MARKET .NE WS.-(TlilS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-(MONDAY.)
The past week's arrivals of English Grain and Flour were
on a very moderate scale, while those from Scotland were
extremely limited. Of Irish and Foreign Oats the receipts
were unusually large, amounting to upwards of 60,000 quar-
ters. Other articles came slowly to hand. Fresh up, very
little English Wheat was received, either coastwise or by
land carriage; hence the stands were poorly supplied with
samples of both red and white. The accounts respecting the
growing crops not being considered favourable, and the at-
tendance of buyers being rather numerous, the demand for
Wheat of home produce was active at an advance on last
Monday's quotations of from Is to 2s per quarter, and at which
nearly the whole of the parcels offering were disposed of.
The show of free Foreign Wheat was small. Holders remained
very firm, and would not sell except at is to 2s per quarter
more money. That advance, however, was not generally com-
plied with. For Wheat, under lock, there was more inquiry,
at extreme rates. Scarcely any English Barley was on
show, while the supply of Poreign was limited. Grinding
parcels were held at more money, but other kinds were a
slow inquiry. The Malt trade was in a very sluggish state,
yet we can notice no alteration in value. 6-ving to the large
supply of Oats, tl:e Oat trade was heavy,_at a decline of Gd
per quarter. Beans, Peas, and Flour went off at very full
prices.

SMITHFIELD,

A very large importation of live stock from abroad for
our market has taken place during the past weak, the Cale-
donia steamer having arrived from Hamburgh with 29 Oxen ;
while the Ocean, Columbine, and Batavier have been re-
ported from Rotterdam, with 140 Cows, 90 Oxen, and 13
Calves. At Hull 190 Oxen and Cows, and at Southampton
12 Oxen have come to hand—the former from Rotterdam,
the latter from Spain. In to-day's market we had on sale
130 Oxen and Cows from the above quarters. Generally
speaking, the supply was of full average quality; indeed,
scarcely any of the Cows were in any way out of condition.
Nearly the whole were disposed of at somewhat drooping prices.
The arrivals of beasts, fresh up from our various grazing dis-
tricts, were, on the whole, moderately good. Although there
were many most useful animals amongst them, their general
quality was not to say first rate. Owing, in some measure,
to the unfavourable state of the weather for slaughtering, the
Beef trade—as was the case on Friday last—ruled inactive,
at a declince in the currencies obtained on this day se'nnight
of 2d per 81b., the highest figure for the best Scots not ex-
ceeding 4s 2d per 81b., and at which a clearance was not
effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge-
shire we received 500 Scots, homebreds, and short horns ;
from the North of England, 300 short horns, &c. ; from the
western and midland counties, 400 Herefords, runts, Devons,
&c. ; from other parts of England 400 of various kinds ;
from Scotland, 300 Scots; and from Ireland, 80 Beasts.
Compared with those exhibited at corresponding periods last
year, the number of Sheep were small, the falling off in them
being about 7,000 head. Prime Old Downs commanded a
steady demand, at fully last week's quotations. In other
kinds only a moderate business was doing, at late rates.
In the quality and condition of the Sheep a slight improve-
ment was apparent. The supply of Lambs were but moderate ;
while the Lamb trade was tolerably steady, at previous
figures, which ruled from 5s to 6s per 81b. For Calves, we
had a very slow inquiry, and, in some instances, the Flees
had a downward tendency. The Pork trade was very
dull at last week's currencies.

From Scotland and distant parts of England, the arrivals
of slaughtered Meat up to our markets, during the past week,
have been only moderate, though somewhat extensive for
the time of year. The supplies of Meat killed in the metro-
polis, having been on the increase, and of improved quality;
the general demand has ruled inactive, and the quotations of
Beef have suffered a decline of 2d per 81bs, those of all other
kinds of meat being with difficulty supported. Several car-
cases of foreign beasts have been disposed of, at from 2s 10d
to 3s 2d per Blbs.

Although reports have reached us from all parts of Kent
and Sussex, stating that mould has made its appearance in
some plantations, the Hop trade still continues dull, and
prices are next to nominal, hence we have again omitted
them in this report. _
