MAREET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Daring the present week the arrivals of English Meat
up to our market coastwise, have amounted to 1,950
quarters. Those by land carriage have been on a very
limited scale. To-day the show of samples was trifling,
nevertheless, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home
produce was in a very inactive state, at prices barely
equal to those obtained on Monday. The imports of
foreign Wheat have been confined to 3,420 quarters. Se-
lected qualities were mostly held at previous rates, at
which, however, only a limited business was doing.
Damp and inferior parcels were almost nominal. The
Barley trade, owing to the increasing supplies, ruled
heavy, and, in some instances, the quotations had a.
downward tendency. We had a fair quantity of Malt ont
show. All descriptions moved off heavily at barely eta-,
tionary prices. The best parcels of Oats sold at about
previous rates. In other kinds next to nothing was
doing. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn and Flour commanded
scarcely any attention.

For the time of year the supply of Beasts on sale in to—
day's market was tolerably good, both as to number and'.
quality. Owing to the small number of buyers in at-•
tendance, the Beef trade ruled very inactive at prices
barely equal to those, obtained on Monday., sad a total
clearance was not effected. With Sheep we were scan-
tily supplied; nevertheless, the demand for that descrip-
tion of stock was far from brisk, at about stationary fi-
gures, the best old Downs in the wool tolling at 4s 4d
per Sibs. There was a decided improvement in the
Lamb trade, but we have no advance to notice in value.
Calves were in fall average supply and moderate request
at late rates. In L'ig,t very little was doing at our quo-
tations. Mulch Cows sold heavily at from 141 to Bleach,
including their small calf.

The quantity of Hops, both new and ola, on sale. here
is small, yet the demand for all descriptions is ins 'very
inactive state, and last we -k s prices are with difficulty
supported. A few parcels have come in from the conti-
