SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 22.
For the primest Scots, Herefords, runts. and Devons we had
a steady demand, at prices fully equal to those obtained on this
day s'nnight ; but in the middling and inferior kinds only a
moderate amount of business was transacted, at barely late
fates , still a good clearance, notwithstanding the heaviness in
the demand in the dead markets, was effected by the salesmen.
The numbers of Sheep were a fair average, and in good con.
dition. Prime downs and half-breds fully supported last week's
rates ; but all other breeds moved off slowly, and their curren-
cies were barely supported. The Veal trade was again active,
owing to the supply of Calves being small. and the quotations
advanced 2d per Sib. Pigs were in moderate supply and steady
inquiry, at fully late quotations. We had no foreign stock on
offer this morning, neither have any imports taken place since
Monday last, the present low prices here causing such specula-
[ions to involve a great sacrifice of capital. Per stone of Sibs
sinking the offal.

LONDON CORN_EXCHANGE, JAN. 22.
There was a limited supply of Wheat i
by land samples from
Essex, Kent, and Suffolk for this day's market, but an increased
show of Barley, Beans, and Peas from thesem eland
Icountries, and a
Ireland. The
good fresh arr val of Oats principally
portations of foreign grain have been to a fair extent since this
day s'nuight. The weather is mild and open again f r the
season, having had no frost since the early part of the past
week. Our millers having supplied themselves pretty liberally
ast week with English Wheat, they were not so anxious to
purchase this'morning. but ,ast Monday'sprices were supported
for all good samples, and the demand was steady at the clor e,
whilst fir free foreign a fair extent of business was transacted
at the full rates of this day se'unight: Flour met a moderate
demand, and there was no change in its value. Although the
show of Barley was linelral, no further decline was submitted to
for prime malting qualities, and such were taken off somewhat
more readily thin during last week, and only middling and
secondary sorts hung heavily on the market. Malt was without
alteration in value, prime tender parcels meeting a fair sale to
the small brewers. Beans were dull, and low qualities of new
the turn cheaper. There was no change in the value of Peas:
A fair demand was experienced for Oats, all sorts commanding
quite as much money. The importations of Linseed during the
the past week amounted to 647 qrs., but a good deal of it went
direct to the crushers, and not much was offering for sale. This
article must be considered quite as dear, and a 1 All qrs. ex-
ported to the north of France. 'I ares have arrived in abun-
dance, tne quantity of foreign reported being 3704 qrs., and the
demand not yet commenced, so that only torced sales can be
made to the seedsmen and dealers to hold for the spring trade.
