CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were but,
moderately supplied with wheat, yet the demand for all
kinds ruled very inactive, at barely stationary prices. Bar-
ley and oats realised full quotations, but all ether articles
c)mmanded very little at(ontion.

The last advices from New York bring a further decline
of 12.3 cents. in the value of flour. In grain very little was
doing. The near Continental markets have been inactive.
Up to our market, last week, the receipts of English
grain were very moderate. From abroad we received
16,508 quarters of wheat, 2,337 barley, 30,546 oats, 525
rye, 3,200 beans, 2,320 peas, 730 tares, 2,174 linseed, 1,837
rapeseed, 95 mustard seed, 29 sundry seeds, and 2,217
sacks of flour.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market
to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, were on a very
moderate scale, yet tolerably good for the time of year,
and in excellent condition. The show of samples was
far from extensive, though it included several parcels left
over from last week, and the demand for nearly all de-
scriptions was rather flat. However, factors almost gene-
rally succeeded in obtaining the prices of Monday last
for both red and white qualities.
There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on
offer, fresh as well as ex granary. Millers evinced very
little disposition to purchase any kind ; nevertheless, im-
porters were firm, and the few transactions reported were
at prices equal to those of Monday last.
In floating cargoes very little business was transacted.
With both home-grown and foreign barley we were
fairly supplied. The trade ruled very inactive, but no
change took place in the quotations.
So little was doing in malt that the currencies were
almost nominal.

The show of English and Irish oats was small, of foreign
extensive. The trade was in a sluggish state, but we have
no change to notice in prices.

We had a dull sale for both beans and peas, and the quo,
tations were barely supported.

The flour trade was dull, at last week's currency.
