MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

During the past week the arrivals of all descriptions of Grain of
home produce, but more particularly those of Wheat, Barley, Oats,
and Flour, were on a very limited scale. Those of Irish Oats were
somewhat on the increase, but far from extensive ; while the im-
ports of Foreign Corn and Pulse were comparatively small for the
time of year. Fresh up the supplies of Wheat of home produce
were unusually small ; hence the show of samples of that ar-
ticle were extremely limited. The attendance of both town
and country dealers being large, the weather by no means
favourable for the progress of harvest work in the north of
England, and several orders having been again received from the
continent to purchase Wheat under lock, the market was in a state
,of excitement almost beyond a parallel, For all descriptions of
English Wheat, the demand was unusually brisk, at an advance in the
quotations obtained on Monday last, of from 4s to, in some instances,
6s per quarter, at which the whole on offer was disposed of. The
show of fine Foreign Wheat was small, and, for which we have to
report a very brisk inquiry, at a rise in the currencies of from 4s to 6s
per quarter, and a good clearance was effected without difficulty.
For Bonded Wheats we have to report a. brisk sale, at a rise of from
4s to 5s per quarter, and at which nearly 10,000 quarters were sold
for shipment to Holland and Belgium ; even at that improvement
importers were not ready sellers. Barley was in short supply and
active demand, at quite Is per quarter more money. There was some
inquiry for export. The Malt trade ruled firm. Superfine parcels
were the turn dearer, the value of other kinds being well supported.
All kinds of Beans moved off briskly, at is to 2s per quarter more
money, while Rye was 2s dearer. Such was the activity in the sale
for Peas, that their value was enhanced from 6s to 10s per quarter,
arising from the foreign demand, for immediate shipment. The Flour
trade was firm, at 5s per 2801bs. more money. Mustard Seed was
dull, but all other kinds of seed were quite as dear*

SMITHFIELD,.
Another extensive importation of live stock for our market has
taken place during the last week ; we having received 100 oxen and
cows, together with 220 sheep, 14 lambs, and 10 calves, per steamers,
from Rotterdam; while from Hamburgh 26 oxen have come to
hand, in, for the most part, in good condition. At the outports, in-
cluding Ireland sad Scotland, about 200 beasts and 20 sheep have
been imported. There were on offer 164 Dutch oxen and cows, together
with 64 sheep, nearly the whole of which found buyers, at rates
about equal to those obtained last week. By far the
largest portion was purchased by the butchers ; but a
few of the beasts were taken for grazing purposes.
From our own grazing districts the Bullock droves fresh up were
again extensive, amounting to neatly 4,000 head ; but compara-
tively speaking, of nsiddling quality. The primest Scots, Devons,
Runts, &c., moved off steadily at prices quite equal to those realised
on this day se'nnight. In the middling and inferior qualities of Beef
only a limited business was doing, and previous rates were with
difficulty supported. The northern droves, viz., those from Lincoln-
shire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, &c., amounted to 1,800
Short-horns. From the eastern counties about 400 Scots, Home-
brads, and Short-horns, came to hand. The numbers from the
western and midland districts, 500 Devons, Runts, Herefords,
&c. ; from other parts of England 400 of various breeds;
from Scotland, 140 Scots ; and from Ireland, 90 Beasts.
The number of Sheep were somewhat on the increase, and of im-
proved quality. Prime old Downs commanded a ready sale at full
prices—viz. 4s 8d to 5s per 81bs ; in other kinds of Sheep,
however, only a moderate business was transacted, and currencies
were with difficulty maintained. Lambs, the supply of which was
by no means extensive, moved off slowly, at last week's figures.
The Veal trade was steady, at Friday's enhanced rates. The supply
of Pigs, 161—comprising those received from Ireland—was good:
while the Pork trade was firm, at full prices.

NNIXTGATZ AND LEADENNALL.
The supplies of Meat killed in the metropolis continue on a fair
average scale, with the exception of those of really prime Mutton.
From Scotland, and various parts of England, the receipts have been
very moderate since Monday last. The primest Beef, Mutton, Veal,
and Pork, are in steady request, at, mostly, full rates of currency,
' otherwise the demand is inactive, at barely late figures. About 20
carcases of foreign Beef, 200 do. of Mutton, and 6 do. of Veal have
been disposed of here, at moderate figures.

WOOL.
During last week the imports of Wool were principally confined to
about 1,500 bales, chiefly from Sydney. In the private contract
market a full average amount of business is doing and the quotations
are well supported. The stock of Colonial Wools being now suffi-
ciently large to admit of extensive public sales, several will be held
early in next month. The auctions, at which will be offered nearly
10,000 packages, will commence on the 6th, and continue for several
days.

TALLOW.
The prices of Tallow are still about the same as for many weeks
paid ; the stock is small, and the demand good, both sufficiently so
to cause some excitement and create an advance of from 4/ to 5d per
ton. Town Tallow has fallen is 6d per cwt, more from the state of
the weather than any other cause. The price is 41s cash.

HOP IV/ AR 3MMT.
The late high winds and heavy rains appear to have done con-
siderable damage to the bine, owing to which, the demand, for most
kinds of Hops, is fair, and prices have an upward tendency. The
duty is now called only 170,0001. Picking will be pretty general to-
day. Nearly 100 pockets of New Hops have been disposed of, at
prices 'varying from 61 to Si lOs per ewt.

Lord Cowley returned on Thursday to Paris from
England.
The Duke and Duchess of Nemours, and the Duke
d'Aumale, are about to return to Paris, and will proceed in a few
days to the Chateau d'Eu.
JARROW COLLIERY EXPLOSION.—The Commis-
sioners appointed by Government to inquire into the causes of the
recent explosion at Jarrow colliery, have terminated their investiga-
tions at Jarrow, and left the district. The result of their labours
will be communicated to the Home Secretary, and the publication of
their report is looked forward to with great interest by the coal trade,
especially in the north of England.
VACANCY IN THE REPRESENTATION OF WIGAN.—
The borough has been unexpectedly involved in the turmoil of a
Parliamentary contest, by the sudden death of Mr. Peter Greenall,
on Thursday last. Captain Lindsay was the same day named as the
Tory candidate, and a requisition was immediately prepared by the
Liberals, calling upon Ralph Thicknesse, Esq., whose father formerly
represented the borough, to come forward. There is every reason to
believe that Mr. Thicknesse will respond to the wisees of the elec-
tors.--Manchester Guardian.
EXPLOSION OF TURPENTINE NEAR THE LONDON
AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY.-011 Saturday night, about eight
o'clock, an explosion of turpentine took place, under the most singu-
lar circumstances, near the terminus of the London and Birmingham
Railway, at Euston-square, which, owing to the disgraceful conduct
of a cabman, was near being attended by serious consequences, not
only to property, but life. About the time above stated a man was
unloading a cart, laden with drugs, and carrying the articles into the
shop of Mr. J. Knowles, chemist and druggist, of Seymour-street.
Among other articles was a carboy of turpentine, which, on being
lifted from the cart unfortunately burst, the whole of the spirits fall-
into the gutter and on the pavement fronting Mr. Knowles's shop.
One of the cabmen, who is unfortunately not known, plying on
the Seymour-street stand (which is a great nuisance to the in-
habitants of the street, but of convenience to the London and
Birmingham Railway Company, who have no room, like other
railways, on their own premises for cabs) went into Blundell's ham
and beef shop adjoining Mr. Knowles's, for the purpose of, it was sup-
posed, lighting his pipe, but as it afterwards turned out, to have a lark
with his companions by setting fire to the turpentine. On coming
out of the shop he threw the lighted paper amongst the liquid,
which floated in the gutter, and an explosion immediately fol-
lowed, a bright flame shooting up nearly as high as the
second-floor windows of the houses, and burning furiously
for several minutes. To describe the alarm and confusion
that prevailed is out of the question. The people in the various
shops making purchases flew to the parlours behind the shops for
safety from the flames, which threatened to destroy everything
within their reach. The cabs were moved, but not before the paint
upon them was blistered, as well as the paint upon the deers of the
houses on the opposite side of the street. In every place touched
by the turpentine flames were observed, :and for a long dis-
tance the pavement appeared a sheet of lire. The inhabitants,
aided by a body of police of the 5 division, succeeded, after much
difficulty, in extinguishing the flames, but not before a great many
windows were broken by the heat. Various reports were circulated ;
one, that au explosion had taken place on the London and Birming-
ham Railway, caused several of the brigade engines, with the engine
of the County Fire- office, to arrive, but their aid wait of required.
It is understood to be the determination of the inhabitants to offer a
reward for the discovery of the dastardly miscreant who caused the
explosion.
