LLOYD'S SHIPPING.

MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY).
CORN EXCIXANGE.
The arrivals of English Wheat during the present week, coastwise
as well as by land carriage and sample, have been on the increase,
and of somewhat improved quality. The quantity on offer to-day
being large, the demand was very dull, at a decline on the quotations
cbtained on Monday of 2s per quarter. In Foreign Wheat, free as
well as in bond, so little was doing, that the prices were
almost nominal. The imports this week have amounted to
8,660 quarters. The show of Barley was small, yet the
sale for that article was heavy, at barely stationary prices.
For Malt, the inquiry was confined to retail parcels, yet prices
were maintained, especially those of the finest qualities. The
arrivals of Oats being on the increase, the Oat trade was very
in ;olive, and the superior kinds might have been purchased on some-
what easier terms. Beans, Peas, anti Flour as last quoted.

an to day's market the supplyyy of Beasts—a large portion of which
was the influx of Monday —was tolerably good, and of fair average
quality. The attendance of buyers being small, the Beef trade was
very dull, at barely stationary prices. There were on sale 60 Beasts
and 40 Sheep from abroad, and 220 Sects from Aberdeen. The num-
bers of Sheep were rgain on the Increase, owing to which, the de-
mand for that description of sock was inactive, at late rates. From
the Isle of Wight, afoot 250 Lambs came to hand per railway. On
the whole, the Lamb trade was steady, and previous quotations were
well supported. In Calves, exceedingly little was doing, at a de-
cline in value of 2d per 81bs. The Pork trade was hea-ry, at late
rates. Mulch Cows dull, at from 161 to 18/ 5s each; Suckling Calves,
18s to 30s ; and Quarter-old Store Pigs, 16s to 20s each. Beasts,
702 ; Cows, 135; Sheep and Lambs, 6,150 ; Calves, 185 ; Pigs, 280.

We had a very dull trade here, at barely previous quotations.
EOROUGH HOP BIAILICHT.
There is rather more business doing in the finest Colony Hops of
last year's growth at full prices. All other kinds are a dull sale,
and the quotations are with difficulty supported. The supply on offer
by no means extensive.

(From the London New Price Current of May 8.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was more desire to purchase Ra'
Sugar for home consumption, and merchants were less in-
clined to realise. The quantity of West India Sugar sold pri-
vately was 200 hhds and trcs at full rates, and in some cases
rather above. The market closes more firmly for Sugar sub-
ject to the 14s duty.
REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were purchased with
caution by the home trade; the value of brown lurhps is 65s
to 65s 6d, and standard lumps 66s to 66s 6d per cwt. Bonded
crushed Sugar is dull of sale, and 32s 3d to 32s 6d per cwt
taken for first quality.
Illauramus.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was pur-
chaFed with more freedom, and 6,011 bags at auction were
all sold at full rates, viz. middling to fine yellow at 48s
to 545, grey ditto 47s to 51s, good brown 465, low 445, washed
yellow and grey 47s 6d to 518, syrupy 478 to 51s 6d per cwt
—nearly the whole consisted of midding to fine yellow sorts.
EAST INntA.—This afternoon at public sale 155 bags of
Bengal sugar were in part sold at full rates and fetched Ms
to 568 for fine white Benares, rather grainy.
FOREIGN.—In consequence of the extensive public 'sale of
Java Sugar, held by. the Dutch Trading Company, having
gone off better than was expected, holders of all descriptions
of Foreign Sugar here have more confidence; they refrained
from offering any at auction, and the quantity on offer by
private contract is less than it was
FIWIT.—For Currants there continues a good demand, and
the prices quoted fully maintained. Some large parcels of
Valentia Raisins of fine quality having been sent to this
market from the outports tbr sale, the low and inferior sorts
are a complete drug, almost unsaleable.
MOLASSES.—The new sorts of West India are much wanted,
and full rates offered. Bengal Treacle sells more freely and
at better rates.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was little desire manifested
to operate in Mocha Coffee, and 215 bales at auction were
all taken in at the full value. Of Plantation Ceylon 2,155
bags at public sale were nearly all taken in rather above
the value.
TEA.—No further advance has taken place in the value of
Congou, but upon former terms there has been a large busi-
ness transacted in all descriptions. Pouchoag is wanted, and
the parcels sold were at firm rates. Twankay is held with
firmness. llyson has been largely dealt in, common at 2s to
2s 2d, but middling to good 25 3d to 2s Bd, fine to very fine
2s 9d to 4s. Of Imperial and Gunpowder the parcels dis-
posed of were upon fully former terms.' Pekoe Teas are little
wanted, and prices are still on the decline.
RICE.—To-day the market was much better supplied with
Bengal Rice, four parcels, amounting to 6,208 bags and 299
pockets, were submitted to public competition : the trade
were desirous to operate, and the whole sold at an advance
on former rates of 6d per cwt.
SPISES.—This afternoon Malabar Pepper met with atten-
tion, and 100 bags at auction were sold at full rates. Cloves
are still wanted. Of Mace 6 chests 1 bag were sold at full
rates. 87 bags of Nutmegs in the shell were only in part sold
at the reduced rates of 51Ad to 6d per lb.
Serarrs.—Holders of Jamaica- Rum have been unable to
obtain any further advance in prices, but there has been a
good business transacted. Demerara is wanted, and the
parcels sold were at fully former rates. Calcutta has met
with little attention, and prices arenot sofirtn. Leeward Island
has been sparingly dealt in, but former rates are maintained.
Although Brandy can be obtained upon further reduced terms,
still shippers and the home trade have (permed with caution
this week, and the stock has been further increased, but the
deliveries are getting larger. Geneva is dull of sale, and
there are sellers of common export at Is lid to 2s, and fine
at 2s Gd to 3s per gallon_ English Corn Spirits are little
wanted.

Otz.s.—There has been a much better demand for Linseed
Oil this week, and an advance on former rates of 6d to 9d
per cwt. For Rape Seed Oil, further reduced rates having
been taken, many parcels have been disposed of. CocOa Nut
Oil has met with little attention. Palm has been in good
request, still prices do not advance. Olive has met with

little attention.
TALLOW.—There has been a better demand for Russian on
this week ; and buyers have been compelled to pay a slight
advance on former rates. For forward delivery there are
sellers upon rather lower terms. In American and New
South Wales a good business has been transacted on the
spot, and holders have obtained rather better prices.
Town Tallow is still plentiful, and a large business has been
transacted.
