MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.-(MONDAY.)
Fresh up we received a very small supply of Wheat from
Essex, Kent, and other parts of Englrnd ; however, the
stands were scantily supplied with samples of both Red and
White. This falling off in the supply, together with an in-
creased number of buyers in attendance, caused the demand
for all descriptions of English W heat to rule active, at an ad-
vance in the currents obtained on Monday last of from is to
2s, in some instances 3s per quarter. The show of Fine
Foreign Wheat samples was by no means extensive.
Bonded Grain was more sought after, and several speculative
transactions took place in it. Very little Barley, either of
home or foreign produce, was on offer. The Malt trade was
somewhat firmer than last week. The best Potato Oats
sold freely at 6d per quarter more money. All other de-
scriptions were quite as dear. Beans and Peas were is per
quarter higher, owing to the short supplies on offer. Flour
was steady at full prices.

The number of foreign Beasts consisted of twenty-seven
head, the whole of which were in fair average condition;
while fresh up from our various grazing districts the Bullock
droves were somewhat on the increase compared with those
reported on this day se'nnight. The attendance of both
London and country dealers was somewhat extensive, yet
the Beef trade—arising chiefly from the Beasts coming to
hand in much better condition than for some weeks past—
was not quite so active as on Friday, though the cur-
rencies realised on Monday last were supported in
every instance, and a good clearance was effected
by the salesmen. We regret to observe that both
the Beasts and Sheep—more particularly the latter—were
suffering severely from the effects of the epidemic. On the
roads the losses continue severe. From Norfolk, Suffolk,
Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,700 short-horned
Scots and llomebreds ; from the northern counties 200 short •
horns; from the western and midland districts, 250 Devons,
Herefords, Runts, &c. ' • from other parts of England, 200 of
various kinds ; and from Scotland 250 horned and polled
Scots. The numbers of Sheep were seasonably extensive,
though there was nothing remarkable amongst them as to
quality. Prime old Downs moved off freely, at fully the late
advances in the quotations, they selling at from 4s 10d to 5s per
81bs ; but all other kinds met a dull inquiry, at barely late rates.
From the Isle of Wight 147 Lamb 3 came to hand per railway,
while the receipts from other quarters were liberal. Prime
Down qualities were in steady demand at full prices, but other
kinds of Lamb were rather inactive. We had a fair trade
for Veal, and last week's quotations were well supported.
More business was doing in Pigs, and the rates had an up-
ward tendency.

NEIXTGAT3EI AND LEA.DEN'NALL.
The arrivals of most kinds of Meat from distant parts for
our markets during the past week have not been to say
large, though they have proved seasonably extensive. With
London6slaughtered Meat we have been fairly supplied, yet
the general demand must be considered active, while pnces
have further advanced, to the extent of about 2d per 81bs for
Beef, Lamb, Veal, and the primest Pork, those of Mutton
ruling about stationary. About thirty carcases of Beasts,
and forty carcases of Sheep, received from Holland, have been
disposed of at improved quotations.

BOROUGN AND SPITALPIELD 3.
Although the arrivals of Potatoes since our last have been
only moderate, the supply offering has proved more than
adequate to meet the wants of the 'dealers. The demand
continues excessively dull at drooping figures.

BOROUGH HOP 111.&RKET.
The accounts from the plantations still continue favour-
able. The demand here, for all kinds of Hops, is very inactive,
at barely last week's quotations. A few parcels of American
Hops have sold, for exportation, at 60s per cwt.

WOOL MARKET.
In the last week about 1,200 packages of Wool have ar-
rived in the Port of London, chiefly from our colonies. The
public sales in progress since our last have been well at-
tended, while nearly the whole of the 12,000 packages offered
have found buyers, at, in some instances, a trifling improve-
ment in the quotations. There is a steady business doing in
the private contract market, and prices are well supported.
