CORN EXuii ANGE.
Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but
,nockrately supplied with wheat. For most kinds there
was a steady demand, and prices were well supported.
Parley was very dull, add lower to purchase. In otber
kinds of spring corn, including flour, very little business
was transacted.

The French markets are dull and drooping, with in•
creased supplies of wheat and flour on offer. In the lower
Baltic ports only a limited business is doing on English
,ecount. Prices, however, were very high. From New
York we learn that steady shipments of grain and flour
have been made to England.
The receipts of English grain up to our market last week,
.vere very moderate. From abroad we received 5,502
quarters of wheat, 20,213 oats, 430 beans, 1,458 peas, 16
tares, 888 linseed, 1,123 rapeseed, 942 sundry seeds, and
4,158 sacks of flour.

The arrivals of wheat up to our market to-day from
Essex and Kent, coastwise, were very moderate, but in
fair average condition. The receipts from quarters bl
land carriage were slightly on the increase, compared with
Monday last. On the whole there was a fair sprinkling
uf samples, and the demand for most qualities ruled steady
at, in most transactions, an improvement in the quotations
realised on Monday last of from is to 2s per quarter. Tbe
attendance of both town and country buyers was rather
on the increase.

The quantity of foreign wheat on show was by no means
extensive. The inquiry for most descriptions was confined
to immediate wants, yet late rates were freely supported.
All floating cargoes of grain were in request, at the ex'
treme rates of last week.

The supply of both English and foreign barley was very
moderate. Good heavy qualities sold to a fair extent,
at full prices. Inferior kinds were dull, but without
change iu price.
We had a steady sale for malt, at very full prices.
The oat trade was tolerably firm. In the quotations
very little change took place.
There was a steady sale for beans, at extreme rates.
White peas were dull, and 2s. cheaper, but the value
of grey and Maple was well s pported.
The flour trade was by no means active, at last week'.
