MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
During the past week rather an extensive supply of
English Wheat came to hand from Lincolnshire, but
from Essex and Kent the receipts of that article of
grain were only to a moderate extent. Of other kinds
of grain the arrivals were by no means large. Fresh up
the supplies of Wheat coastwise, as well as by land car-
riage and sample, were only moderate, yet we had rather
an extensive show of parcels of both red and white, ow-
ing to which the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home
produce was in a very sluggish state. However, the
finest qualities were mostly disposed of at fully last
week's quotations, but all other kinds were a mere drug
at barely late rates. The general condition of the
samples was inferior. The imports of foreign Wheat
have been small, and we had very few samplei here
to-day. Generally speaking, holders were firm. The
finest qualities commanded a fair inquiry, at very full
prices. In other kinds, next to nothing was doing. A
few speculative sales took place in bonded Barley ; but
other Corn, under lock, was almost nominal in value.
The show of Barley was tolerably extensive. Fine
parcels sold at a decline of is ; other kinds, is to 2s per
quarter, and a large portion remained over for Wednes-
day. The Malt trade was very dull, and, in some
instances, the rates were somewhat easier. The show of
Oats was good, while all descriptions met a slow inquiry,
at barely last week's quotations. In Beans very little
was doing, at an abatement of Is per quarter. Gray
and Maple Peas were is per quarter cheaper. Flour,
and all other articles, were very dull.

SMITHFIELD.
Compared with that exhibited on many previous
Mondays the supplylof Beasts on sale was but moderate,
while its general quality was very inferior. Owing to
the favourable change in the weather, the increased at-
tendance of both town and country buyers, and to the
dead markets being well cleared of their last week's
arrivals of country-killed meat, the beef trade this morn-
ing;was active, at an advance in the currencies obtained
on this day se'nnight of quite 2d per Blbs. ; the best
Scots, &0., readily producing 4s 2d per 81bs., and at
which improvement a clearance was effected without
difficulty. During the week the imports of lire stock
at Hull have amounted to 96 Beasts and 40 Sheep,
by steamers from Rotterdam ; while in London
we have received seventy-two Oxen and Cows from
the above port, exclusive of 40 Sheep. At Southampton
three Oxen have come to hand from Vigo. Generally
speaking these imports have come in fair average condi-
tion. To-day we had only five Beasts and 20 Sheep
offering from Holland. The whole found buyers at a
trifle more money. The arrival of Beasts from Lincoln-
shire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to
about 1,400 Short Horns. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex
and Cambridgeshire, we have received 300 Scots, &c. ;
from the Western and Midland Counties, 600 Devons,
Herefords, Runts, Irish Beasts, &c. ; from other parts of
England, 500 of various breeds ; and from Scotland 200
Horned and Polled Scots—the remainder oft he supply
being derived from the neighbourhood of the metropolis.
The supply of Sheep was only moderate for the time of
year. but quite equal to meet the wants of the buyers. Prime
old Downs commanded a steady inquiry, at an advance
in the quotations of 2d per Sibs, the highest figure being
4s 2d ;:but in the value of other qualities no variation
was noticed. As is usually the case at this season, the
Veal trade was extremely inactive, at nominally low
figures. There was a steady business doing in the
primest Pigs ; but other qualities were a mere drug.

The arrivals of country-killed meat up to these markets
during the week have been seasonably extensive, but for
the most part of very middling quality. With meat
killed in the metropolis we have been well supplied, yet
the demand for the primest Beef and Mutton has ruled
active, at full prices. All other kinds of meat have sold
heavily, at, in some instances, reduced figures. A few
carcases of foreign Beasts and Sheep have sold at fair
quotations.

BOROTTGIE AND SPITAIMIELDS.
Rather an extensive supply of Potatoes has been re-
ceived at the water side since Monday last, yet very
little effect has been produced upon the demand, arising
from several of the large dealers being short of stock.
The trade, however, is by no means active.

The supply of Hops on offer here, since our last re-
rort, has been only to a moderate extent, yet, as the
declared duty has somewhat exceeded previous estimates,
the demand is inactive at our quotations.

In the past week the imports of Wool have been libe-
ral, they having consisted of 159 bales from Hamburgh,
288 ditto from Callao, 60 ditto from Rotterdam, 425
ditio from Taganrog, 289 ditto from Port Phillip, 500
ditto from Sydney, and 275 ditto from Odessa. Both
foreign and colonial qualities area dull sale, yet the
rates may be considered about stationary. In English,
next to nothing is doing, and prices are not maintained.
