CORN EXCHANGE.

Tilts country markets held on Saturday were but mode-
ratoly supplied, yet the demand for all kinds ruled very
ins ctive, at barely stationary prices. Barley and malt
nE t a dull sale, and oats were lower to purchase. In other
I al ides only a limited business was transacted.
he purchases of wheat and other grain in most of the
nes r continental markets have been very moderate of late.
The ) latest accounts from the United States state that the
sup plies of all articles were trifling.
ip to our market last week the arrivals of grain
w, .e limited. From abroad we received 4,971 quarters of
w is eat, 1,800 barley, 4,107 oats, 702 beans, 413 tares, 4,335
li w 3oed, 3,349 rapeseed, 15 mustard seed, 232 sundry seeds,
3 el -66 sacks and 6,112 barrels of flour.
The quantity of English wheat arrived fresh up to our
n tarket to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was on a
v ery limited scale ; however, the show of samples was
s, Mall. The demand, however, for all kinds was on a very
i: 'active state, aed, in some instances, the quotations had
a downward tendency, compared with Monday last; the fall
it t value being from is. to 2s. per quarter, at which much
d ifficulty was experienced in effecting a clearance.
There was scarcely any inquiry fur foreign wheat—the
I; °ports of which continue on a very moderate scale,
n svertheless importers were firm in their demands, and
la to rates were mostly supported.
For boating cargoes there was scarcely any demand,
bt te• we have no alteration to notice in their value.
T 'he supply of English barley was moderate ; of foreign
lin ti led. The barley trade was inactive, at prices about
eq, is it to those obtained on Monday last.
ne malt trade ruled heavy, but we have no actual de
cli 21 to notice in prices.

Cue supply of oats was on the increase, and the oat
tra c e ruled heavy. Damp qualities were rather lower
to jrurchase.

beans, very little was doing, at late rates.
eas moved off slowly, at about stationary prices.
(title flour trade was rather dull. In the quotations no
ma aerial change took place.
