So little has yet been done in any description of grain, that the price may be nominally quoted Cie same as on Friday. The samples of good Whim 's heat •re still offered at 388., and although there are a few samples offered at Is. and is . higher, nothing has been done to warrant our quoting any vs:union. Barley is at present not much in tie mend, but the nominal price is 383. Oats are also the sabre as on Friday, but the Irish Oats meet with little demand. Beans and Peas are also without alteration, but nojust criterion can yet be formed as to whether they will maintain lust market price. CORN EXCHANGE. WEDwEsti4Y, Man Cit At the close of Monday's market there was no variation in grain, for although Wheat rather declined towards the middle of the day, it recovered itself at the close. This day but little business has been done, but what sales have been effected support the quotations of Monday. The supply is small, and the anent.. tome of dealers trivial at present, but us the day advances it expected a good deal of business will ho done, on account of next market day being Guild Friday, which will induce ninny the consumets to buy a larger quantity than usual. In ~.,.; case a trilling advance in price may be anticipated, as the quan tity of grain at market is bu; limited. A few very fine ssupple, of Outs have already found purchasers at 283. per quarter, end Barley supports 3133. White Wheat may still be quoted at 55 fur good samples, and for very stiperiur samples 60a, and i., a few cases No. are demanded. Upon the whole, however, the variation in the pike fiom Monday's quotations is not worm noticing. 131BTUS. At Ills house In (Ireton erect, Berkeley square, the lady of Dr. Granville, 01 a 8/lighter.
