CORN EXCHANGE.—(IVIONDAV
Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
but moderately supplied with home-grown Wheats, for
which the demand ruled steady, and in some instances
the quotations were a shade higher. Foreign Wheats
and fine malting Barley were quite as dear; but low
parcels commanded very little attention. Most other
kinds of spring Corn, owing to the great improvement
in the general appearance of the growing crops, were
dull in sale, but not lower. Flour was tolerably steady
Oar aivices from the continental shipping ports are
mostly to the effect that a very limited busines b!is
la.',ly been transalted in grain for shipment to Englii,"l
At New York, on the Bth instant, several parcels "
Flour had changed hands for export.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market ee!
week were but moderate. From abroad we receive'
11,343 quarters of Wheat, 850 Barley, 52,775 oats.
484 Beans, 311 Linseed, 1,502 Rapeseed, 250 sacks 813d1
2,700 barrels of Flour.
Fresh up to-day the receipts of Wheat from BIZ:
Kent, and Suffolk, coastwise, were but moderate. 4.
general quality and condition of samples were, however,
good. From the midland comities the arrivals were
of
a somewhat more limited scale; hence the total show
home-grown Wheat was comparatively small. Notwith-
standing that the attendance of both town and coral
millers was far from extensive, and that very favourable
accounts came to hand on the subject of the general 5r
pearance of the growing crops, the demand was steanio
and a clearance was effected at prices quite equal to theel
of Monday last. Most of the dealers continue to bel"
very light stocks.
For forward delivery we had a slow inquiry, and the
amount of business doing was limited to small parcels t
be forweided this and next week.
Moat of the late imports of aintzic Wheats bell
gone direct into the hands of the millers, the show e.
fine qualities this morning was small. The trade wti:
firm, and in some instances a trifle more money we
paid. Low and middling kinds sold slowly, nevertbr
less paces were well supported. held
Floating cargoes of W Lost and Indian Corn were held
at full currencies, but we had no inquiry for Parcels
warehouse on foreign account, ld
Grinding Barley, the supply of which was limited9Bo.o
readily at full quotations. Grinding and distilling ee''
were rather dud, but not lower.
In Kilt very few transactions took place. Prices re.
mained as last advised.
Although the imports of foreign Oats have considerf
ably increased, the Oat trade was firm, from most est
the buyers having very light stocks on hand, es le
week's figures.
There was rather more doing in Beans, and the V°.
tationa were considered a shade higher.
Peas of all kinds moved off steadily, at full prices.
The demand for both English and foreign Flour wro
steady, at fully previous rates. A large portion f I
late imports from the United States has passed into
consumption.
