CORN-EX CHANT 4E.
During last week the arri% Tills Of 11:nglish and Foreign
Wheat, including Irish Oats, as WC 11 as Beans, Peas, and
Flour, were on a very limite d se' ale, even for the time
of year ; but those of Englis h . Barley and Malt were
extensive. The general com lit ion of the samples of
Corn on show -to-day was by nc • means prime, yet it ex-
hibited an itrq movement over tdr at noticed on some pre-
vious market t lays. Fresh up . from Essex the supply of
Wheat by lant.l-carriage was, on the whole, good ; but
fel- Kent and St dfolk, scarcely an v parcels came to hand;
in cOnsequence of this comparat. ;ve deficiency in the
quant.;ty. on show, of many of the large 'millers being
short stock, and of the attendai ice of buyers being
numerous, the trade , with all descrii/tions of Wheat of
home growt.h was ac Live, at an improvetat'nt in the gene-
ral rates obtained or, this day se'nnight of lsper quarter,
while selected par, :els produced, in socte instances,
2s per quarter more money, at which rate
of improvement nearly the whole of the quan titles found
buyers. The show of free foreign samples of Win at was
not to say extensive. Holders were firm for adwanced
rates, and: in some ca, 'es obtained those to the extent of
Is. per quarter for tho finest kinds. For bonded corn
there was rather more inquiry, but the currencies un-
derwent no change in any instance. Notwithstanding
the supply of Barley was good, that; article met a fair
sale, the best malting kinds at an improvement of Is. per
quarter ; grinding and distilling sorts at fully last week's
prices. The Malt trade was steady, dthough the show
of samples was large, and previous ret, 3s were fully sup-
ported. In the best Beaus and Peas a good business was
doing, but other kinds hung en hand. Flour moved off
slowly at stationary- figures.

The supply of beasts otierinj was, on the whole,
scanty, but, comparat;vely speaking, of fair average
quality. Tilt weather being more ,cavourable to slaugg-
terin,„F the Beef trade was steady, and the prices ob-
tained on this day se'nnight,. which were 2d. higher than
on Friday last, were steadily supported, and at which a
clearance was speedily Inst.it'. Notwiths tending the
epidemic is still complained of in our grazing and flock
districts, very few instances of tbO disease wore apparent
here this morning ; indeed, the stock might be con-
sidered in good condition. The bullock droves, from
our northern grazing districts, amm-nted to ab out 1,400
short horns. From the western and m,;dland comities, we
received 600 Devons, runts, Herefords, • Durham's., Irish
beasts, &c. ; from other parts of Englantl, 200 of vtirinee
breeds,; from Scotland, 120 horned and polled Soots ;
and from Ireland, 80 beasts. The number of Sheep was
good, but by no means great ; yet the mutto.n trade was
heavy, and the quotations suffered an abaten tent of
quite 2d. per Blbs., 'the highest figure for the b est old
Downs not exceeding 4s. 6d. per Blbs. There were,
perhaps, more really good Downs on offer tht to We
have noticed for some weeks past, which may knartly
account for the depression in the price of that desert,Aim
of Sheep. Although the supply of Calves was sea ntY,
the Veal trade ruled dull, and the rates were quite 2d. Per,
Sibs. beneath those of Monday last. Prime sma "
Yorkers commanded a steady sale, at full prices ; but ilt
other kinds of Pigs, exceedingly little was doing. About
100 Pigs came to hand from Ireland. Although sons
imports of foreign cattle were expected about this time,
nothing whatever has been imported since our last, hens
1 we had none on sale to-day. .

BOROUGH AND SPITAZYIELDEL
Since our last report, about 2,900 tons of
potatoes
have reached the water-side from different quarters.
Prime qualities are in request, at full prices, but, in
other kinds, very little is doing.

BOROUGH 310 P DILAMICIIT.
An unusually small supply of Hops remains on offer.
This, together with the limited quantity produced 19.51
year, and the anxiety manifested by the dealers to in'
crease their stocks, has caused the demand for all de•
scriptions of new to rule finn, and in some instances
further advanced rates have been obtained by the
factors for Sussex and Weald of Kent, say of from 2s t 1

WOOL VIAREET.
The imports of wool in the last week have been on $
very moderate scale, they having amounted only t°
about 900 bales. In the absence of public sales, non
being expected to be held until quite the end of the 10°:
sent, or beginning of next month, the demand private'J
is steady, and prices are well supported.
TALLOW.
There is no new feature in this market. The price i°
steady, but the demand rules slack, with but little proo
pect of the present prices being supported. Tow°
Tallow is 41s to 41s 6d net cash.
