MARKET NEWS-(T.HIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

There has been a moderate arrival of English wheat up
to our market this week, coastwise and by land carriage;
nevertheless, the show of samples in to•day's market was
small. For all kinds the demand was rather inactive, at
Monday's currency.

Ther-e was very little inquiry for foreign wheat, the sup-
ply of which was but moderate, at unaltered quotations.
Tho inquiry for barley was steady, on former terms, but
malt was ►ouch neglected.
The business doing in oats w1,.3 comparatively small.
Prices, however, were well supported.
Beans and peas were quite as dear as on Monday, but
dour met a dull inquiry.
