MARKET NE W S.-(TIIIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
r the time of year, the receipts of English Wheat up to
of f Market in the past week have been moderately good, and
15, ah average quality. Of English Barley, Malt, Oats, and
t as, the arrivals have proved small, but the imports of
little Barley and Oats have been liberal. Fresh up, very
tha'e English Wheat cause to hand; hence the quantity of
t
v description of produce offering was dull. Still, how-
as the attendance of both town
and country buyers was
demand for it was in a very sluggish state, at
about equal to those obtained on this day se, nni.ght,
izel at which a clearance was with difficulty effected. From
titiparters the accounts respecting the appearance
doube Y°llog wheat plants are very favourable, and which, no
eo,nt, had some influence upon the Wheat trade here te-day.
the I.atively speaking, very little Wheat was on offer, yet
s,,
with it was in a very sluggish state, at about lastmost quotations. Bonded grain was a mere drug, and al-
e4s,!%nominal in value. Most of the large maltsters being
to leave off work, we had a very dull inquiry for all
kiecoripittions of Barley, and previous quotations were with
/taJ annorted. The Malt trade, though the supply
sales Kiel!, ruled extremely dull, and in some instances where
Oats Wthere pressed, the rates had a downward tendency.
ugh in short supply, were not so active as last
and nevertheless, prices were mostly supported. Beans

BOROUGH AND SPITAMPIELDO
The supplies of Potatoes continuing large, the demand is
extremely dull, and the inferior qualities are selling on some-
what easier terms. About 100 tons have been received from
llolland, but they are only worth about 35s per ton.
BOROUGH HOP IMELWItZT.
Since our last report the demand for all kinds of Hops has
been in a very sluggish state, yet we can notice no material
variation in prices. The accounts from the plantations state
that the plant has been already attacked with flea.
TALLOW
There is but little alteration in this market ; since our last
a fair business has been doing for the time of year, and prices
are fully supported, both on the spot and for the autumn.
Town Tallow is not abundant ; the price is 38s to 395. 6d_nett
