MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.-(FRIDAY.)
During the present week, the arrivals of English
Wheat for our market coastwise has amounted to only
920 quarters. By land carriage the receipts have been
trifling. Although the show of samples to-day was very
small, the demand for all descriptions was very heavy,
and to effect sales lower rates must have been taken by
the factors. In most instances prices were nominal. The
imports of Foreign Wheat have rather exceeded 10,000
quarters. Most qualities were offered at a reduction of
ls. per quarter, without leading to any business worthy
of notice. Very little Barley was on offer. Malting par-
cels sold at late rates; but the middling kinds were a drug.
Malt continued in the same retail demand, with only a
small quantity on offer. In prices we have no change to
notice. The Oat trade was in a very depressed state at
late curriencies. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Meal,
as well as Flour, were very dull, but not cheaper.

An unusually small supply of Beasts was on offer in
to-day's market; nevertheless, the Beef trade was in a
very inactive state, at prices barely equal to those paid
on Monday last. The extreme quotation for the best
Scots was 4s 2d per Sibs. We were very scantily sup-
plied with all breeds of Sheep, one-third of which was
derived from abroad. The few prime old Downs on
sale commanded a steady trade, at full prices, viz., from
4s 10d to 5s per 8lbs; but polled Sheep were a slow
inquiry. Calves—the numbers of which were limited—
were in steady request, at last week's quotations. In
Pigs, scarcely any business was transacted, hence, the
currencies were almost nominal. Milch Cows were
dull, at from 141 to 181 each, including their small calf.

The finest new Kent Hops are in steady request at, in
some instances, a slight advance in the quotations. In
the middling qualities, only a limited business is doing.
Yearling and old Hops are a mere drug, and lower to
purchase. New Hops—Sussex pockets, 215 s to 21 18s;
Weald of Kent ditto, 21 8s to 31 ss; Mid and East
Kent ditto, 21 12s to 5/ 15s per cwt.
