Thursday, 7s. 3d. for good quality was bid, ex ship, but
was withdrawn for 7s. 6d. Spirits of Turpentine move off

season for consumption is approaching, higher prices may
be looked for. HEMP is rather dearer, 200 bales dew-
rotted having been disposed of at £24 per ton. ROSIN
continues very steady at 2s. 9d. for common and 6s. for
fine qualities. In consequence of the advanced price asked

Bs. per cwt.
There has been an active demand for AMERICAN Bacon,
at full prices : the stock is much reduced, 1200 boxes
having been sold during the week. Hams sell freely, and
more money is obtainable for Shoulders. The prices of
Pork take the full range of the subjoined quotations, ac-
cording to quality. There is very little Beef on the mar-
ket, and high prices being demanded, the trade purchase
only to supply immediate wants, at previous rates. We
have bad a little fine Cheese selling this week, an article
ii hich has been excluded from our quotations for some
time past; the total amount offered by auction last week
was 2,330 boxes, and nearly the whole was cleared off ;-

The growth of grass being promoted by the prevailing
wet weather, a larger quantity of home-made BUTTER
has been brought into the market than was expected;
the demand for mists Butter during the week has been
proportionately small, and at the close holders in vain.
offered to submit to a decline of ls. per cwt. In all pros.
bability more of the latter will be made this season than
we shall have consumption for. Other articles in the
Irish Provision trade also move slowly, in consequence of
the cheapness of American. Prices (landed in Liver-

MONEY MARKET. YESTERDAY.

but subsequently recovered all the difference, and are a shade
better than before, at 86* to 4 both for money and time. Re-
duced Threes, 83* to 4. Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 866

LONDON SHARE MARKET.—YESTERDAY.

The Share market has improved. We now quote London
and North Westerns, 118 to 20 ; Great Westerns, 81 to 3 ; North
Staffords, 311- to dis. ; Great Northerns, 9i to f die. ; Shrews-
bury and Birminghains are lower, at 64 to 6 dis. French shares
are good; Northern of France, 6i to 4 die.

LONDON CORN MARKET.—YEsTERnAIr.
It has rained almost without ceasing during the night and
throughrut the morning, and all harvest operations must have
been greatly interfereewith, and continuance of such weather
will inevitably prove highly injurious to the crops. Most ac-
counts, however, agree that up to Saturday evening little da-
mage had actually been 'done. Our market was tolerably well
supplied with English Wheat by land-corriage samples from
the near counties, for which a considerable advance upoti last
Monday's rates was asked; millers, however, were not dis-
posed to accede to the factors' demands, and eventually the
bulk of the Essex supply was taken, on speculation, at an im-
provement of 3s per quarter upon that day's rates.
The Kentish Wheat was sold at about 2s. inore inimpv thpn
last week. foreign vi heat, both tree and in Mono, was held for
2s. advance, with which buyers would not comply, and very
little business was transacted.

Barley in fair request, and is. per quarter dearer, Oats we:e
a rather better sale, at the extreme quotations of Monday last.
Beans and Peas supported their previous value.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YESTER DAY.
The supply of beasts is shorter, especially of choice qualities,
which are consequently dearer. We have a fair supply of Sheep
and Lambs ; for the former trade is about the same as of late,
but for the latter there is scarcely any demand; they are worth
no more per lb. than sheep. Calves are lower.
