CORN EXCIUNGE.

Tl,e country markAs held o:1 S...t.arday were moderately
supplied with wheat, in which only a limited business was
transacted en lower terms. There was very little doing in
barley, and the quotations had a doWnward tendency. All
other articles-met a dull inquiry. -

. _
Our advicee from New York state that the supplies of
grain and flour were on the increase, and that the demand
for them ruled heavy. In the continental markets very
little is doing on English account.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last week,
were very moderate. The imports of foreign were 10,790
quarters ofwheat, 6.804 barley, ,9,859 oats, 2,020 beaus,
271 pe,s, 4 tares, 6,792 ,inseed, 3,035 rapeseed, 9 mustard
seed, 1,570 sundry seeds, and 3,568 sack of flour.
The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to onr
market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was but
moderate ; nevertheless, the show of samples of both red
and white was tolerably good, the time of year considered.
Owing to the prevailing fine weather for harvest work, and
the thin attendance of both town and country millers, the
demand for all kinds of home-grown wheat was excessively
heavy, at a fall in the prices obtained on Monday last of
2s per quarter. In some instances damp qualities were
3s per quarter cheaper than on that day.
With foreign wheat—fresh as well as ex-granary—we
were well supplied. Dealers generally purchased with ex-
treme caution, and the trade was heavy in the extreme,
at prices fully 2s per quarter beneath those paid on this
day se'nnight. _ _

Floating cargoes off the coast, the arrivals of which are
good, were much neglected, and lower to purchase.
The show of barley was good. All kinds moved off
slowly, and the quotations were the turn in favour of
buyers.

Malt sold slowly, but no change took place in prices.
Good sound oats moved off steadily, at full quotations.
Low and damp samples were dull, and rather easier to puk-
chase.

Beans changed hands slowly, at late rates.
A few samples of new grey and white peas were in the
market. The former realised 40s to 425, the latter 48s to
503 per quarter.

The flour trade was very dull, and prices had a down-
ward tendency.
