MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
During the past week, up to Saturday evening, the ar-
rivals of English Wheat hays been reasonably good; but
those of barley, oats, helms and peas were small. Of foreign
wheat, barley, and oats, but more especially the two latter
articles, the receipts were rather extensive. Fresh up, only a
moderate supply of wheat of home produce came to hand
from Cambridge and Lincolnshire, while from other parts,
the receipts were small. The stands being very scantily
supplied with fine parcels of white, that description of pro-
duce was in steady request, at, in some few instances, an
advance in the curriences obtained on Monday of Is per
quarter; but that improvement was by no means general. In
all other qualities only a moderate business was doing, at late
rates. Selected parcels of fine Foreign 'W heat moved off freely, at
very full prices; but all other kinds were dull, though not
cheaper. Several parcels of bonded Wheat were disposed of
for shipment to Belgium and the north of France, at from 28s
to 30s per quarter. Notwithstanding the cold winds, the
Wheat plants are represented as progressing favourably. We
had only a moderate supply of Barley on "offer, yet the
Barley trade was in a sluggish state, at previous quotations.
In Malt very little was doing, with a fair average quantity
on offer. Oats were a steady inquiry, and last week's rates
were well supported. Beans were dull, but Peas were quite
as dear.. Flour and Seeds heavy, at late rates.

ti2YFITSPIELD,
During the past week, the imports of foreign stock for our
market have consisted of 87 Oxen and Cows, together with
151 Sheep, all from Rotterdam, from the Ocean, Batavier, and
Columbine steamers. At the outports, about 100 Oxen and
Cows have been received. As to the quality of the Beasts,
we may observe that it has proved tolerably good, but that
of the Sheep has been miserably deficient. W e had on offer
40 foreign Beasts, and 20 Sheep, the whole of which were
disposed of at fair quotations. The late advance in the value
of Mutton here, as well as in most other parts of England,
has, at length, had some influence upon that of
Beef ; since, although the Bullock supplies on
offer this morning were moderately extensive as
to numbers (yet it must be observed the condition of the
animals was by no means first rate), the Beef trade was
active, at an advance in the quotations obtained on Monday
last olfrom 2d to 4d per Sibs - the primest Scots and home-
breds readily producing 4s 6d per 81bs, and, at which, a
clearance was speedily effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk,
Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,500 Scots, home-
breds, and short-horns; while the droves from the northern
grazing districts comprised 250 short-horns, &c. ; from the
Western and Midland Counties, 200 Herefords, Devons,
Runts, &c. ; from other parts of England, 200 of various
kinds; and from Scotland, 330 horned and polled Scots.
Although the numbers of Sheep were on the increase, the
primest Old Downs moved off steadily at from 4s 10d to 5s
per Elbs, but all other breeds were a slow inquiry, and
previous rates were not supported in every instance. From
the Isle of Wight 240 Lambs came fresh to hand, while the
receipts from other quarters were tolerably good. Prime
qualities sold freely, at extreme rates; and great difficulty
was experienced in effecting sales of other kinds. In Calves
a fair amount of business was doing at Friday's improved
currencies. The Pork trade was rather dull, yet previous
rates were supported.

PirEWGILTIE AND 31EADENE.113.1.
As might be expected, arising from the enhanced cur-
rencies lately ruling here, the arrivals of country-slaughtered
Beef and Mutton, but more particularly those of the latter,
have been considerably on the increase since this day a'nnight ;
while the general quality of the receipts has been good.
Those of Lamb (600 carcases) and Pork have proved only
moderate. With Meat killed in the metropolis we have
been fairly supplied, yet the demand for Beef and Mutton has
continued somewhat active, at, in some instances, further
improved quotations. In Lamb and Pork very little doing,
on somewhet easier terms. Several carcases of foreign Beasts
have found buyers, at prices varying from 3s to 3s 4d
per 8 lbs.

BOROUGH AND ErprrAmrizzw.
The supplies of Potatoes still continuing large, the demand
for them is in a very depressed state, and prices have a down-
ward tendency. Such is the inactivity in the trade that
many of our quotations are nominal. York reds, 35s to 70s;
Perth ditto, 358 to 40s ; Early Devons, 30s to 40s; Cornwall
ditto, 30s to 40e; Jersey Blues, 303 to 35; Dutch Whites,
30s; Kent and Essex Kidneys, 65s to 70s; Wisbeach ditto,
,55s to 60s ; Ditto Blues,-35s to 455; Ditto Whites, 35s to
40s ; Ditto Regents, 55s tu 60s; Guernsey Blues, 50s to 555;
Prince Regents (York), 55s to 655; Shaws ditto, 60s to 70s.

BOROUGH HOP I•4I37ELICET.
Owing to the prevailing cold winds, the Hop plant is pro-
gressing slowly. In other respects our accounts from the
plantations are satisfactory. The show of samples is very
small, yet the demand is extremely inactive, at barely sta-
tionary prices.—Sussex pockets, 71 to 813 s; Wealds, 71 8s
to Si 10s; Mid Kents, 71 7s to 8115 s; East Kent, 9/ 9s to
111; Choice ditto, 11/ lls to 131; Mid Kent bags, 7/15s to
8115 s ; East Kent ditto, 101 lOs to 12/.

WOOL IVLARKET.
At the public sales of Wool, in progress during the week,
there has been a full average number of buyers in attendance ;
while the biddings have proved spirited, at prices about
equal to those paid at the previous auctions. The imports
have not exceeded 700 packages. In the private markets a
steady business is doing in nearly every description of both
English and Foreign Wools, and prices are supported in every
instance.

TALLOW
The price of Tallow is firm, and a very fair business is
clang, both on the spot and for the last three months. Town
'fallow is scarce, and may be quoted at 399 net cash. It is
reported that the quantity of Tallow to be shipped from St.
Petersburgh this year is likely to be ver3 limited.

NATIONAL ANTI-CORN-LAW
LEAGUE BAZAAR.—(THIS DAY.)
The price of admittance to the Bazaar this morning was
one shilling, and as might have been expected it was
crowded to excess. Very extensive sales seem to have
taken place within the last three or four days, for on many.
of the stalls there is not a single article remaining of
those which were exhibited last week—their places
however, have been supplied by others. In the
lobby of the dress-boxes to-day there was a valuable
collection of stuffed birds and animals, well worthy of at-
tention. The monster cake, which was the great attraction
in the refreshment-room, has disappeared. Its place, how-
ever, is supplied by a monster loaf, aptly labell€d, " The
forbidden fruit of the Garden of England." In the box
lobby of the upper boxes, is a cabinet, which is a wonderful
specimen of the ingenuity of the British artisan.
From its appearance it might be taken for one of the richly-
carved, highly-polished oak cabinets of the Tudor era. It
is, however, a production of our own times, and is valuable
not only as a specimen of British ingenuity, but as a me-
mento of one of those few-gifted men to whom it is
vouchsafed by Providence to stamp his own cha-
racter on the age in which he flourishes to become
a leader—a trusted leader of thotsands of his fellow-men.
It is formed of the print blocks which have been used in the
calico print works of Mr. Cobden. It is marked at 121. 12s.
If the League had marked it at three times that
sum we doubt not but that they would readily have
obtained it. Perhaps the most interesting part of the exhi-
bition is the model and machine-room in the upper boxes sa-
loon. Here we have models of steam-engines, power-looms,
blonde making machines, card-making machines, coining
machines, stocking weaving machines—all at work; and just
at the door of entrance is a potter fashioning earthenware
of the most elegant ihapes out of plaster clay on his potter's
wheel. This is, perhaps, the most interesting, certainly the
most instructive portion of the exhibition.
