MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat for our
market have been on a very limited scale, hence the
show of samples of that grain here was small. The de-
mand ruled rather active, at full prices. In Foreign
Wheat only a moderate business was doing, yet previous
rates were supported The show of Barley being small,
and the malsters mostly in full work, the sale for the
finest qualities was brisk, at very full quotations. In
other kinds comparatively little was doing. The best
Malt was quite as dear, while all other articles of grain
supported their previous value.

SMITHFIELD.
Our market was, on the whole, fairly supplied with
Beasts as to numbers, but their general quality was very
inferior. The primest Scots, &c., commanded a steady
sale, at full prices, but otherwise the Beef trade was
dull. We had on show 72 Oxen and Cows from Rotter-
dam, and 120 Scots from Aberdeen. The numbers of
Sheep being small, the Mutton trade was active, and
the quotations had in some instances an . upward ten-
dency. In Calves a good business was doing, at an im-
provement of 2d per Slbs. The Pork trade was firm, at
fully Monday's prices. Milch Cows sold slowly at from
161 to 181 10s each.
