MARKET NEWS -(THIS DAY.)

C.,)RN EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
With the exception of the supply of English Barley
being somewhat on the increase—though it was small,
the time of year considered—the arrivals of all kinds of
grain, as well as flour, of home-produce, during the last
wet k, were on a very limited scale, and of but middling
quality. A few cargoes of Oats came to hand from Ire-
land; but the receipts from Scotland were unusually
small. Owing to the boisterous weather, and the change
in the wind, the imports of Grain from abroad exhibited
a falling off, compared with those in the two preceding
weeks; but those of Flour—principally from France—
were rather heavy. The total quantities were as follows:
—Wheat, 15,260; Barley, 1,618; Oats, 1,878; Rye,
1,880; Beans, 947; Peas, 518; Tares, 81; Linseed,
12,901; and sundry Seeds, 967 quarters. Flour, 1,000
barrels, and 8,633 sacks. From Essex, Kent,: Cam-
bridgeshire, &c., a very limited quantity of Wheat came
fresh to hand for this morning's market, coastwise as well
as by land-carriage, and sample. As the bulk of the supply
shown on Friday was disposed of, very lee( stale parcels
were brought forward to-day; hence, the:stands were
scantily supplied with samples of both red and white.
For all descriptions—but more particularly for selected
qualities, which were extremely scarce, the, demand was
firm, at prices fully equal to those obtained on this day
se'nnight, and at which a good demand was effected by,
the factors. The quantity of free foreign Wheat on
offer was not to say large, considering the,keavy sup-
plies lately received for home consumptin. Prime
qualities commanded a firm inquiry, at fully last week's
quotations. In the middling and inferior kinds, a fair
average amount of business was doing, at late
rates. Prior to the rise in the duty = on.
Thursday last to 5s per quarter, 80,000
quarters were released from the bonded warehouses.
There was a decided improvement in the sale for the
best malting Barley, at a rise in value of from Is to, in
some instances, 2a per quarter. Grinding and distilling
sorts were in moderate request at fully last week's cur-
rencies. The supply of Barley, both English and foreign,
was seasonably good in quality, but small in quantity.
For most kinds of Malt, ready for delivery, we had a
fair inquiry, at prices quite equal to those realised on
Monday last. For forward delivery but few sales took
place, yet the holders were very firm. The total quan-
tity of Oats on show was small, nevertheless it
proved quite adequate to meet the wants of
the dealers. Sound Corn produced fully late
rates. Otherwise, the Oat trade was is a slug-
gish state, but without alteration in value. Tor
Beans the inquiry ruled dull, at last week's prices. Grey
and Maple Yeas were tolerably steady, at fully last
Monday's quotations. White parcels rated dull. Indian
Corn and Meal were neglected. The top price or the
best town-made Flour was 48s per 280 lbs. All kinds of
Flour were a slow inquiry. •

At the northern ontports nearly 1,200 head of stock
have been landed from Holland, and 120 oxen have'beea
received at Southampton from Spain. Several steamers
having arrived from Holland laden with-stock since Sa-
turday, the supply of Beasts on sale this- morning from
abroad rwas very extensive, but of middling quality.
Sheep and Calves, the numbers of which were large,
were in full average condition. For all breeds the de-
mend was heavy in the extreme, and though the im-
porters submitted to considerably lower rates. nearly
one-third left the market unsold. As a large portion of
the general supply exhibited on Friday last, viz., 800
Beasts, 4,000 Sheep, and 200 Calves, was not disposed
of, there was a decided increase in it this morning; that
of Beasts was nearly 5,000 head, and there was a great
improvement in their quality. The attendance of , both
town and country buyers was good; nevertheless, as the
weather was unfavourable for slaughtering, and the sup-
ply was greater than the butchers could take off, the
Beef trade was excessively heavy, at a decline in the
prices paid on Monday last of quite 2d, in some instances
4d, per 81bs. The highest general top price for Beef was
3s 10, but a few very superior Scots produced 4s per Mb..
Nearly 500 Beasts were turned out unsold. From Lin—
colnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, we re-
ceived about 1,800 short-horns ; from the eastern,
western, and midland counties, 1,200 Herefords, runts,
Devons, Irish beasts, short-horns, &c.; from other parts
of England, 400 of various breeds.
The remainder of
the bullock supply was derived from abroad and the
neighbourhood of the metropolis. There was a consi•
derable increase in the supply of Sheep, owing to which
the Mutton trade was extremely dull. All breeds were
selling at 2d par Blbs less money than that paid on
Monday last, or at Friday's reduction in value. The
highest figure for the few old Downs on offer was 4s 10d
per Blbs. We were heavily supplied with foreign Calves,
but the number of those home-ted was small. 'The Veal
trade was unusually dull, at 4d per 81bs less money.. The
highest quotation was 4a per 81bs. In Pigs next to
nothing was doing, and prices were 2d per 81bs lower
than last week.

NEU/GATE AND LEADENBALL.
A very extensive supply of country-killed meat has
been received up to these markets since Monday last.
it having amounted to nearly 800 carcases of Beef, 1,500
ditto of Mutton, 900 ditto of Veal, and 1,800 ditto of
Pork. The supplies on offer slaughtered in the metro-
polis have been large; owing to which, and the previil-
ing damp weather, the general demand has ruled ex-
cessively heavy, at a decline in prices of from 2d to, in
some instances, 4.d per Sibs. Great difficulty has- been
experienced, on the part of the salesmen, in effecting
clearance. About 700 carcases of foreign meat kayo
appeared on sale.

BOROUGH AND SPIT.4I.FIRLDS.
About 2,000 tons of Potatoes have arrived coastwise
since Monday last. The foreign imports have been
very extensive, ♦iz., 100 begs from Hanaburgh; 350
tons from Dunkirk; 200 ditto from Havre; 100 baskets
from Rotterdam; 1,000 tons from Rouen; and 130 ditto
from St. Valery. Selected samples are in steady request
at full prices; otherwise the demand is heavy at barely
lato rates. Yorkshire Regents, 100 s to 140 s; Wisbeach
ditto, 100 s to 110 s; Scotch ditto, 100 s to 120$ ditto
Reds, 70s to 80s; French Whites, 85s to 98s; Belgian
ditto, 80s to 90s.
BOROUGH HO? MARKET.
Our market rules firm for the best New Hops, in
pockets, at fully last week's quotations. In the middling
and inferior kinds, as well as yearling and Old Hops+
comparatively little business has been transacted. The
duty upon a few unimportant districts has been declared
at 9,517/ 16s 64d. That for the whole coantrf
is still called 205,0001 to 210,0001. New Hops
Sussex pockets, 44s to 60s ; Weald of Kent ditto,
48s to 70s; Mid and East Kent ditto, 56s to 1075;
Farnhams, 107 s to 112 s per cwt.

WOOL.
The imports of Wool into London, last week, con-
sisted of only 150 bales from Hamburgh ; 73 ditto from
the Cape ; 49 ditto from Rotterdam ; and 8 ditto from
Oporto. The demand in the private contract market if;
tolerably steady, but owing to the large parcels 0'
Colonial Wool we have not the slightest improvemenC
to notice in prices.

TALLOW.
On the whole our market must be considered firm, 01
fully the late depression in the quotations. The imports
last week were only 641 casks, but there are upwards of
10,000 casks now on their way from St. Petersburgb.
The stock is one of the largest on record, yet the ito"
porters are by no means anxious sellers at present
prices. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted at 44s 9d to 456
per cwt. Steady sales have been done for all the year
at 44s 3d to 44s 6d per cwt. Town Tallow, 45s per of'
net cash; Rough Fat, 2s 7d per 81bs. „ •
