MARKET NEW S.-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
During last week, the arrivals of all kinds of grain of
home produce for our market, coastwise as well as by
land carriage and sample were on a very moderate scale,
but those of Flour were on the increase. From Ireland
and Scotland very little grain came to hand, but the im-
ports from abroad were very extensive, taken collec-
tively, viz., 2.721 quarters of Wheat, 17,735 ditto of
Barley, 39,813 ditto
1,944 ditto of Beans, 2.525
ditto
00f Peas.
2112 i °dittoof Oofat' Tares,s 4,938 ditto of Linseed,
56 ditto of Mustard-seed, and 548 ditto of Indian Corn.
From Essex and Kent, a fair average quantity of
W heat came fresh to hand this morning, but the receipts
from all other quarters were comparatively small, though
of good quality. As the millers continue short of
stock, and as the the attendance of country buyers was
somewhat numerous, the demand for all kinds of Eng-
lish Wheat was steady, at prices fully equal to those
paid on Monday last, and at which a good clearance was
effected, the market closing firmly. The quantity of
free Foreign Wheat brought forward was by no means
large, yet it proved quite equal to the wants of the
buyers. Fine dry qualities moved off freely, at fully the
late advance in the quotations. In the middling and
inferior kinds only a moderate business was doing, yet
the importers would not sell except at full prises.
One or two floating cargoes were disposed of ;
but corn under lock commanded very little attention.
Scarcely any English Barley was on the market. That
description mostly sold at late rates; but foreign quali•
ties, the supply of which was great, were very dull, and
is to in some instances 2s per quarter cheaper than this
day se'nnight. With Malt we were tolerably well, but
not to say heavily supplied. On the whole, the trade was
in a sluggish state, at last week's quotations. Owing to
the immense influx of Oats from abroad, the Oat
trade ruled exceedingly dull, at a fall in value of from
6d to is per quarter; and large parcels were left over to
Wednesday. English Beans were taken in retail quan-
tities, at late currencies. Foreign pftrcels were is per
quarter, with very little business doing m them. All

kinds of Peas, though in moderate supply, moved off
slowly, and the quotations had a downward tendency.
Indian Corn and Meal were very dull, but not cheaper.
Town-made Flour was steady, but country marks were
a slow inquiry. In prices we have no change to notice,

Upwards of 2,000 head of each kind of stock have been.
landed at the northern outports, mostly from Rotterdam.
The supply of foreign Beasts in to-day's market was
comparatively small, that of Sheep and Calves somewhat
extensive. The general quality being indifferent, the
demand was heavy, at low rates of currency. The num-
bers of English-fed Beasts on offer this morning were
seasonably good, though considerably less than those
exhibited on this day se'nnighr. As the attendance of
buyers was on the increase, the Beef trade was tolerably
steady, at prices about equal to those paid on Monday
last. The highest figure for the best Scots did not, how-
ever, exceed 4s per 81bs. Previous to the conclusion of
business a fair clearance had been effected. From Nor-
folk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received
about 1,300 Scots, short-horns, &c.; from the western
and midland districts, 700 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c.;
from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds; and
from Scotland, 240 horned and polled Scots. With
Sheep we were well supplied, even the time of year con-
sidered. Prime old Downs moved off stead►ly at fall
rates of currency, viz., from 4s 10d to 5s per 81bs.
Otherwise, the Mutton trade was in a sluggish state, at
barely last week's prices. The general quality of the
Sheep was tolerably good. Lambs (the supply of which
was a full average) moved off slowly, yet prices were
fairly supported in most instances. A
very large sup-
ply of Calves was on offer, while the Veal trade was
heavy, at a reduction in value of 2d per Bibs. The Pork
trade was excessively dull, at a fall in prices of 2d per
81bs.

BOROUGH AND SPITAL PIZILDB.
For the time of year the supplies of old Potatoes are
large. So little is doing in them that it is difficult to
give accurate quotations. A few York Reds have sold
at 100 s to 140 s per ton. The imports last week were
heavy, viz., 6,560 baskets from Rotterdam ; 160 ditto
from Hamburgh; and 1,100 ditto from Anfiverp.
BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
Owing to the favourable accounts from the planta-
tions, the demand for all kinds of Hops is heavy, and
prices have a downward tendency. The duty has ad-
vanced to 185,0001.—Sussex pockets, 21 16s to 31 2s per
cwt; Weald of Kent ditto, 3/ to 315 s per cwt; Mid and
East Kent ditto, 31 5s to 51 8s per cwt.

WOOL.
Public sales of about 30,000 bales of colonial wool
were commenced on Thursday, and will be continued
for several days. Hitherto the attendance of buyers has
been tolerably good, and a fair quantity has sold at a
decline of from Id to 2d per lb. Privately, we have no
transactions to notice. The imports last week consisted
of 3,388 bales from Hobart Town and Sydney; 180 ditto
from Hamburgh; and 200 ditto from various other
quarters.
