MARKET NEWS.—(This Day).

CORN EXCHANGE.
The snpply of English wheat on sale to-day was very
moderate, and chiefly composed of Monday's unsold sam-
ples. The trade ruled exceedingly heavy, and the quota-
tions were nominally unaltered.
Foreign wheat met a dull inquiry—indeed scarcely a
transaction took place in it.
Floating cargoes were quite neglected.
Fine barley supported previous rates; other kinds were
very dull.
Malt sold heavily, at the late decline.
Oats changed hands slowly, at Monday's currency.
Beans, peas, and flour wore nominal in price.
