MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

The past week's arrivals of Wheat of home produce for our
market were on a very moderate scale, but those of most
other kinds of Grain, except Malt, were somewhat on the
increase, and of full average quality. Of foreign Grain and
Flour the receipts were by no means large. Fresh up several
parcels of English Wheat came to hand, coastwise, as well as
by land carriage, yet the supply on offer was by no means
large. It being now pretty well ascertained that no
immediate change will be made in the import du-
ties on foreign Wheat, the demand for the finest
parcels of both Red and White was steady,
at, in some instances, a trifling advance in the currencies ob-
tained on this day se'nnight. As the improvement was by
no means general, we cannot alter our quotations. The
middling and inferior kinds of English Wheat—which formed
the bulk of the supply—were somewhat inactive, yet the quo-
tati,ns ruled about stationary; still a clearance was not
effected. The show of free Foreign Wheat was small. For
the finest parcels we had a fair inquiry; but, in other kinds,
next to nothing was doing. In Corn under lock, owing to
the firmness on the part of the importers, vet),
little was transacted at late rates. The supply of
English Barley being considerably more than ade-
quate to meet the wants of the dealers, the trade with
all descriptions was exceedingly dull, at a decline of fully Is
per quarter in the quotations, and a large quantity remained
unsold at the market's close. Notwithstanding the quantity
of Malt on ofler was small, the Malt trade ruled dull, yet
prices were about stationary. Since the returns were made
up on Friday, about 20,000 quarters of Irish, and 30,000
quarters of foreign Oats, have come to hand. This
large addition had a depressing influence upon thetrade, and
'the quotations suffered a decline of quite Is per quarter. In
Beans, only a moderate amount of business was transacted,'
yet, prices were supported. White Peas were Is lower; but
other kinds were quite as dear. In Flour, next to nothing
was doing. The Seed market was steady, at full prices.

SMETII7IELD.

The past week's importations of live stock into London
have consisted of 269 Beasts and 333 Sheep, from Rotterdam
and Harlingen, together with 26 Oxen from Hamburgh, in,
for the most part, middling condition. At the outports
about 200 Beasts and Sheep have been received from the
continent. We bad an offer, 150 foreign Beasts and 130
Sheep, the whole of which found buyers, at fully previous
quotations, The following statement, derived from official
sources, shows the total imports during the last three years,
ending on the 10th of October

Fresh up from our own grazing districts the arrival of
Beasts were, even the time of year considered, very limited,
and of poor quality, owing to which the Beef trade was brisk,
at an advance in the quotations obtained on Monday last of
quite 4d per Blbs., and at which a good clearance was ef-
fected. From the northern counties about 1,400 short horns
came fresh to hand, while from the eastern districts we re-
ceived 150 Scots and short horns; from the western
and Midland Counties, 400 Herefords, Devons, Runts, &c. ;
from other parts of England, 300 of various breeds ; from
Scotland, 90 Scots; and from Ireland, 150 Beasts. The num-
ber of Sheep being small, the Mutton trade was somewhat
active, and full prices were obtained in every instance. The
Veal trade was somewhat active, at Friday's improved cur-
rencies. In Pigs a full average amount of business was doing,
at late rates.
