MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCIIANGE-MONDAY.

In consequence of the severity of the weather the
arrivals of all kinds of Grain, as well as Flour, up to our
market, coastwise and by land carriage, last week, were
on a limited scale; while those from Ireland and Scot-
land were small in the extreme. From abroad no Wheat
or Flour came to.hand, indeed the only foreign imports
were 91'5 quarters of Oats and 56 ditto of Linseed.
Fresh up this morning the supply of English Wheat
from Essex, Kent, Cambridgeshire, &c., was very small,
and the stands were scantily filled with samples of both
red and white. By land carriage very little grain
reached us. Although the attendance of both town
and country millers was by no means large,
and the weather unfavourable for effecting pur-
chases, the demand for most kinds of Wheat of home
produce, especially for selected qualities, was tolerably
steady, and a fair clearance was effected at prices about
equal to those obtained on Monday last. At the close of
business a fair clearance was effected. The quantity of
foreign Wheat brought forward was quite equal to the
wants of the dealers. Selected parcels of Riga, Ros-
tock, and Stettin moved off at fully last week's quota-
tions. In all other qualities comparatively little business
was transacted; yet the importers were firm, and would
not sell except at full prices. The actual quantity of
foreign Grain and Flour now 'on its way hither is small.
Notwithstanding the supply of Barley brought forward
was moderately good, that grain was very steady, and in
some instances rather more money was paid for fine
Chevalier qualities. The Oat samples of Malt moved
off freely, all other kinds slowly, at unaltered currencies.
Scarcely any Oats were in the market, nevertheless most
descriptions met a slow inquiry at previous rates.
The sale for Beans was very inactive. In prices, how-
ever, we have no change to notice. Maple Peas were in
good request, at an advance of fully is per quarter.
Other kinds were quite as dear. Indian Corn and Meal
were ♦ery dull. Fine Flour was in steady request,
otherwise the trade was heavy. In prices we have no
change to report.

Owing to the severity of the weather, scarcely any
stock has been landed at the outports. On the opening
of the navigation in Holland, very large importations
may be expected. There was an unusually small supply
of foreign stock on sale this morning, but its quality was
tolerably prime, especially the Beasts, most of which
were turned out last and in the previous week. We
regret to state that extensive losses of both Beasts and
Sheep have been reported at sea during the week, arising
from the boisterous and severe state of the weather.
This morning the Dundee steamer arrived with eighty
hoots, fifty of which were found smothered in the hold.
The Aberdeen boat had not been reported at the usual
hour. Owing, doubtless, to the activity in the Beef
trade on Monday last, and the consequent high prices
obtained by the salesmen, a great inducement was
held out to the graziers to forward more liberal supplies
of stock for to-day's market. As, however, the atmo-
sphere had become mild, the Beef trade was in a very
sluggish state, at a decline in the quotations of fully 2d
per Blbs. The highest general figure for Beasts did not
exceed 4s 8d per 81bs, and a total clearance was not
effected. The supply of Beasts, in the quality of which
a decided improvement was noticed, was a full average
one for the time of year. From the southern grazing
districts we received about 500 short horns; from the
eastern, western, and midland counties, 1,300 Herefords,
runts, Devons, Scots, short horns, and Irish Beasts;
from other parts of England, 900 of various breeds; and
from Scotland, 50 horned and polled Scots. The num-
ber of Sheep were considerably in excess of those exhi-
bited on this day se'nnight, and of improved quality.
The mildness of the weather operated against the
Mutton trade, which was decidedly heavy, at a fall in
value of quite 2d per 81bs. The top figure for the old
Downs was 5s per Sibs. Calves were in short supply and
heavy demand at 2d to 4d per Sibs less money. In
Pigs exceedingly little business was doing at barely
stationary prices.

NAWCIJLTZ AND I.II9II.DEBTBOLL.
Since our last report these markets have been heavily
supplied with each kind of meat slaughtered in London
and the provinces. Prime Beef and Veal, from their
scarcity, have commanded a ready sale, at, in some
instances, a trifle more money. Otherwise, the trade
has ruled firm, at fully previous quotations. Scarcely
any Foreign meat has been on offer.

BOROI7GII AND SPITALVIELDS.
The arrivals of Potatoes at the water side having been
very limited in the past week, the trade has ruled
brisk, at a further advance in the quotations of
from 55. to 10s. per ton. The supplies in dealers'
hands are comparatively small.—York Regent's, 130 s to
1605; Seotch Reds, 120 s to 130 s ; ditto, Buffs and
Blues, 1103 to 1208 ; Kent and Essex Regent's, 120 s

BOROUGU HOP MARIEET.
Ws have again to report a steady, though by no
means brisk, demand for the best New Hops, at fully
the late advance in the quotations. In most other kinds,
very little is doing, at unaltered figures. New Hops—
Sussex pockets, 21 15s to 3! 6s; Weald of Kent ditto,
a/ to 31 10s; Mid and East Kent ditto, 3/ 6s to 5/ 12s
