RKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY ;

CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
Nearly the whole of the country m.,rkets held on Sa-
turday were seasonably well supplied with Whe'at,
which only a limited business was transacted on some-
what lower terms. Foreign Wheats were held af-Ver-Y
low prices. The icquiry for all kinds of Barley was less
active, and, in some instances, priers gave way is per
quarter. No change was observed in the value of Malt;
but damp parcels of oats were somewhat lower to pur-
chase. Beans and Peas dull; but Indian Corn and Flour
were tolerably firm.
Letters from New York to the 2d instant state that
Prices of both Flour and Grain were on the advance,
with an increasing export demand. In the Baltic ports
the trade has ruled inactive, but firm advices have come
to hand from the Black S. a. The French markets have
become rather firmer.
The arrivals of English Barley and Malt up to our
Market last week were semewhat extensive, and we had
a full average supply of Oats from Scotland. From
abroad we received 4,870 quarters of Wheat; 1,176
1 610 Peas; 223 Tares;
Bade) ; 14,823 Oats; 262 Bean,;
1,806 Lin.ee r 1; 256 napes, Ed; 110 sundry seeds; 330
sacks and 1,904 barrels of Flour.
The quantity of Wheat received fresh up to this
morning's mat ket, coastwise from Essex and Kent, was
very moderate, but we noticed a slight improvement in
the general condition of the samples. Prom Suffolk
very little reached us; whilst the arrivals from the mid-
land counties per railway were not to say large. Not-
withstanding that the stands were by no means exten-
sively supplied, and that the attrndance of both town and
country millers was tolerably good, the amount of
business doing in all kinds of Wheat of home produce
was small, at prices barely equal to those obtained on
Monday last, yet a good clearance was effected towards
the close of the market. For forward delivery very few
transactions took place, although the quotations welt.)
considered somewhat easier.
Very little foreign Wheat was brought forward, but
the show of granaried samples was. tolerably good.
Selected qualities of Dentzig, Rostock, &c., were in fair
request, at full rates of currency. In the middling and
interior kinds we have very few transactions to notice,
yet importers refused to accept lower figures.
Floating cargoes, off the coast, were much neglected
the demand for Holland having fallen off.
We were somewhat extensively supplied with English
Barley, but the show of foreign was moderate. The
trade was very dull. Fine Chevalier parcels gave way
Is, other kinds is to 2s per quarter, and several large
Samples remained unsold.
The supply of Malt was unusually large, hence the
demand was depressed, at barely stationary prices.
The show of Oat samples being larger than for several
weeks past, the demand for that description of produce
wee very inactive and, in some instances, the currencies
were a shade in favour of buyers.
In Beans very little was doing, at ls. per quarter less
money.
The sale for Peas was heavy,• but no material change
was noticed in prices.
Indian Corn, afloat, was held at late rates.
The Flour trade was slow. In prices, however, no
change took place. The quantity of foreign here is
amen.
