TriARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
During last week the arrivals of English and Foreign
Wheat, including Irish Oats, as well as Beans, Peas, and
Flour, were on a very limited scale, even for the time
of year ; but those of English Barley and Malt were
extensive. The general condition of the samples of
Corn on show to-day was by no means prime, yet it ex-
hibited an improvement over that noticed on some pre-
vious market days. Fresh up from Essex the supply of
Wheat by land-carriage was, on the whole, good ; but
for Kent and Suffolk, scarcely any parcels came to hand;
in consequence of this comparative deficiency in the
quantity on show, of many of the large millers being
short of stock, and of the attendance of buyers being
numerous, the trade, with all descriptions of Wheat of
home growth was active, at an improvement in the gene-
ral rates obtained on this day se'nnight of ls per quarter,
while selected parcels produced, in' some instances,
2s per quarter more money, at which rate
of improvement nearly the whole of the quantities found
buyers. The show of free foreign samples of Wheat was
not to say extensive. Holders were firm for advanced
rates, and in some cases obtained those to the extent of
ls. per quarter for the 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 -ls. per
quarter ; grinding and distilling sorts at fully last week's
prices. The Malt trade was steady, although the show
of samples was large, and previous rates were fully sup-
ported. In the best Beans and Peas a good business was
doing, but other kinds hang on hand. Flour moved off
slowly at stationary figures.

The supply of beasts offering was, on the whole,
scanty, but, comparatively speaking, of fair average
quality. The weather being more favourable to slaugh-
tering 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 made. Notwithstanding the
epidemic is still complained of in our grazing and flock
districts, very few instances of the disease were apparent
here this morning ; indeed, the stock might be con-
sidered in good condition. The bullock droves, from
our northern grazing districts, amounted to about 1,400
short horns. From the western and midland counties, we
received 600 Devons, runts, Herefords, Durhams, Irish
beasts, &c. ; from other parts of England, 200 of various
breeds ; from Scotland, 120 horned and polled Scots ;
and from Ireland, 80 beasts. The number of Sheep was
good, but by no means great ; yet the mutton trade was
heavy, and the quotations suffered an abatement of
quite 2d. per 81bs., the highest figure for the best old
Downs not exceeding 4s. 6d. per 81bs. There were,
perhaps, shore really good Downs on offer than we
have noticed for some weeks past, which may partly
account for the depression in the price of that description
of Sheep. Although the supply of Calves was scanty,
the Veal trade ruled dull, and the rates were quite 2d. per
81bs. beneath those of Monday last. Prime small
Porkers commanded a steady sale, at full prices ; but in
other kinds of Pigs, exceedingly little was doing. About
100 Pigs came to hand from Ireland. Although some
imports of foreign cattle were expected about this time,
nothing whatever has been imported since our last, hence
we had none on sale to-day.

NEWGATE AND ;MADENNALL.

Another very large arrival of country-killed meat,
considering the time of year, has taken place since this
day se'nnight ; but its quality has been by no means
first rate, owing to the dampness of the atmosphere.
The supply of meat slaughtered in the metropolis has,
likewise, been good. Prime Beef and Mutton have com-
manded a steady demand, at mostly full prices ; but,
otherwise, the trade has ruled dull, and the quotations
have had a downward tendency.

other kinds, very little is doing.
BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
An unusually small supply of Hops remains on offer.
This, together with the limited quantity produced last
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 firm, and in some instances
further advanced rates have been obtained by the ,
fa,ctors for Sussex and Weald of Kent, say of from 28 to
3s per cwt. Weald of Kent pockets, 61 to 6/ 12s ; Mid

WOOL. MARKET.
The imports of wool in the last week have bean on 0
very moderate scale, they having amounted only to
about 900 bales. In the absence of public sales, none
being expected to be held until quite the end of the pre-
sent, or beginning of next month, the demand privately
is steady, and prices are well supported.
TALLOW.
There is no new feature in this market. The price
steady, but the demand rules slack, with but little pros-
pect of the present prices being supported. TOW°
Tallow is 41s to 4ls 6d net cash.

ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT J. ROLLS'S FAC"'
TORY, OLD KENT-ROAD.—Yesterday morning, about one
o'clock, a most destructive fire broke out in the store-rooms
belonging to Air. Josiah Rolls, floor-cloth and table-cover issF;
nufacturer, japanner, &c., near the canal bridgqiiin the 014
Kent-road. The readers of The Sun will rememTer that this
is the third fire that has happened upon these premises within
the last twelve months. store in which the present fire
originated was a very capacious one, possessing sufficient root
for drying at least sixty pieces of prepared goods of twelve yards
each in length. It is situate in a line with another store, and.
the printing. room is contiguous to it. The first appearance °t
a fire upon the premises was noticed by the private watchman'
who instantly ran into the road and gave the alarm. In a slwr,
time the engine from the Southwark-bridge-road station of the
brigade was upon the spot, closely followed by the Watling'
street engine, and those from the Waterloo-road station and the
'
West of England office. From the easily ignitable character of
the materials, the fire had, even in so short a time, obtained
sufficient hold of the japan store and its contents to warrant
the expectation that nothing it contained would be rescued'
The exertions of the firemen were consequently directed te'
the rescue of the buildings north of the stare, in which
were
sust:ended many pieces of table covers and other
stock, besides
a considerable quantity of japan mixture, oils, &c. Fortunately;
their efforts were successful, the fire being confined to the
building in which it originated. The rout fell in shortly afte,
the outbreak, and not a larticle of the property in the st°%
was saved. An abundance of water was obtained from a diva
close by the gable end of the premises, which being P°ure
with much judgment upon the burning mass, extinguished's
by two o'clock. The building and stock are not insured.
