MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

We were well supplied with foreign wheat, fresh as well
as ex-granary. White samples moved off slowly, on former
terms; but inferior red qualities were lower to purchase,
by is per qr.
The supply of foreign barley was extensive, and most
kinds sold slowly, at is to quite 2s per qr less money.
We had a dull inquiry for malt, and last week's prices
were with difficulty supported.
There was only a limited supply of oats in the market,
and the oat trade ruled steady, at fully last week's im-
provement in value.
Beans were in moderate supply and fair request, at full
prices.

Peas supported last week's currency ; but the demand
was far from active.
Flour sold slowly, but we have no change to notice in
its value.

The show of each kind of foreign stock in to•day's mar-
ket was very moderate.
About average supplies of beasts were received up to our
market this morning from our own grazing districts, as
well as from Scotland, for the time of year ; but, compared
with Monday last, their condition was inferior. Notwith-
standing that the weather has become colder, the demand
for all breeds of beasts was in a sluggish state, at last
week's decline in value. The top figure for Scots was
4s 6d per Sibs.
Prom Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Oawbridgeshire, we
received 1,860 Scots and short horns ; from Lincolnshire
and the Midland counties, 800 short horns ; from ether
parts of England, 400 various breeds; from Scotland, 700
Scots , • and from Ireland 400 oxen.

We were again very moderately supplied with sheep,
the general quality of which was by no means first-rate.
Nearly all breeds met a slow inquiry; but we have no
change to notice hi prices. The best old Downs sold at
5s 41 per Sibs. From Ireland, COO sheep came fresh up to
hand.

Calves, the supply of which was lirsited, sold steadily,
at Friday's improvement in value, of 4d per tabs. The
beet quality of veal realised 5s 4d per 81hi.
The pork trade ruled heavy, and, in some instances,
prices had a down ward tendency.

supported, BOROUGH HOP.
The late improvement in the value of new hops is freely
steady demand. All other hops are tolerably firm. Last
week's imports amounted to 76 bales from Hambro', and
65 from Rotterdam,
and, in Borne instances, rather exceeded, with a
New Mid and East Kent pockets 75s to 116 s ; Weald of
Kent ditto, 6is to 84s ; Sussex ditto, 57s to 725; Year-
lings and Olds, 214 to 40s per cwt.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Since Monday last only moderate supplies of English
and Scotch potatoes have come to hand. The imports have
been composed of 175 tons from Antwerp, 4 from Bremen,
300 tons from Roiten 90 tons from Groningen, 200 tone
from Dunkirk, 203 gags from Paris, and 130 tons from
Hambro% The trade dill continues inactive, as follows :
York regentc,
---s to 1603 per ton ; Essex and Kent,
120 s to 1403 ; Scotch, 80s to 1203 • ditto cups, 75a to 85s ;
middlings, 503 to 60a; Lincoln's, 110 s to 120 s; blues,
55. to 65s ; foreign, 551 to 65g.

WOOL.
We have to report an improved inquiry for colonial
wool ; but the business doing is limited. Foreign qualities
rule heavy, but not cheaper. English wools are some-
what firmer. In the present state of the market, how-
ever, it is difficult to quote prices. Last week's
amounted to 357 bales from New York, and I, /01 from
Taganrog. imports

SEEDS.
Canary-seed has been in steady reauest, at fall prices.
Trefoil and Canary-seed are quite as dear as last week.
Most other seeds, as well as cakes, are held for extreme
rates.

TALLOW.
The demand for most kinds of tallow. is in a sluggish
state, and prices are a shade lower than on Monday last.
p.y.c., on the spot, is selling at 54s per cwt. Town
Tallow 53s 6d nett cash. Rough fat, 2s lid per 8113 s.

CORN EXCHANGE.
Nearly the whole of the country markets held on Satur-
day were but moderately supplied with wheat, yet the
demand for most kinds ruled ♦ery inactive, and prices
give way is to 2s per quarter. Fine barley was in re
quest, at full quotations, and oats were rather dearer.
In other produce very little was doing.
On the continent very little change has taken place in
the value of either grain or flour. In the United States
the export demand for wheat and flour has continued
heavy.

Only moderate supplies of English produce were re-
ceived up to our market last week. The imports from
abroad were liberal, viz., 19,197 quarters of wheat, 17,883
barley, 16,180 oats, 4,065 beans, 8 peas, 325 linseed, 2,63 J
rapeseed, 300 sundry seeds, 2,917 sacks and 9,201 barrels
of flour.

The quantity of wheat received fresh up, to-day, coast-
wise and by land carriage, from Essex, was very limited.
Compared with Monday last, the receipts from Kent were
rather on the increase. The attendance of both town and
country millers was very moderate, and the demand for
all kinds was in a sluggish state. Most of the finest wheats
sold at prices equal to this day week ; but low and mid-
dling samples moved off slowly, at less money, viz., is to
23 per quarter.
