MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE-(FRIDAY.)
During the present week the receipts of English
Wheat up to our market coastwise have been on the
increase, but those by land carriage have been small.
To-day the show of samples of both red and white was
very moderate, whilst the demand for most descriptions
was steady, at prices about equal to those of Monday
last. Upwards of 20,000 quarters of foreign Wheat
have come to hand. Selected parcels were held at full
rates of currency, but the amount of business doing was
small. In the middling and inferior kinds very few sales
took place, at last week's currency. Barley, the supply
of which was small, moved off steadily at very full prices.
We had only a limited show of Malt, yet it was quite
equal to the demand. No change took place in prices.
A very large quantity of foreign Oats has arrived—up-
wards of 25,000 quarters. On the whole the Oat trade
ruled inactive at late figures. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn,
and Flour without alteration.

SMITHFIELD.
Oar market to-day was heavily supplied with Beasts,
the time of year considered, both as to number and
quality. For all breeds the demand ruled exceedingly
heavy, at a decline in the prices of Monday last of quite
2d per 81bs, and a total clearance was not effected. The
supply of Sheep was extensive, whilst the Mutton trade
was very inactive, at barely the late depression in the
quotations. In Lambs, the number of which was large,
only a limited business was transacted, but we have no
further decline to notice in their value. Calves were
very dull, and 2d per 81bs lower than on Monday. For
Pigs there was scarcely any inquiry. Milch Cows were
dull, at from 151 to 181 each, including their small Calf.
