MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY

CORN EXCHANGE-(FRIDAY.)
During the present week only a moderate supply of English
Wheat - 2,950 quarters has arrived for our market coast-
wise. By land-carriage the receipts have been limited, but
in good condition. To-day the show of samples of both red
and wbite was small; whilst the demand fur all descriptions,
althou,:h the attendance of town and country buyers was by
no means extensive, ruled steady, and a good clearance was
effected at Monday's prices. Only 7,580 quarters of foreign
Wheat have come fresh to hand, and a portion has gone
direct into the hands of the millers. Good dry quantities,
fit for immediate use, moved off freely, at fully last
week's currency. In the middling and inferior kinds
we have very few sales to report. Only 230
quarters of English Barley have reached us; but the
supply of foreign has amounted to 9,569 quarters. On
the whole the trade was firm at full quotations. We had
only a limited inquiry for Malt, the receipts of which were
nearly 5,000 quarters at late figures. The supply of Oats
being small, the trade was firm, and good heavy qualities
were rather (!earer. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn and Flour
were in moderate request at unaltered prices.

SMITHFIELD.
Notwithstanding that the supply of Beasts in to-day's
market was but moderate, the time of year considered, the
Beef trade was in a very inactive state, at prices barely equal
to those obtained on Monday, and a total clearance was not
effected. The numbers of Sheep were tolerabl y extensive ;
nevertheless the sale for them ruled steady, at full rates of
currency, the primest old Downs selling at 4s per 81bs. With
Lambs we were heavily supplied, upwards of 600 having
come to hand from the Isle of Wight; hence the trade ruled
dull at a decline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. Calves
met a very dull sale, and late rates were with difficulty sup-
ported. In Pigs next to nothing was doing. Milch Cows
were selling at from 141 to 1815 s each, icluding their small

the offal.
