CORN EXCHANGE•

The country markets held on Saturday were but mode-
rately supplied, yet the demand for all kinds ruled very
inactive, at barely stationary prices. Barley and malt
met a dull sale, and oats were lower to purchase. In other
articles only a limited business was transacted.
The purchases of wheat and other grain in most of the
near continental markets have been very moderate of late.
The latest accounts from the United States state that the
supplies of all articles were trifling.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of grain
were limited. From abroad we received 4,971 quarters of
wheat, 1,800 barley, 4,107 oats, 702 beans, 413 tares, 4,335
linseed, 3,349 rapeseed, 15 mustard seed, 232 sundry seeds,
3,466 sacks and 6,112 barrels of flour.

The quantity of English wheat arrived fresh -up to our
market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was on a
very limited scale ; however, the show of samples was
small. The demand, however, for all kinds was on a very
inactive state, and, in some instances, the quotations had
a downward tendency, compared with Monday last; the fall
in value being from ls. to 2s. per quarter, at which much
difficulty was experienced in effecting a clearance.
There was scarcely any inquiry for foreign wheat—the
imports of which continue on a very moderate scale,
nevertheless importers were firm in their demands, and
late rates were mostly supported.

For floating cargoes there was scarcely any demand,
but we have no alteration to notice in their value.

The supply of English barley was moderate ; of foreign
limited. The barley trade was inactive, at prices about
equal to those obtained on Monday last.
The malt trade ruled heavy, but we have no actual de•
cline to notice in prices.

The supply of oats was on the increase, and the oat
trade ruled heavy. Damp qualities were rather lower
to purchase.

In beans, very little was doing, at late rates.
Peas moved off slowly, at about stationary prices.
The flour trade was rather dull. In the quotations n•
material change took place.
