MAILKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY .)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were
tolerably, firm for wheat, at very full prices. Barley sold
freely on higher terms. The oat trade ruled somewhat
active. Beans, peas, and flour had an upward tendency.
Most of the continental markets are firm, and most kinds
of grain are producing enhanced rates.
Accounts from New York state that flour and most other
articles were steady.
ljp to our market last week thereceipts of English grain
were very moderate. From abroad we received 11,36
quarters of wheat, 573 barley, 10,521 oats, 45 ryo, 1,350
beans, 1,366 peas, 25 tares, 3,538 linseed, 2,145 rapeseed,
328 sundry seeds, 3,309 sacks and 1,600 barrels of flour.

The arrivals of new English wheat fresh up to our mar-
ket this morning, coastwise and by land carriage, were
considerably on the increase compared with Monday last ;
but those of old wheats were trifling. The shol of the
former was in fair average condition, and the demand for
most kinds ruled steady, at prices fully equal to those of
this day se'nnight. The few old wheats in the market sold
freely, at fully is per quarter above tho rates of this day
se'nnight.
The show of foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex•granary'
was very moderate. Importers were very firm, and many
of them refused to sell except at a considerable advance'
However, the business transacted was comparatively small,
though, in some instances, very fine parcels were is dearer.

Floating cargoes sold steadily, at extreme rates.
We were scantily supplied with barley, and the trade
ruled active, at a further improvement in value of is per

quarter.
There was an improved demand for malt, at extrelne

quotations.
The oat trade ruled steady, at an improvement in value
of 6d to Is per quarter. The supply was small.
The few beans in the market ehanged hands at my fall
prices.

Peas were firm, and white qualities were is dearer.
The flour trade ruled active, at fully last week's ice'
provement:
