MARKET NEWS-(YESTERDAY.)
CORN-EXCHANCFE.
The arrivals of English Wheat up to our market last wet
were considerably on the increase, and of superior quality ,
Of all other Garin of home produce the receipts were mo-
derate. From Scotland very little came to hand; but from
Ireland upwards of 10,000 quarters of Oats reached us. The
imports of Foreign Corn and Flour were only to a moderate
extent. Fresh up a full average quantity of Wheat of home
produce was received coastwise, principally from Essex and
Kent, consequently the stands were well filled with
samples of both Red and White, the principal portion of
which were those left over from last week. The supply
being more than adequate to meet the wants of the
dealers, whose attendance was comparatively small, the de-
mand was in a slugglish state. Still, however, a full amount
of business was transacted at, in some instances, a decline in
the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight of is per quarter,
but, as that depression was riot general, we can make no al-
teration in our prices. At the close of the market a clearance
had not been effected. With free Foreign we were well sup-
plied. That article met a very slow inquiry, and the quota-
tions had a downward tendency, without much progress
being made in sales. In Grain under lock next to
nothing was doing, either for shipment or speculation
in the home market. Prices was, therefore, almost nominal
The supply of Barley was comparatively small. Selected
parcels of malting moved off steadily, at full prices; hut
grinding and distilling sorts commanded very little attention,
at late rates Although the quantity of Malt on show was
small, that article, arising from the nue illingnetisof the large
brewers to get into stock at the present high rates, was in a
very inactive state, at last week's currencies. The actual,
supply of Oats was small. Sound Corn was quite as dear
but ell other kinds were much neglected, though we cannot
call them cheaper. In Beaus a moderate business was doing,
at previous rates. The sale for Peas was by no maans active,
at lust week's figures. Flour dull, at our quotations.

To-day we had on 'sale about 300 Beasts, 1,000 Sheep, and
10 Calves from abroad, the whole of which were disposed of
at full prices. From our own grazing districts the arrivals
of beasts fresh up this morning were large, and of consider-
ably improved quality. The weather being favourable to
slaughtering, and the attendance of buyers good, the Beef trade
was firm, at an advance in the currencies obtained on Mondry
last of 2d per 81bs, and at which a good clearance was effected.
The droves from the northern counties were composed of
nearly 2,000 short horns ; from the western and u.idland
districts, 900 Herefords, Runts, Devons, tsc. •, and from other
parts of England, SOO of various breeds. With Sheep we
were moderately supplied, while the Mutton trade was steady,
and last week's prices were well supported. Calves moved
off slowly, at late rates, but Pigs were quite as dear.

NEWGATE AND LEADENHAT.I6
Since Monday last the arrivals of country-killed Meat for
these markets have been on the increase, but by no means
extensive, the time of year considered. The supplies on
offer, staisbtered in the metropolis, have been good, but of
very middling quality. Prime Beef and Mutton, owing to
their scarcity, have sold readily at full prices, but the value
of all other kinds of Meat has had a cownward tendency.
About 1,000 carcases of foreign stock have appeared on sale.
