MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE - FRIDAY.
The returns for the present week show full average
arivals of English Wheat for our market, yet the num-
ber of samples of that grain on offer this morning was
by no means extensive. The attendance of buyers being
small, only the finest qualities were inquired for, and
commanded full prices, but all other kinds were a mere
drug, and a clearance was not effected. In free foreign
Wheat as well as Grain under lock, next to nothing was
doing at late rates. Barley and Malt were in moderate
supply and sluggish request at about Monday's quo-
tations. The arrivals of Irish Oats having been very ex-
tensive, the Oat trade was dull, at a decline of 6d per
quarter. Other grain as last advised.

SMITHFIELD.
The supply of Beasts in to day's market being con-
siderably more than adequate to meet the wants of the
buyers, we have to report an unusually heavy demand
for Beef, at prices barely equal to those obtained on
Monday. There were on offer 60 Oxen and
Cows, from Holland, and 100 Scots from Scot-
land, all in excellent condition. The numbers
of Sheep were seasonably extensive. Prime Downs sold
heavily, at Monday's currencies, but other breeds were
2d. per Blbs. lower. In Lambs, next to nothing was
doing, and the rates declined 2d. per 81bs. The Vtial
trade was excessively dull, at a depression of 4d. per
Blbs. In Pigs, next to nothing was doing. Mitch
Cows were held at from 171. to 191. each, including their
small calf

Per Bibs. to sink the offal.

at 36s per cwt for low brown.
MOLASSES.-The market for West India has a dull
appearance, holders are disposed to sell, but few pur-
chasers are to be met with, and 16s to 20s per cwt is the
value. In East India we have no transactions to report.

were sold at 17s. 6d, and 50 puns of St. Kitts at 17s

there are several orders, previous rates are offered, but

plied with Mocha Coffee, the quantity offered at public
sale amounting to 1,042 bales; but the whole was taken
in and withdrawn in consequence of the trade not
being prepared to pay former rates ; middling greenish

have refrained from offering any at public sale this
week; a fair demand has been experienced privately and
full rates are paid, Trinidad fetching 39s to 445, and

well supported for Foreign.

INDIGO.--An increased desire has been manifested on
the part of exporters to purchase East India, and several
parcels have been taken by them this week, and a fair
demand has been experienced for home consump-
tion ; the rates paid show an advance on those of the
last public sales of 2d to 4d per Ib, and the low and mid
