placed a much better stack on the market, and prices in the I
early 'part of the week were reduced to 85c. to 90c. ; but

CHARLESTON, FEB. 26.-Floor: The market for this ar-
ticle is in a very unsettled state, and our quotations for it
more or less nominal. There is only a sparing demand by
bakers, and if holders were to attempt to force sales, a
decided decline would be the consequence. The receipts
of corn during the past week consist of three cargoes of
North Carolina, about 7,000 bushels, and 13,800 bushelp,
principally from Oeorgia, by the railroad. The former sold
at 95c. to 1 dol. per bushel, and 4,000 bushels of the latter

chasers.

We have papers and advices from Ilavannalt to the

joicings in celebration of the unhappy marriage of
the Queen of Spain.

Some supplementary particulars are given in the
Belgian papers about the Bank of Belgium, a brief
notice of which appeared in the Erpres: some days
I since, which make its balance-sheet more intelli-1
gihle, as well as showir.g, in a more favourable

CORN.—BASTNOSTOKE., 3lARcit 23.—The market
was held on Tuesdsy, on account of the fast falling on the
usual market day, Wedricisday. This alteration caused a
thin attendance, coupled with farmers being fully employed
in getting in opting sei do. The Wheats sold were at a re-
duction of from lOs. to 150. per load ; the best scarcely fetch-
ing 201. per load ; red, best, 191. 10a.; second quality,
181. 101. to 191. Flour as last week. Barley elan sold si ry
slow, though offered 2a. per qr. cheaper; best, 50s. to 52a;
good, 43e.; inferior, 4-50. Mull, best, 10s. per bushel; se-
cond, 9s. Ikl. ; some fair samples sold at 9s. Barley Meal,
255. per bushel. Oats are also goirg down in price, the best
2s. per qr. lower; inferior, 34.; prices varied between 24a.
and 340. per qr. Beans, l'eas, and Rye all Is. per quarter
cheaper. Vetches, both spring and winter. 6d. per bushel
decline.

}Loiter/ill. Marten 22.—T0-day we had a fair quantity
of Wheat, and mare Barley than for same weeks past; earn
article met a very dull sale, the former at le. to 25., and the
latter full Is. per qr. lower. Beans and Peas fully Is. lower.
LEWF.R, MAUCH 23.—There was • large attendance, but
no eagemass to press Weir. Prices Joked, 19!. 10s. to 201. for
brawn and white. To these prig a the millers refused to
treacle, so that the market -wag a heavy one. Towards
the close, those who sold took 18'. lfis, to 191. for red, above
6116. to 621 b. ; and 20/. for prime white. One parcel of fine
white was sold far France, at 191. .is. There are complaints
about It re of the wire-worm and the Wheats on the hills
being injured by the frosts; but, it is expected, a little fine
weatlii r, with rain, will set this to rights.
NEWCAWILE, lklamor 23.—At our market this morning
we had a moderate 141.0., of Wheat from the grower.; but
the Hat account% Rum Mark-lane hail a depressing ioiluence
on the trade, and *ales could only be effected by submitting
to a decline of 2s. per quaver. At this reduction, however,
we may observe, holders were not anxious pellets. Flour is
quite a drug, and it is quite evident that the great bulls of
our present supply will nave to be landed, the quantity of-
feting being po much beyond our present requirements.

STOCI:TON-O,I•TEP.A. MARCH 23.-A very short supply of
Wheat from the farmers today, and the coasting arrival. are
light; the demand is slow, and Let week's riess are barely
supported. For Barley we have no dsmpd, and the season
may be considered over for this article. Oat., Beans, and
Pesoi dull at last wetles prices. Flour remains the same.

ration since Friday; but merchant.' wheat, and all other

reduced ratan if purchaser. offered. The demand for bakers'
Flour continues very lenevid, and sales can only he made at
very low rates. Some American Flours are offered at 401.
to 425. per barrel. Coarse Flour, Oatmeal, and Indian Meal
almost daily decline in value.

BELYAST, MA; CH V.—The supplies coming to market
continue small, and no change in prime. Wheat is the turn
dearer, and some large sales of foreign and home produce
haw been made at lull ewes. In consequence of the largo
importations of 'nth.* Corn, and the decline in Liverpool,
the price of that article was reduced, on Friday last, fully
20.. per ton, and Ural in proportion ; holder', however,
evince more firmness to-dap, and do not seem anxious to sell
at the reduced rates. The following arc our quotations:—
