MARKET NEWS-(Y.ESTERDAY.)

CORN.EXCHANG E.
During last week the arrivals of English Wheat, Barleis
Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour were on a very limited scale
but those of Malt were moderate From either Ireland or Scot-
land, very little Grain of any description came to hand, but
from abroad, large supplies or Wheat, Oats, and Flour were
received, and chiefly landed in bond. Fresh up, the fee
eeipts of Wheat of home produce were trifling, though of lull average
quality The attendance of buyers, most of whom were unit, rally
bare of stock, being good, and the stands scantily filled with
samples, the best qualities of Wheat of home produce
commanded a steady sale, at an advance, in the quotation, obtained
on this day se'nnight, of Is per quarter, while the value of the mid-
dling and inferior kinds was well supported. At the Jose of busi-
ness a good clearance was effected. There was a good inquiry for
Foreign Wheat under lock, for shipment to Belgium, at full curren-
cies. Fine qualities were in moderate request, and in some instances
the turn dearer. Barley, the supply of which was small,
moved off freely, and selected parcels were the turn dearer.
Superfine White Malt moved off steadily, though the actual amount
of business passing in ,t was not large. AU other kinds were some-
what neglected. From all quarters very few Oats, if we except the
foreign importations, have come to band. That erticle was, therefore,
in good request, at an improvement in value of from 6d to is per
quarter. For Beans there was a firm demand, at a trifle mere moneY•
White Peas were selling at Is. per quarter mere money, while the
value of other kinds was well supported. There was rather more in-
quiry for Flour, but prices were not higher. The accounts from the
provinces resin eti g the growing Wheats are very tavourable, but
Spring Corn stands much ht need of moisture.

BOROUGH AND SPITAXXXELDS.
For the time of year, the supply of old Potatoes on offer is geed!
but of very inferior quality. The business transacted since our last
has been very trifling, and it is with difficulty we can give accurate
quotations. A few lots of York Reds have sold at from 100 s to 140$;
York Regents, 305 to 60s; and Scotch Reds, 20s to 70s per ton.
BOROUGH HOP 241C.A.43.3KET.
The accounts which have reached us from the plantations in Kent
and Sussex since our last, bebig of a more favourable character, the gee
neral demand here is heavy, and must have a dewnw .rd tendency. The
duty has advanced to 130,0001. The following quotations are almost
nominal: - Sussex pockets, Si 5s to 61108; Weald of Kents, 5/ 101
to 61 15s; Middle and East Kent, 6/ 6s to 8/ 15s.
SMITHFIELD.
Since this day se'nnight the imports of foreign stock in the port of
London have consisted of 350 Oxen and Cows, 700 Sheep, 200 Lambs,
and 10 Calves fr,m Rotterdam ; 30 Oxen from Hamburgh , and 108
Sheep from Flushing. We had on offer about 230 foreign Beasts, 500
clit`o of Sheep, 100 ditto of Lambs, and 5 ditto of Calves, for the whole
et which— though the quality was tolerably good—the demand
was in a very sluggish state, and, in some instances, the quotations
had a downward tendency, without effecting a clearance.
Fresh up, the arrivals of Beasts from our grazing districts sere se-
sonably good, but -considerably less than those received onthis day
se'nnieht. Owing to the continued warm weather, and the thin
at-
tendance of buyers, the Beei trade was in a very depressed state; at
barely last Monday's reduced reduced currencies, the highest 'S
for the best Scots not exceeding 3s 10d per 81bs. From Norfolk. Suf-
folk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,600 Scots, ho,nehreda
and short horns ; Iron: the western and midland counties,
400
et' various breeds ; from other parts of England, 300 of variousco
breeds; and. from Scotland, 180 horned and polled Sta.
The numbers of Sheep were vory large, and of prime quality. Sti
however, the Mutton trade was tolerably firm at last week's quota-_
Bons. Lambs, the supply of which wes again extensive, moved off
steadily, yet the highest price obtained for the best Down qualities
was only 6s. per lebs. In Calves and Pigs very little businese was
transacted at late rates. We regret to state that 35 Sheep were
killed on the Eastern Counties Railway on Saturday last. The
Sheep in question belonged to Mr. James Syder, of Fakenham, Norfolk.

Since thi, day se'nnight the arrival of country-killed Meat up to
our markets have been, coosidering the pre'. ailing warm weather,
good, and of very superior quality. The supplies slaughtered in the
metropolis have been seasonably extensive. Prime Mutton hasbeenof
in steady request, at full rates of currency. In all other kinds
Meat exceedingly little has been doing, and the quotations have bad
a downward tendency. Several carcases of foreign Beasts and Sheep
have appeared on sale.

The imports of Wool into London during the past week have been
unusually small, yet the supplies on offer are somewhat extensive.
Privately, both foreign and colonial qualities are a dull sale, at barely
stationary prices ; but for English clothing there is rather more de-
mand, at full rates of currency.
