MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Since Saturday last the arrivals of English Wheat for our
market coastwise, as well as by land-carriage and sample,
have been on a somewhat extensive scale for the time of year
—they having amounted to nearly 10,000 quarters. Fresh up
to day, only a moderate quantity of that description of grain
came to hand, vet the number of samples on offer was large.
From nearly all parts of the, country, our reports, respect,.
rug the progress of harvest work, are more favourable, owing
to which, and the settled appearance of the weather, to-day,
there was little or no disposition evinced to purchase :
hence, the demand was in a sluggish state ; yet the
factors would not sell, except at prices equal to those
paid on Monday, and a clearance was not effected.
There was no New Wheat on sale, but several parcels are
expected from Essex on Monday next. The imports of
Foreign Wheat have been only moderate, viz , 10,610 quar-
ters ; but several vessels are reported to have passe i the
Sound, grain-laden, for England. Although the quantity
_brought forward was not to say large, the millers purchased
with extreme caution, and we have no alteration to notice
in value. The duty declined yesterday to 18s. per quarter.
In Corn, under lock, scarcely any sales took place, the spe-
culators refusing to conclude transactions during the pre-
sent uncertain state of things. Several large parcels of fo-
reign Barley have been lately released for home consumption.
Scarcely any English Barley was on show, but:that of Foreign
was somewhat on the increase. For nearly every kind,
especially for grinding parcels, the sale was steady, and pre-
vious rates were readily supported. The receipts of Malt are
rather on the increase, upwards of 4,000 quarters having
been received this week. We had a fair retail demand for
fine season made at fully late prices; other kinds were quite
as dear. From Ireland, as well as from foreign ports, rather
a large quantity of Oats has reached us this week. This had
a depressing influence upon the trade, and prices were barely
supported. Beans, Peas, and Flour were a slow inquiry, at
late rates. The parcels of New Seeds on show were deficient
in quality ; hence higher rates were demanded for select qua-
lities. In Old Seeds next to nothing was doing.

The supply of Beasts was, the time of year considered,
moderately extensive, though the quality was by no means
first rate. Generally speaking, the Beef trade was exceed-
ingly heavy, at, is some instances, a slight depression in the
quotations. From Holland we received 40 Oxen and Cows ;
and from Scotland 240 Scots in good condition. The num-
bers of Sheep were by no means large, yet the sale for them
was heavy, and the inferior kinds declined 2d per 81b,=.
Lambs were a mere drug, on easier terms. The Veal trade
was heavy, at a decline of 2d per Blbs. Pigs moved off
freely, at full prices. Mitch Cows sold at from 16/ to 191
each, including their small Calf.
