MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Very moderate supplies of English wheat have been re-
ceived np to our market this week, coastwise and by land
carriage. The show of samples in to-day's market was
small, and much out of condition, yet the demand was in
a very inactive state, at Monday's decline in the quotations.
Foreign wheat, the imports of which are only 660 quar-
ters, was very dull, and to have forced sales lower rates
must have been submitted to. In floating cargoes very
little was doing.
Barley moved off slowly, yet prices were supported.
We had a very dull inquiry for malt, on former terms.
Oats were quite as dear as on Monday, with a fair de-
mand, but beans, peas, and flour were very dull.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

The supply of beasts in to-day's market was limited, but
in fair average condition. All breeds were very dull in
sale, at Monday's currency. Although the numbers of
sheep were small the mutton trade ruled heavy, at barely
stationary prices. The few calves on offer moved off
briskly, at an improvement in value of 6d. per 81bs. The
best veal was worth 6s. per 81bs. Pigs were very dull, and
lower to purchase.
Milch cows moved off heavily, at from 131. 13s. to 181.
10s., including their small calf.
