MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-(MONDAY.)
During the past week, up to Saturday evening, the arrivals
of all descriptions of Grain—both British and foreign—for our
market were on a very moderate scale, if we except those of
Malt. Fresh up scarcely any English Wheat came to
hand, either coastwise or by land carriage; hence the show
of samples of that produce was extremely small. Owing,
however, to the comparatively thin attendance of buyers,
the trade was by no means brisk; yet, in some few instances,
a trifling advance was paid for selected qualities of both red
and white. In other qualities, only a moderate business
was transacted, yet the quotations were firmly sup-
ported. From the whole of our grain districts, the
accounts respecting the appearance of the winter,
wheats are quite as favourable as could be expected.
The quantity of free foreign Wheat brought forward was
limited. Selected parcels were in better request, at very full
prices. In other kinds, we have scarcely a transaction to
notice. A few sales of Oats, under lock, took place ; but in
all other kinds of Grain in bond, next to nothing was passing.
Although the supply of Barley was small, that article met a
dull inquiry, at barely last week's quotations. The show of
Malt was good. The best kinds were held firmly, at full
prices, but all other qualities were a mere drug. The best
potatoe Oats produced a trifle more money. Other parcels,
which were in short supply, were quite as dear. Grey Peas
were a trifle ,dearer. Other Peas quite as dear. Beans and
Flour a slow inquiry.

SMITHFIELD.

In the past week the imports of live stock from abroad
have consisted of about fifty Oxen and Cows, by steamer,
from Rotterdam. These arrivals having proved of very su-
perior quality—although some of them were slightly affected
with the prevailing epidemic—they have commanded a
steady inquiry, at improved currencies—some of them having
changed hands at 291 per head. We had on sale only ten
foreign Beasts, the above importations being mostly disposed
of on Friday last. Fresh up from our own grazing counties,
only moderate time-of-year supplies of Beasts came to hand
to-day, there being about 200 less on offer than on this day
se'nnight, while a decided falling off was apparent in their
general quality. The dead markets being well cleared of their
late arrivals, and the attendance of both town and country
buyers numerous, the Beef trade was somewhat active, at an
improvement in the currencies obtained on Monday last of
2d per 81bs, the primest Scots readily producing 4s to 4s 2d
per Blbs, at which a good clearance was effected. From
Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received
about 1,600 Scots and Homebreds ; while the receipts from
the Northern grazing districts amounted to 200 Short-horns;
from the Western and Midland Counties, 400 Herefords,
Runts, Devons, &c. ; from other parts of England 300 of
various breeds ; and from Scotland 90 horned and polled
Scots, the remainder of the bullock supply being chiefly
derived from the neighbourhood of the metropolis.
The numbers of sheep were moderately extensive, yet a
scarcity of really prime old Downs was noticed. The
Mutton trade was, on the whole, active, at an enhancement on
last week's figures of 2d per 81bs, the primest old Downs
realising 4s 8d per 81bs. From the Isle of Wight 76 Lambs
came fresh to hand per railway, while from other quarters
the receipts were moderate. The lamb trade was firm at
prices fully equal to those obtained on Friday. The supply
of Calves was small -yet the Veal trade was dull, at barely
stationary prices. In Pigs we have very few transactions
to report, and the quotations were with difficulty supported.

BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.
Although the fresh arrivals of Potatoes at the water side
have been by no means extensive, during the week the sup-
plies offering have proved seasonably large. For all kinds
the demand has been in a very depressed state, and prices
have had a downward tendency.
BOROUGH HOP MARXIST.
The market being very sparingly supplied with all descrip-
tions of Hops, holders continue firm, and, in the few sales
effected since our last, full prices have been realised in every
instance.

NEWOATE AND LEA.DENHA.LL.
The receipts of country-slaughtered Meat for these markets,
during the past week, have been seasonably extensive, and of
fair average quality. The supplies on offer killed in the me-
tropolis, have proved moderately good, yet, on the whole, an
improvement must be reported. in the demand fur 411 ciescripe
tions of prime meat at full prices. In other kinds, rather more
b4siness has been transacted, at late rates. Several carom

of foreign Beasts have been bro
