MARKET

HIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
The past week's arrivals of all kinds of Grain for our
market have, in consequence of the prevailing fogs
and contrary winds, been on a very limited scale, and,
comparatively speaking, of inferior quality, arising from
the damp state of the atmosphere. Fresh up, scarcely
any Wheat came to hand, coastwise or by land carriage
and sample ; the stands were, therefore, scantily sup-
plied with parcels of both rod and white. The attend-
ance of buyers being small, we have to report a some-
Nrhat sluggish inquiry for English Wheat. However, the
best parcels were mostly disposed of, at prices fully
equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight ; but, in
all other kinds, only a limited business was doing, at
barely late rates. At present a large fleet of vessels
13 coming up from almost every part, hence,
should the wind continue in its present quarter,
pod supplies may be expectad this week.
Very little foreign Wheat was brought forward, yet the
demand for thut article was by no means active. Al. though previous currencies were paid in every instance.
Bonded Grain was nominal in value. The show of Bar-
ley was small. The best malting parcels were in fair re-
quest at fully previous rates, but grinding and distilling
4!)rts were very dull. Notwithstanding we bad only a
limited quantity of Malt offering, that article was a slow
sale, at last Monday's quotations. Not a single cargo of
Oats came to hand last week from Ireland, but to-day
three vessels were entered at the Customs. From the
Want of supply, next to nothing was done in Oats, yet
the quotations were the same as those obtained on this
day se'nnight. Beans, Peas, and Flour were a slow
WC, yet prices were supported. Linseed Cakes sold
freely; but in all other kind of Seeds next to nothing was
oing,

SMITHFIELD.
As is almost invariably the case at this season of the
ear, the supply of Beasts brought forward here was
but limited, and of very inferior quality. The attend-
ance of-both town and country buyers beinf, small, the
demand for all kinds of Beef was in a very sluggish state
at a decline on last week's quotations of 2d per 81bs, the
highest figure realised for the few prime Scots offering
not being more than 4s 2d per Blbs, and at which a
clearance was not effected. Since this day se'nnight
the imports of foreign stock have been miserably
"lan, in consequence of the severity of the
• 'weather in Hol:and ; and very few Beasts or
Sheep are expected for our market for some time hence.
The bullock droves fresh up from Lincolnshire, Leices-
tershire, and Northamptonshire, were composed of about
tOO short-horns. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire, we received 400 Scots, &c. ; from the Wes-
tern and Midland districts, 600 Herefords, Devons,
Itunts, &c. ; from other parts of England, 400 of various
kinds; and from Scotland, 185 horned and polled Scots.
The numbers of Sheep were sufficiently numerous; the
Tory primest old Downs were in fair demand, at late
Fates, but the general trade was extremely dull, and it
has with great difficulty that last Monday's prices were
supported, a clearance of the supply not being effected.
potwithstanding the supply of Calves was small, the
41,nquirt' for them was inactive, at about stationary prices.
the
of 200 Pigs were on sale, from Ireland, while
`qe pork trade was in a sluggish state, at our quotations.

Since this day se'nnight the arrivals of country-

meat have been but moderate, while the
B"UPply of that killed in the metropolis has been small.
, till, however, 'our markets have been tolerably well
iiuPplied, the time of year considered. As is usually
Lie ease just after Christmas, the general demand is in-
-"iv; and prices are with difficulty supported.

Very limited supplies of Potatoes—or only about 500
tons—have been received during the past week; how-
ti-er, as the show has been miserably small prices have
Ned extremely irregular. Some few York Reds have
tlcl as high as 6L per too; while the quotations of other
`lnds have been from 75s to 1103 per ton. These rates
eolnhot, however, be supported, as a very large quantity
' potatoes is close at hand.

TALLOW.
toThis market is steady in price, and the demand
erahly good. There is now only one vessel to arrive
thtzn St. Petersburgh, with about 480 casks, and two or
th ea vessels from other places; but it is not anticipated

WOOL MARKET.
dem have to report a decided improvement in the

tttia°thipg qualities. The only alteration in the quo-

tlet", and Colonial Wools are in improved request, but

plkbtils are now off the coast from New Holland. Large
