Notwithstanding our market, to-day, was very mo-
derately supplied with Beasts, both as to number and
quality, the Beef trade was in a very depressed state,
and, in most instances, the quotations declined 2d per
albs. The few prime Scots on offer sold at only 4s per
81bs, and a total clearance was not effected. The show
of foreign stock was small. The numbers of Sheep
were rather limited; nevertheless, the demand for that
description of stock ruled heavy, at a fall in the
prices paid on Monday last of 2d per albs, the highest
figure for the best Old Downs being 55 per 81bs. There
was a considerable falling off in the supply of Calves.
On the whole, the Veal trade was firm, at full curren-
cies. Some prime small Porkers sold steadily, other kinds
of Pigs slowly,'at late rates. Mileh Cows were selling at
from 141 to 1715 s each, including their small Calf.

FRUlT.—Rotterdam Grapes have had a ready sale.

held far advanced rates, Black Spanish being very
scarce.
TALLOW.—The market is dull.

TOBACCO.—There was a slightly improved demand
for some descriptions last month, sales being nearly
900 hhds., but without producing any change in the pre-
vious character of the market. Mid and ord sorts, both
for home trade and exportation, remain neglected; the
feeling of buyers had generally been wholly uninfluenced
by the current reports of a very short supply of Ken-
tucky strips in the present importation, and the probable
inferiority of the present crop, which is stated as very
ordinary and considerably under an average. Two or three
small parcels of Kentucky strips of the present impor-
tation have been sampled, and have turned outin good
condition, coloury, but very deficient in substance.
The French Government has taken nearly 2,000 hog:,
heads of Kentucky leaf, at about an average of 4d.
Imports, 737 hogsheads; deliveries, 1,068 hogsheads;
against 801 hogsheads in the corresponding month
of 1847. Stock, 27,918 hogsheads against 25,680
in 1847. In Virginia sales have been very
limited, not having exceeded 200 hogsheads.
and although the stock of good and fine is comparatively
small, prices have remained ; ord descriptions have been
almost entirely neglected. In Kentuckly leaf and strips
has consisted the principal sales of last month ; 180
hhds of leaf were taken chiefly for exportation, and
480 hhds of strips ; the latter were mostly of good
and fine, at 4id to 56,4 per lb. In Maryland
nothing done. Havannah Leaf has been in very limited
demand, both for home trade and exportation ; recent
importations of the new crop have turned out of very
inferior quality as respects colour, and sales must con-
tinue difficult to effect so long as preference is given to
other growths, at lower rates, superior in colour and
texture. For Havannah Cigars of good and fine quality
the demand has been steady, and previous prices fully
supported; a few cases of mid and ord were taken for ex-
portation. Manilla Cheroots have been in fair request,
at former rates. Stock is very small of some descrip-
tions. Manila leaf arrivals last month were 200 bales.
Sales have been almost confined to selections for home
use, at a trifling advance. For Cuba the demand has
been limited; buyers have supplied themselves as in need.
In Yara, sales have been made to a fair extent. In
Columbian there has been less doing, and purchases
confined, in a great measure, to selection of fine and
coloury sorts, for immediate use ; former prices have
been barely supported. In St. Domingo nothing
done. Stock is now exhausted, excepting a very small
parcel, which is offering at a very low price. Havannah
Seed Leaf, a few cases of very fine were taken at
previous rates, mid and ord have been sold at reduced
quotations. In Brazil sales have been confined to ord
sorts, for fillers, at previous prices. Porto Rico of good,
mid quality has been in fair demand. German—Sales
have been made to some extent; ord at very
low prices, and fine, in some instances, at a
slight improvement. Recent importations have turned
out in good condition, and well selected. Amersfoot,
about 20 cases have been sold for snuff purposes, at 34d
to sif 1. In Negro Head and Cavendish a fair extent of
business has been transacted at steady prices. Stalks
were in good demand.

THE CHOLERA IN EDINBURGH.—We have received
from a source on which we can rely! the intelligence that
the Asiatic cholera has made its appearance in Edin-
burgh. There were two unmistakeable cases on Wed-
nesday in the Carlton district.—Post.
Captain Rowley and family, and Captain Cross,
R.N., left London yesterday morning, by the General
Steam Navigation Company's steamship Soho, for
Autworp.

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
A very limited quantity of English Wheat has been
received up to our market this week, coastwise as well as
by land carriage. To-day the stands were scantily sup-
plied with samples of litioth Red and White. Still, how-
ever, the demand, owing to the large arrivals from
abroad, was in a very sluggish state. The finest par-
cels mostly sold at Monday's quotations; but all other
kinds were somewhat easier to sell. Upwards of 20,000
quarters of Foreign Wheat have come in. Selected
qualities were held at full prices. The middling and
out of-condition parcels were in some instances is per
quarter lower, with a very sluggish inquiry. Scarcely
any English Barley was in the market, while the supply
of Foreign was by no means extensive. Picked samples
were quite as dear, but the value of grinding and distil
ling sorts had a downward tendency. The demand for
Malt was wholly retail, at barely late figures. The
supply on offer was small. Oats were in moderate re-
quest at late rates. In other Grain, as well as Flour we
have no change to notice.
