MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
Coastwise, as well as by land carriage and sample,
the arrivals of all kinds of grain of home produce last
week were somewhat on the increase, and of fair
average quality. From Ireland and Scotland they were
chiefly confined to a few cargoes of Oats. The foreign
imports consisted of 5,039 quarters of Wheat, 2,369
ditto of Barley, 11,844 ditto of Oats, 6,747 ditto of
Beans, 952 ditto of Peas, 1,591 ditto of Tares, 1,734
ditto of Linseed, and 350 barrels of Flour. The duty
on foreign Wheat has advanced to 7s; on Barley, Oats,
Rye, Beans, and Peas it remains at 2s 6d per quarter.
From Essex, Kent, Cambridgeshire, &c., the
supply of Wheat fresh up this morning was
very limited, and the show of samples of
that grain was small. The number of both town and
country dealers in attendance being large, the demand
for all kinds of English Wheat was somewhat brisk, at
an advance in the quotations paid on Monday last of
from ls. to 2s. per quarter, and a clearance was speedily
effected. The market closed decidedly firm. The
quantity of Foreign Wheat on show was nut to say
heavy. Fine Dantzic, Hamburgh, and Riga parcels
commanded Is. per (puller more money, with a firm
inquiry. In the middling and inferior kinds, more busi-
ness was doing, at very full prices. Malting Barley
was in good request,and is. per quarter dearer. Grinding
and distilling sorts were tolerably firm, but not higher.
Notwithstanding the supply of Malt was somewhat on
the increase, that article was held firmly, and, in some
few instances, Chevalier qualities produced a trifle more
money. The secondary sorts were quite as dear. With
Oats we were much better supplied than for some time
past; nevertheless sales progretsed steadily, and very
full prices were obtained in every instance. The general
quality of the foreign imports has turned out good.
The show of Peas was not large; yet the demand for
most kinds was in a very sluggish state, at barely last
week's quotations. Very few English Beans were in
the market, but the supply of foreign was extensive.
The transactions were trifling, at barely late rates.
Indian Corn and Meal were quite as dear. The best
town-made Flour sold freely; and the finest American
was more inquired for at full prices. Inferior parcels
of the latter commanded very little attention.

Difference ..
The arrivals at Hull, and the other large outports, have
amounted to about 400 head of each kind of stock,
mostly from Holland. There were in the market, to-
day, about 120 Beasts, 130 Sheep, and 40 Calves, from
Holland, in full average condition. The demand was
tolerably steady, at Lull prices. From our own grazing
districts the arrivals of Beasts fresh up this morning
were seasonably good, and of excellent quality, particu-
larly as relates to the Scots and short horns from the
eastern counties. Although the attendance of both town
and country buyers was by no means large, the Beef
trade was steady, at fully, but at nothing quotable
beyond, the prices paid on this day se'nnight, at which,
a good clearance was effected. A few of the primest
Scots sold at 4s Bd, but the general top quotation for
Beef was 4s 6d per 81bs. By " drift" and railway we
received from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge-
shire, about 1,100 Scots and short horns ; from the
northern, western, and midland counties, 1,000 Here-
fords, runts, Devons, short horns, and Irish Beasts ;
from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds ;
and, from Scotland, 230 horned and polled Scots. The
numbers of Sheep were again very small, the time of
year considered ; but their quality was prime. The
best old Downs moved off readily, at fully last week's
prices, viz., trom 5s 4d to 5s 6d per Blbs ; but there was
not so brisk a demand for other breeds, yet their quota-
tions were well supported. About 800 shorn sheep were
in the market. Downs, out of the wool, produced from
4s 10d to 5s per 81b. For Calves, the supply of which
was moderately extensive, the demand was firm, and the
late advance in the quotations was paid in every in-
stance. Prime small Porkers sold readily, at full prices.
All other Pigs were a dull inquiry.

Since our last report the arrivals of country killed
meat for these markets have been very moderate, but of
fair average quality. The supplies on offer slaughtered
in the metropolis have been tolerably extensive, if we
except those of Mutton. Each kind of meat has ccm.
manded a very steady sale, and, in some instances, the
quotations have hwd. an upward tendency, while the
value of other qualities has been well supported. Only
about 200 carcasses of foreign meat have been offering.

BOROUGH HOP MARMOT.
Our market still continues in a very inactive state for
all kinds of Hops, especially for the middling and infe-
rior qualities. In prices, however, we have no change
to notice. New Hops :—Sussex Pockets, 21 18s to 3/ 45;
Weald of Kent ditto, 31 to 31 7s; Mid and East Kent
ditto, 31 51 to 518 s per cwt.
BOROUGH AND SPITILLPIELBS.
A full average supply of potatoes has arrived during
the past week, coastwise as well as by railway, and the
quantity on offer is more than adequate to meet the
wants of the dealers. Prices, therefore, have a down-
ward tendency. The imports from abroad havo been
rather heavy, ♦iz.: 200 tons from Rotterdam, 100 ditto
from Ghent, 110 ditto from Ostend, 60 ditto from Ham-
burgh, and 60 ditto from Leer.
WOOL.

Since Monday last the imports of wool into Lond,n
have consisted of 1,913 bales, from Sydney ; 174 ditto,
from Hamburgh ; 166 ditto, from the Cape ; 36 ditto,
from Monte Video ; and 449 ditto, from Algoa Bay.
On the whole the demand for most kinds of wool, by
private contract, is steady, and prices are well supported
iu every instance, althi,ugh the manufacturing accounts
are by no means satisfactory.
TALLOW.

Although only a moderate business is doing in
Tallow, last weeks's quotations are well supported.
About 1,200 casks have arrived from Sydney. P.Y.C.
on the spot is 50s to 50s 3d. per cwt. For forward de-
livery nest to nothing is doing. Town Tallow 49s to
50s net cash; rough tat 2s Old per 81bs.
