MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY•)

CORN EXCHANGE.—(MONDAY.)
The supplies of Wheat on sale in the country markets
held on Saturday were tolerably extensive; all kinds
were a dull inquiry, at barely stationary prices. There
was a moderate demand for Barley; but Malt com-
mended very little attention. Malt and Oats were the
turn lower; but both Beans and Peas commanded
rather more inquiry, Indian Corn and Flour were
dull.

Letters from the near continental ports state that the
transactions in Grain on English account have been on
a limi!ed scale. In the general quotations, however
very little alteration has taken place. Later advices
from New York state that the value of Flour had a
downward tendency. Very moderate supplies of Eng-
lish Grain arrived up to our market last week. The -
imports from abroad were 14,228 quarters of Wheat,
2.713 Barley, 11,055 Oats, 732 Beans, 600 Peas, 10,178
Linseed, 10.166 Rapeseed, 118 sundry seeds, 1,939 sacks
and 10,746 barrels of Flour.
Fresh up to-day, coastwise from Essex and Kent, the
arrivals of Wheat were unusually small, even the time o.
year considered; but the general condition of the
samples was first-rate. From the east coast very few
parcels came to hand, and the receipts by land carriage
were very moderate. Notwithstanding that the show of
both red and white was limited, the demand for all de-
scriptions ruled dull in the extreme. In some few in•
stances selected Essex white sold at last Monday's prices;
whilst middling qualities gave way fully is per quarter•
Just before the clobe of the market factors were offering
low kinds at is to 2s per quarter less money without
effecting sales; hence the market closed heavily, and A
total clearance was not effected.
The amount of business doing for forward delivery
was unimportant, though the growers lowered their pre-
tensions.

The show of foreign Wheat, fresh as well as ex granary,
was on the increase. The few sates effected in good and •
fine parcels were on somewhat easier terms. All other
qualities met a very dull in

With Oats we were very scantily supplied, yet the de-

mand was heavy, and late rates were with difficulty Stir
ported.
Scarcely any Beans were on show. All deli eriPti"s
sold at full currencies.
The supply of Peas was very limited, whilst the sale
was arm, at late rates.
We had a dull inquiry for both English and foreign
Flour, the show of which was tolerably good.
