HIS DAY.)
!SUMMARY OF NEWS

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Although the arrivals of English Wheat up to our market
since Monday have been but moderate, the number of samples
of that grain on sale was rather extensive, and of very supe-
rior quality. The finest descriptions sold steadily, other kinds
slowly, at Monday's quotations. In Foreign Wheat (the
show of which was not large) very little was doing, at late
rates. Bonded Grain was a mere drug. The imports of
Foreign Barley this week have been small, while the Barley
trade was inactive, at unaltered figures. In Malt exceedingly
little was doing, 3et previous currencies were supported.
Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour were held firmly, at late rates.

Although our market was by no means heavily supplied
with Beasts—the first arrivals not exceeding 200 Scots,
chiefly from Aberdeen—the Beef trade was in a very slug-
gish state ; however, the best qualities of Beef sold at Mon-
day's quotations, but the inferior descriptions receded 2d per
81bs. The numbers of Sheep being large, the sale for them
was heavy, and the rates had a downward tendency. The
Lamb trade, owing to the large arrivals, was unusually dull,
at an abatement of from 2d to 4d per 81bs. Calves were in
large supply, and heavy inquiry, at a reduction of 2d per
81bs. Most kinds of Pigs went off on easier terms. Milch
Cows were a dull sale, at prices varying from 161 to 1915 s each.

COLONIAL.
SUGAR.—The business operations of the present week have
been materially interfered with by the Races, and on one or
two days scarcely anything has been done. The large sup-
plies expected also check purchases. The public sales in-
clude 120 hhds new Barbadoes at 66s to 66s 6d for fine bright
yellow, and at 62s to 62s 6d for mid. The private purchases
have been very small, say 400 hhds. We quote Jamaica fine
yellow 66s Gd to 68s Gd, and Demerara and Berbice fine 65s 6d
to 66s ad per cwt.
BENGAL-2,341 bags 56 chests only partly sold, and at 6d
decline ; fine white 64s to 64s 6d ; and mid yellow 57s to 58s.
Mauritius has been neglected.
FOREIGN.-1,249 boxes yellow Havannah were taken in
at 22s to 23s 6d for fine, and at 20s to 20s 6d for mid.
REFlNED.—Standard Lumps have been at 77s 6d to 7iis,
and dull.
COFFEE.—This article has also been dull, and where busi-
ness has been done, generally easier in price. At auction
12 casks 4 brls unclean Berbice were taken in at 70s for low
mid. Ceylon has been lower; 1,342 bags partly sold, ord to
good ord at 50s to 535, and some damaged at 42s to 50s.
There have been 285 bags African partly sold at 31s for bold
pale yellow at 8d duty. Mocha has been sold privately at
74s to 76s for mid yellow. Singapore and Java have been in
some request.
COCOA.-185 bales Trinidad were taken in at 44s to 44s 6d
per cwt., the market being drooping.
SPICES.—At auction there has been very little. done ; 226
bags of Bengal ginger were taken in at 20s to 255. Cinna-
mon sells better. Pepper is steady.
RICE.-2,997 bags Bengal sold at lOs to lls 6d for low to
good mid white. A fair private business has been done.
TEA.—A moderate business is doing privately, and holders
are inclined to ask steady rates, though the Inquiry is not
very brisk.
Tau.ow.—P.Y.C. is quiet at 40s to 40s 3d per cwt, on the
spot.

THE DERBY.
PIGEON EXPRESSING.

It is an old remark that private enterprise beats
public competition ; and this was signally verified on
the " Derby-day" by The Sun Express from Epsom
Downs. Other Expresses are generally now per-
formed by steam, on rail or water, or by horses; but
the Derby was done by pigeons, which neither stop
for water nor turnpikes, but shoot along their straight-
forward course, rejoicing in the blue serene ! It is
with pigeons as with horses—quick or indifferent,and
they have this peculiarity in common—that as a
horse will always come home faster than he goes out,
so will the pigeon ; and to increase this feeling in
the bird, advantage is sometimes taken of natural
causes. For instance, a pigeon that left young ones
at home will travel much faster than an indifferent
bird. If " money makes the mare to go," instinct is
sure to make the bird to fly—and fly with increasing
joy at its nearer approach to home ! It was so on the
Derby-day. Our private Extraordinary Express
beat our public one so much, that The Sun was de-
livered on 'Change and all over town before our public
one reached the office. We had thus the exclusive
pleasure, not only of " distancing" our rivals, but the
rather Irish satisfaction of beating ourselves !
