MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—FRIDAY.
Since Monday last the arrivals of English Wheat
coastwise have been but moderate—viz. 1,650 'quarters,
almost wholly horn Essex and Kent. By land carriage
a very small supply has reached as. To-day the show
of samples was limited. Fine parcels sold at full prices,
but the middling and inferior kinds moved off slowly at
b.rely late rates. Nearly 5,000 quarters of Foreign
Wheat have cone to hand this week. Although several
large parcels have changed bands, the trade, owing to
the large quantity brought forward, was decidedly in-
acti•re ; but w© nave no decline to notice in value.
Malting Barley supported last week's figures. Grind-
ing and distilling sorts were dull in the extreme.
We had a very dull inquiry for malt, and late rates
were with difficulty supported. good oonnd Pate wore

Notwithstanding that the supplyai
of Beasts in to-day's
Inarltet was very moderate, the time of year considered,
the Beef-trade, owing to the mildness of the weather,
and the large supplies of Meat on offer iu Newgate and
Leadenhall, ruled excessively heavy, at, in some in-
lances, a further decline in the quotations of 2d per
816 s. The fresh arrivals were confined to 180 Scots
from Scotland. The numbers of Sheep were small, yet
th? demand for all breeds was dull in the extreme, and
