SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET, OCT. 31

The supplies of Beasts fresh up to-day, from our own grazing
districts, was the largest recollected at the corresponding period
during the last 10 years —they considerably exceeded 4,060 head.
The quality of the arrivals was, it is true, inferior, yet the effect
produced upon the trade was that of extreme heaviness, and, in
order to effect sales, au abatement of from 2d to 4d tier Sib was
submitted to, and nearly 700 of various breeds were turned out
unsold at the close of the market. We had another large supply
of Sheep, which were excessively dull in sale, and the rates gave
way quite 2d per 81b, the highest price obtained for the best old
downs not exceeding 4s 4d per sibs, while a clearance was not
effected. The Veal trade was very dull, and the quotations were
2d per 81b lower than on Monday last. In pigs next to nothing
was doing, yet the currencies were maintained. From Lincoln-
shire, Leicestershire, Norihamptoushire, &c., we received 3,200
short horns and runts, 200 Scots, homebreds, &c., from Norfolk,
Suffolk. Essex, and Cambridgeshire ; 300 Herefords. Devons, and
runts, from our western and midland districts ; 359, of various
breeds, from other parts of England; and 10, by sea, from Scot-
land. By the quantities of Blbs, sinking the offal.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE NOVEMBER 1.
Prevented by exceedingly boisterous weather for several
days last week, we had very little Grain up to Friday's mar-
ket; and although the atmosphere has become more genial
since, it has not been so tar of sufficient duration to admit
of many vessels entering the port; we have, therefore, to
state a very scanty supply of Grain from Ireland, and scarcely
any either coastwise or from abroad ; a moderate quantity
of Irish Flour and Oatmeal, with 7195 barrels of Canadian
and 500 sacks of Flour from Venice, forming the principal
arrivals since this day se'nnight.
Having several country millers, and an average attendance
of local buyers, at our Corn Exchange to-day, with a mode-
rate, but certainly not a lively demand, good Baltic Wheat
realised Id to 2d, Mediterranean samples generally 2d to 3d,
Irish, upona scanty supply, about 3d, and farmers' Wheat 2d
per 701bs over the current rates of this day week, at which,
however, the trade closed rather heavily. Flour of all de.
scriptions continued to move off in tolerable quantities to
consumers, at former prices.
Barley, Beans, and Pease remained in much the same state
as last week.—Old Malt was dull, and the turn cheaper : of
new only one small parcel has yet appeared, and considered
to be worth about 57s per quarter.
