Prime Beef, Mutton, and Lamb have commanded
a ready sale, at an advance in the quotations of 2d per
81bs. In all other kinds of Meat a full average amount
of business has been doing, at very full prices. Nearly
800 carcases of Foreign Meat, killed in London, have
been brought forward.

BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.
The arrivals of Potatoes, coastwise, since Monday
last, have been small ; but the imports from abroad must
be considered larger for the time of year, viz.-95 tons
from Hamburgh, 1,400 bags from Rotterdam, and 200
tons from Antwerp. Prime samples are selling at
higher rates, but all other kinds are neglected. York

BOROUGH ZEOP MARKET.
From nearly the whole of the plantations in Sussex
and Kent, the accounts which have reached us this
morning are favourable. The bine continues to make
rapid progress, notwithstanding it has been slightly
attacked by the fly. The market is heavy, and last
week's prices are with difficulty supported. The duty is
called 160,0001. Sussex pockets, 3/ to 31 6s; Weald of
Kent pockets, 313 s to 3/ los; Mid and East Kent pockets
315 s to 518 s.
