MARKET NE W,,..-(YESTERDAY.)

CORN-EXCIIANGE

Compared with those of the preceding week, the arrivals of Eng-
lish Wheat up to our market since Monday have been tolerably good,
though by no means large. The weather being fine for harvest work
in the north, and the stands better filled than for some time past, the
demand to-day for Wheat of home produce was in a sluggish state.
The finest qualities of both Red and White, however, sold at the late
advance in the quotations; but the middling and inferior kinds must
be considered Is per quarter cheaper, and a clearance was not effected.
Of fine foreign Wheat the show was small, nevertheless, the sale for
it was heavy, at an abatement of Is per quarter. The inquiry for
Wheat under lock w. s trifling, hence holders were more moderate in
their demands. No new Barley at Market. Grinding sorts were in
request at full prices, but other kinds hung on hand. The demand
for Malt was not so active as on Monday, but we can notice no alte-
ration in value. Nearly 30,000 quarters of foreign Oats having come
to hand, the Oat trade was dull, and the inferior parcels had a down-
ward tendency. Beans and Peas supported Monday's quotations, but
Flour hung on hand.

SMITHFIELD.

The supply of Beasts being seasonably large, and the attendance of
buyers small, the Beef trade was in a very sluggish state, and ➢fon-
day's prices were with difficulty supported. From Holland and Ger-
many we received 110 Oxen and Cows, 400 Sheep, and 13 Calves.
Sheep—the number of which was small—sold briskly, and previous
rates were readily maintained. In Lambs a steady business was
transacted, at full prices. Calves moved off slowly, and the quota-
tions had in some instances a downward tendency. Pigs were quite
as dear. Mitch Cows were selling at from 161 to 191 each. Suckling
Calves. 18s to 30s; and Quarter old Store Pigs, 16s to 21s each.
Beasts, 713 ; Cows, 98 ; Sheep and Lambs, 6,620 ; Calves, 342;
Pigs, 291.
NEVI/GATE AND LEADENNALT.,

There was rather more doing here, and prices were well supported.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.

Since picking has been commenced, about 2,000 pockets of New
Hops have arrived here from Kent and Sussex in good condition.
Nearly the whole have found buyers, at itom 6110 s to 71 for Weald of
Kents, and 616 s to 6/ 14s for Sussex. In Yearlings a steady business
is doing, at 11111 prices. The duty is called 165,0001 to 170,0001.

COLONIAL.
Suoart.—The demand has rather fallen off, owing to the
very large arrivals. The fact is, however, that the contrary
winds have for a long time kept out supplies, and now they
are all coming in tol.ether. West India sorts are rather cheap
this week ; 100 hhds. Barbadoes went at 54s to 55s 6d for
fine yellow, and at 49s to sls for mid. East India Mauritius
has been dull of sale, and rather lower, and Bengal does not
support previous rates, being at present in but limited
demand.

REFlNED.—Standard lumps have been 67eto 68s per cwt.,
and brown grocery lumps 66s to 66s 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.—These samples have been quite neglected.

COFFEE.—British Plantation sorts are held for about pre-
vious rates, but there is very little doing. Low and mid
sell best; ord to fine fine ord Jamaica has been taken at
72s to 75s per cwt. Ceylon has been dull of sale at 47s to
49s for low to good ord pale, but at auction 635 bags were
taken in at 47s for low good ord. Mocha has been in
same demand, but the supply is very limited. Fair and mid
clean garbled has been sold at 62s to 66s per cwt. Java, and
foreign sorts generally, have been dull.
Cocoa.—Trinidad has been taken in at 42s 6d to:44s 6d
per cwt.

full prices have been obtained. Low to fine is 3d to 3%d per
lb. A good demand has been experienced privately for Black
Pepper. Sumatra has realised 2%d to 2',Vsd, and Malabar
31Ald to 3%d. 2,512 bags Penang partly sold at 2.14 d to 3d
for damaged. Cassia Lignea has been quiet.
Rum.—There is not much doing.
. .

SALTPETRE.—There, is a full supply of this article, and
prices, therefore, are rather heavy.
RICE.— Less animation has prevailed in the demand for
this article, and consequently prices are barely so high.
Bengal, low to fine white, has realised 19s to 23s per cwt.
Abroad the quotations keep up.
TALLOW.—There has been a firm market for P.Y.C., which
is in good demand at 41s 3d to 41s 6d per cwt on the spot
for new, and at 40s 9d to 41s for old. Town has been
41s 6d to 42s per cwt nett.
TEA.—The market has been steady, but there is not an
extensive business doing.

SUGAR.—To-day all descriptions of West India Musco-
vado Sugar were in excellent request for the use of grocers
and refiners.; there was more doing for the ontports, and in
consequence of the firmness of the merchants, buyers were
compelled to pay stiffer rates, so that prices are now the same
as they were on Friday. last.
REFINED.—To •day refined goods were only in brisk re-
quest by the home trade, brown Lumps at 64s 6d to 65s 6d,

offered at the reduced rates of 40s to 40s 6d per cwt for first
sorts.

per cwt.

further advance, but the demand has been excellent for
all descriptions. In Pouchong there has been a good deal
doing at 5d to 10d, according to quality, but clean sorts from
6d to 9d per lb are the most in esteem. For Twankay the
demand is increasing, and prices are rising. For Hyson no
further improvement in prices has occurred. Young Hyson
has been sold to a large extent, at 9d to is 10d, and better
sorts at 2s to 3s Bd. Of Hyson, some parcels sold at late

business, and 250 bags at public sale were taken in at 21s for
good middling good colour, being above the value.

all sorts of Rice ; 19s to 20s 6d have been accepted privately
