MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-(MONDAY.)
Since this day se'nnight, up to Saturday evening, the receipts of
English Wheat for our market, coastwise as well as by land carriage
and sample, were on a very moderate scale—viz., about 4,500 quar-
ters;; while the receipts of Barley, Beans, Peas, and Flour were
also. on a very moderate scale. Of Irish and Scotch grain the supply
was small, and by no means adequate to meet the wants of the
dealers. However, the imports of Foreign Wheat and Flour, as well
as most other articles (nearly, ur quite, the whole of which have been
landed in bond), were on a full average scale, the time of year con-
sidered. Fresh up very little English Wheat came to hand from any
quarter, consequently the show of samples of that article was limited ;
owing to which,. and the increased attendance of both town and
country millers—most of whom appeared short of stock—the trade
was firm, at higher prices. We quote the finest qualities of White
two shillings, and the secondary parcels one shilling, higher. As to
red Wheat, the sale for it was not quite so active, yet the currencies
improved is per quarter, and very few parcels of any description re-
mained unsold at the close of business. The general condition of the
Wheats was tolerably good, though, of course, several weathered
parcels were on offer. As very little foreign Wheat has passed the
Customs for home consumption during the present year, there was a
great scarcity of that article here this morning, since the holders
were again firm, and would not sell, except at high prices; as those
were submitted to in in very few instances, we can make no altera-
tion In our general figures ; yet the trade may be considered a steady
one. For Corn under lock there were several speculative inquiries, but
the high prices demanded by the importers prevented much business
frem being transacted, yet the rates were quite as high as last week.
We had a very large supply of English Barley on show. Malting
qualities were, therefore, in good request, and the turn dearer ; ansi
the value of grinding and distilling sorts was well supported. The
arrivals of Malt have been on a moderate scale since Monday last.
Ware parcels moved of freely, and prices were well sustained. In
other kin's of Malt comparatively little was doing. Only about
12,000 quarters of Oats—including the foreign supplies—have come
to hand. Nearly the whole of the late large supplies from Ireland
having been disposed of, the quantity on sale to-day, was
small, Superior sweet qualities commanded a firm inquiry,
at a trifle more money ; while the middling and inferior kinds were
quite as dear, with a steady inquiry. We understand the supplies
on their way hither from Ireland are comparatively small. Beans,
the supply of which was moderate, moved off slowly, at late rates.
Although the quantity of Peas on offer was net to say large, the in-
quiry for them was heavy, at previous quotations Flour dull, yet
pikes were firmly maintained.

SIVZI7HPIELD:
The past week's imports of live stock into the metropolis have been
moderately good, viz., 30 Oxen and 119 sheep front Rotterdam, 60
Cows front Ilarlingeu ; a,,d 70 Oxen and Cows from other Dutch ports.
in, for the most part, fair average condithan We had on offer 220
Oxen and Cows, together with 190 Sheep, recently arrived from the
Contiaent. For most qualities of each discription of foreign stock
tile demand was steady, and pikes had an upward tendency. The
bullock droves from our own grazing districts, fresh up this morn-
ing, were very small, yet there was a great improvement in quality,
especially in that of the Short Horns from Norfolk. The atten-
dance of buyers being somewhat numerous, the Beef
trade was steady, at, in most transactions, an advance
in the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight of 2d per
8 lbs., the very primest sorts oroducing 45 6d per albs., and at which
a good clearance was effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and
Cambridgeshire we received 950 SC(3B, home-breds and short-horns ;
from the northern counties, 300 short-horns ; from the western and
midland districts, 500 Herefords, Devons, Runts, &c.. from other
parts of England, 250 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 80 Scots.
The numbers of Sheep were again limited, however the sale for
them was active, at Friday's enhanced quotations, the primest old
Downs selling readily at 5s 8d per 8 lbs. There were about 2,50 u shorn
sheep in the market, which were disposed of at 8d per Sibs beneath
those in the wool. From the Isle of Wight 19 Lambs came to hand
per railway. The Lamb trade may be considered steady, at prices
varying from 5s 8d to 7s per 81bs. The supply of Calves was small,
while the Veal trade was firm, at Friday's prices. Pigs moved off
freely, and last week's quotations were well supported.

NEWGATZ AND I.E.ADENDA.X.36.
Although the arrivals of slaughtered meat, up to these markets
during the past week have been somewhat on the increase, they
have proved by no means seasonably extensive. The supplies
of Lendon•killed meat have been but moderate, owing to which
the general demand has ruled firm, and, in some instances, the quota-
tions have had an upward tendency. About 30 carcases of Dutch
Beasts and 60 ditto of Sheep have found buyers, at full prices. The
former carried a large quantity of internal fat, but the latter were
somewhat different in that respect.

BOROUGH *OP NEARILET.
Superior East and mid Kent Hops are in steady request at full
prices. In all other kinds very little is doing. We had on sale 25
bales of middling quality imported from New York.
BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.
Although the arrivals of Potatoes at the waterside during the week
have been moderately extensive, and of improved quality, the demand
has ruled steady, and prices have been well supported. York Reds,
80s to 130 s; York Regents, 70s to 110 s; Scotch Reds, 75s to 90s;
ditto Buffs and Blues, 701 to 75s ; Jersey Blues, 65s to 75s ; Straws

WOOL.
Since this day se'nnight the imports of Wool have consisted of V)
bags from Hamburgh, 228 ditto from Biiboa, 103 ditto from timyrna,
and 149 ditto from Odessa. Privately, a fair average amount of busi-
ness is doing in most descriptions, and prices are generally supported.
TALLOW.
The price for yellow candle Tallow of line quality is very firm at
435, and for ordinary quality on contract 428 9d ; there is but little
on hand duty paid, and the holders are unwilling to pay the duty
until the question is settled. In new Tallow there is very little doing,
there are buyers at 41a 9d In bond, but no sellers under 425. Town
Tallow 43s net cash.
