MARKET NEWS.-(T HIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.-(MONDAY.)
In the past week the arrivals of English Wheat up to our
market coastwise were on a limited scale, and of very
middling quality—the bulk of the samples proving greatly
out of condition. By land carriage very few samples came
to hand. Of Irish Oats the receipts were by no means large,
though they have proved fully adequate to meet the wants of
the dealers. The imports of foreign grain were, compara-
tively speaking, small. Fresh up, very little English Wheat
came to hand; hence the stands were scantily filled with
samples. Owing, however, to the rumours afloat
on the subject of a contemplated alteration in
the corn-lama, the Wheat trade was almost pa-
ralysed ; indeed, such was the heaviness in the
trade that some time elapsed before a single sale was con-
cluded We have, therefore, to quote a decline in the value
of the finest parcels of both red and white of 2s; in that of
the middling and inferior qualities of quite 3s per quarter, at
which a clearance was not effected, many of the buyers re-
fusing to purchase except at further reduced currencies. As
might, therefore, be expected, the market closed with even a
further downward movement in the quotations than we have
above reported. Of free foreign Wheat the show was by
no means large; but the before-mentioned causes
operated against sales, and the currencies suffered an
abatement of from is 10d in some inTtancesper quarter, and
at which amount of depression scarcely any sales were con-
cluded. For Wheat under lock, there was scarcely any in-
quiry; indeed, such was the heaviness in the trade that
prices must be considered almost nominal. The show of
English and Foreign Barley was moderately good, but of
very inferior quality. In some cases, selected parcels fit for
malting were taken at about late rates; but all other descrip-
tions declined in value is to 2s per quarter, and a large por-
tico of such was left over fcr Wednesday's market. We had on ly
a limited quantity of Malt on offer, yet the sale for that article
was very dull, at a decline of Is per quarter. Although the
show of Oats was by no means large, the Oat trade ruled ex-
tremely dill, and the currencies declined from is to 2s per
quarter. The almost only quality in demand was feed. The
supply of Beans was moderate, while the inquiry was very
dull, and the quotations fell from is to 2s per quarter. Peas
of all kinds, the show of which was large, moved off heavily,
at a reduction in value of from is to 2s per quarter. Flour
very dull, and the turn lower.

The past week's imports of live stock into London have
been again extensive, notwithstanding the present advanced
period of the year. We have received 34 Oxen, per the
John Bull and Caledonia steamers, from Hamburgh ; 77
Oxen, 101 Cows, 623 Sheep, and 2 Calves, per the Giraffe,
Attwood, and the Commercial packet, from Rotterdam ; and
113 Cows, together with 142 Sheep, by the Rapid, from
Harlingen. At the outports, 60 Sheep and 67 Beasts have
been imported from Hull. To-day we had on offer 150
Foreign Beasts and 350 Sheep, in, generally speaking, fair
condition. Nearly the whole found buyers, at full prices.
Fresh up to our market, the arrivals of Beasts from our own
grazing districts were seasonably large, but, for the most
part, of middlihg quality, if we except the droves from the
western counties. The attendance of both town and
country buyers being large, the Beef-trade ruled firm, at
prices fully equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight,
and, at which, a good clearance was effected. From
the northern counties we received about 2,000 Short-
horns ; from the eastern 300 Short-horns and Scots ; from the

western and midland counties, 700 Herefords, Devons, Runts,
&c. ; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ;
from Ireland, 120 Beasts ; and from Scotland, 100 Scots.
Although the numbers of Sheep were on the increase, the
Mutton trade was firm, at full prices—the best old Downs
readily producing 5s per 81bs. Very few Calves were on offer,
while the Veal trade was firma, at Friday's advances. In
Pigs a steady businesi was transacted, at full prices. The
great Christmas Market will be held on Monday next.

For thetime of year the arrivals of slaughtered meat up to
these markets from distant parts hare been very moderate ;
yet as the supplies killed in the metropolis have been some•
what on the increase, and of excellent quality, the show of
each kind has been good. The attendance of buyers having
proved somewhat larger, the general demand has ruled firm,
and prices have been well supported. Abeut 40 carcases of
foreign Beasts and 200 ditto of Sheep have been disposed of
at fair quotations.
