MARKET NEWS,(THIS DAY

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
The present week's arrivals of English Wheat for our market have
been on the increase, and of improved quality The stands were
fairly supplied with samples of that article, which met a very dull in-
quiry at barely Monday's quotations, and a clearance was not
effected. The imports of Foreign Wheat have been small. Ilolders
of fine qualities being firm, very few transactions took place at un-
altered figures. Bonded Wheat nominal. The supply of Barley ex-
ceeding_ the wants of the dealers, the Barley trade was heavy, at
barely the late depression in the currencies. Although the quantity
of Malt was not large, the sale for it was heavy, at barely late rates.
The supply of Irish Oats being on the increase, the Oat trade was
dull, and, in some instances, prices had a downward tendency.
Beans, Peas, and Flour, as last advised.

Beef trade was in a very slaggish state, and previous quotations
were with difficulty supported. We had on offer 40 Beasts from

from Szotiand. The numbers of Sheep were again small,
yet the sale for them was heavy, at Monday's prices.
