MARKET NEWS -(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
Fresh up from Essex, Kent, Cambridgeshire, and all others quar-
ters, the arrivals of Wheat were on a very limited scale. The at-
tendance of both town and country buyers being somewhat on the
increase, the demand for the finest parcels of both red and white,
was steady, and, in some few instances, a trifle more money was ob-
tained for such, while a good demand was effected.

composed of the late unsold arrivals. Although the factors, to effect
a clearance, evinced a willingness to give way in value, the Barley
trade was in a very depressed state, and last week's reduced figures
were with dificulty supported. At the close of the a clearance

rather large. _ For _ the finest corn parcels, the sale was
comparatively
_steady, at full prices ; but all other kinds
hung on hand, at barely previous currencies. The large arrival of
Oats from Ireland produced a great glut of samples, and had a de-
presssing influence upon the demand, which ruled heavy, and prices
declined from 6d to Is per quarter. For Beans we had a very slow
inquiry, at late rates. In Peas next to nothing was doing, yet the
quotations were supported. Flour tolerably steady at late figures.

SMITHPIELV.
The arrivals Of Beasts from our own grazing districts were lemon-
ably good, and oT very superior quality ; indeed we have seldom seen a
better collection- of that description of stock. The weather being un-
favourable for slaughtering, the Beef trade 'was very dull, at a de-
cline in the quotations of quite 2d. per 81118., the highest figure for
the best Scots being only 4s 2d per Sibs. From Norfolk, Suffolk,
Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,200 Scots, home-breds, and
short horns ; from the northern counties, 400 short horns ; from the
western and midland districts, 600 Herefords, runts, Devon*, &c. ;
from other parts of England, 250 of various breeds, and from Scot-
land, 80 Scots. The numbers of Sheep were again very small, yet
the Mutton trade was excessively dull, at barely, but at nothing
small Lambs were
quotable beneath, last week's prices. Prime
business was trans.
steady at 7s. per 81bs. In Calves, scarcely any
acted at the late decline in value. The Pork trade was Arm, and 1
prices were weßsupported.

WOOL.
The imports of Wool have been.on a very limited scale during the past
week, viz., about 300 bales. The public sales of foreign and colonial
wools are now progressing. About 3,300 bales have passed the
chair, ont of which about 3,000 have found buyers at, in some in-
stances, a slight decline in the quotations. The quality of the Aus-
tralian wools has certainly improved. The sales will not be con-
cluded till about the end of the mouth. Privately very little busi-
ness is doing at late rates.
