MARKET NEWS

-(YESTERDAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of English Wheat for our market since Mon
day have been on a very moderate scale; hence the show of
samples of that description of grain here was by no means
extensive. However, as the attendance of buyers was com-
paratively small, the demand for it was in a sluggish state.
The finest parcels of both red and white mostly sold at full
rates of currency ; but all other kinds could not be sold ex-
cept at a slight depression in value. Very little fine
Foreign Wheat was on offer, yet it was fully
adequate to meet the wants of the buyers. In all
descriptions very little was doing, at barely late rates.
The demand for bonded Grain for export to Holland hav-
ing ceased, scarcely a transaction took place, and prices were
almost nominal. No aew English Barley at market. Grind-
ing and distilling sorts were without alteration. We had
only a retail trade for Malt; but, as very little was on offer,
late prices were maintained fur the best parcels. A full
average quantity of Oats has reached us this week from Ire-
land, yet the trade was steady, and the quotations were well
supported. In Beans, next to nothing was doing, and the
currencies had a downward tendency. Maple and Grey Peas
were dull and cheaper to sell. In Flour-no sales reported. •

SMITHFIELD.
In to-day's market the supply of Beasts was remarkably
good as to numbers, but very deficient in quality. Owing to
the unfavourable state of the weather for slaughtering, the
Beef trade was extremely dull, at barely stationary prices.
The supply of Foreign Stock consisted of only 50 Beasts and
20 Sheep. The numbers of Sheep were small, yet the sale
for them was heavy, at late rates. For Veal, the inquiry was
very inactive, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs.
In Pigs a fair business was transacted. Mulch Cows moved
off slowly, at from 151 to 191 each.

330ROUGS SOP MARKET.

During the present week several parcels of new Hops have
arrived hither from Kent and Sussex, yet the demand has
ruled firm, and prices are well supported. Picking is now
very general ; but the accounts relative to the produce are
by no means favourable. The duty is called 160,0001. to
165,0001. In yearling and old Hops comparatively little is
doing New Sussex pockets, 61 6s to 71; new Kent ditto,
6110 s to 7175.
