MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHAN GE-FRIDAY.
The present week's arrival of English Wheat for our
market, coastwise, has been on the increase; the total
quantity being nearly 3,000 quarters, almost wholly from
Essex and Kent. By land carriage the receipts are
small, but of full average quality. 'To•day, the show of
samp!ei of both red and white was trifling; still, how-
ever, the demand for all kinds of English Wheat, arising
chiefly from the large quantities of French Flour offer-
ing, was exceedingly heavy, and Monday's prices were
not supported. Upwards of 6,000 quarters of foreign
Wheat Pave come in this week. Imo qualities were
mostly held at full rates of currency, but the middling
and inferior kinds were Is. per quarter lower to pur-
chase. The supply of both English and foreign Barley
was ott the increase. Grinding, distilling, and malting
parcels were all somewhat cheaper. Malt came freely
to hand. The transactions were wholly in retail, at
about stationary prices. Oats, Beans, Peas, Indian
Corn, and Flour had a downward tendency.

The supply of Beasts on offer here to-day was but
moderate, buth as to number and quality. As the at-
tendance of buyers was small, the Beef trade ruled
heavy, at prices barely equal to those obtained on Mon-
day, the primest Scots selling with difficulty at 3s 6d
per 81bs, and a total clearance was not effected. The
numbers of Sheep were very moderate ; nevertheless,
the demand for that description of stock was extremely
inactive, 'at barely last week's quotations. The top
figure for the best old Downs, in the wool, was 4s 4d
per 81bs. Lambs were in fair average supply and slug-
gish request, at from 5s to 6s per 81bs. From the Isle
of Wight 0 head reached us. The Veal trade was
again depressed, arising from the large number of Calves
on sale. The quotations were barely supported. In
Pigs next to nothing was doing. Mitch Cows sold
heavily, at from 141 to 181 each, including their small
calf.
