MARKET NEWS.-jHIS.DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-04 ONDAY).
During the past week fair average supplies of Wheat have
been received up to our Market, principally from Lincolnshire;
and Cambridgeshire. Of Foreign and Irish Oats the arrivals
were extensive, and nearly the whole of the farmer were en-
tered for home consumption, at the prevailing duty. The
fresh supplies of Barley, Malt, Beans, Peas, and Flour were
scanty. Coastw ise, as well as by land carriage and samples,
upwards of 2,000 quarters, in addition to the quantity imported
up to Saturday evening, came to hand, chiefly from Essex;
notwithstanding the stands were much better supplied than
for some time past, and which will ,„be observed, when we
intimate that the total arrivals since this day se'imight have
rather exceeded 10,000 quarters—the factors, at the opening
of the Market demanded riAcitiouslAlligh rates, many of ,
them asking as much as 78s. per quarter for White
qualities. This, as might well be imagined, had the
effect of causing the buyers to hold off ; hence the
sale for the article was by no means so animated as it.
otherwise might have been. However, notwithstanding the
demand was not to say brisk ; the holders succeeded in oh.
twining an advance in the currencies paid on Monday last
of Is, and in some instances 2s per quarter, and at which the
principal portion of the supply Was disposed of. The show
of fine foreign Wheat was not large. For the best parcels
of both red and white the inquiry was :omewhatactive, at a
rise of 2s. per quarter, find other qualities sold at Is. per
quarter more money. Bonded samples were in active de-
mand at an improvement in value of from 2s. to 3s. per quarter,
and at which upwards of 10,000 quarters were disposed of.
The accounts received from various parts of the kingdom,
respecting the growing crops, were of a very conflicting cha-
racter, yet we have every reason to believe the wheats have
sustained but little damage. Grinding Barley was in fair
request, at full prices, bat malting and other parcels hung
heavily on hand. The supply of Malt was limited, yet the
demand for it was inactive, at late rates. Owing to the
large supplies of both Irish and Foreign, the Oat trade was
dull, and prices were with difficulty supported. Beans were
very dull, and the turn lower. We had a parcel of new Peas
on offer. Flour was active, at further improved quotations.
New Canary-seed sold at from 48e to 50s per cinarter,.and new
Rapeseed 281 to 30/ per last.

SIVEITUFTELD•
During the past week the imports of live stock from abroad,
for our market, have been on an extensive scale, they having
amounted to 175 Oxen and Cows, together with 163 Sheep,
and 27 Calves, from the Columbine, Batavier, and Giraffe
steamers from Rotterdam ; while the Caledonia has arrived
from Hamburgh having on board 50 Oxen. We had on offer
*0 Oxen and Cows, and 12 Calves from the above ports; in
which, however, though there were some useful animals
amongst them, a decided falling off was apparent in their
general quality. The demand fur them was, therefore, inac-
tive, at sAnewhat depressed currencies, yet nearly the whole
of them found buyers. In consequence of the comparatively
high rates ruling here, very few shipments have been lately
made to our outports. At Hull, only about 90 Beasts have
come to hand since our last. Still we find that two cargoes,
comprising 75 Oxen and Cews, have been lately landed and
disposed of by public auction at Dundee. The Oxen from
Holstein sold at from. 11/. to 16/. 55.; those from Jutland,
10/. to 13/. each. The purchases were wholly made by the
graziers. The foregoing arivals, added to those previously
reported, form the following totals of Beasts and Sheep for
the present year :—Beasts, 6,496 head; Sheep, 1,843 head.
Fresh up the arrivals of Beasts from our own grazing dis-
tricts were somewhat on the increase; while a further
• slight improvement was noticed in their quality, especially in
that of those from the western and midland counties. Al-
though the attendance of both town and country buyers was
rather numerous, the Beef trade was in a sluggish state, at a
decline in the quotations obtained on Monday last of 2d per
81bs, the highest figure for the best sorts not exceeding 4s 4d
per 81bs, and at which a clearance was with difficulty
effected. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridge-
shire, we received about 700 Scots, Home-breds, and Short
Horns ; from the northern districts, including 80 by railway
from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 200 Short Horns, &c. ;• from the
western and midland counties, 600 Herefords, Runts, Devons,
&c. ; from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds; and
from Scotland, 380 horned and polled Scots, the remainder of
the supply being derived from around the metropolis.
For the time of year, the numbers of Sheep were very limited,
and their condition was by no means good, notwithstanding
the plentiful supplies of fodder on the whole of our large
stock farms. The primest Old Downs were in steady re-
quest, at full rates of currency, but all other kinds were a
slow inquiry, at barely stationary prices. There were very
fine store animals on offer, and for which high rites were
again demanded. The supply of Lambs was small, owing
to which, the Lamb trade was active, at full quotations.
The foreign Calves found ready buyers, at from 4s to 4s 6d
per 81bs. Generally speaking, the Veal trade was steady, at
last week's figures. In Pigs--the supply of which was
small—only a limited business was doing at late rates.

ZIEV/G.131T3 AND 3LILIDENEALL.

For the tine of year we have received a full average sup-
ply of slaughtered Meat from Scotland and different parts of
England during the past week, while there has been a slight
increase in that killed in the metropolis. Still, however, the
general demand has ruled active, and, in some instances, the
quotations have had an upward tendency, _particularly those
of Beef, and at which good clearances have been effected.
Several carcases of foreign Beasts, Sheep, and Calves, have
found buyers, at fair prices.
