kIARKET NE WS.-(TUTS DAY,

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
Nearly the whole of the country tn4rkets h&c] on Sa-
turday were seasonably well supplied with Wheat, in
which only a limited business was tramacted on some-
what lower terms. Foreio Wheats were held at very
low prices. The inquiry fur all kinds of Barley was less
active, and, some instances, prices gave, way 18 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 rub d inactive, but firm adviees have Come
to hand from the Black Sea. The French markets havo
&come rather firmer.
The arrivals of English Barley and Malt up to our
market last week were somewhat extensive, and we had
is full average supply of Oats from Smiand. From
abroad we received 4,870 quarters of Wheat; 1,176
Barley; 14,823 Oats; 262 Beans; 1,610 Peas; 223 Tares;
1,806 Linseed; 256 Rapeseed; 110 sundry seeds; 330
sacks and 1,904 buire:s of Flour.

The quantity of Wheat received fresh uo to this
morning's market, coastwise from Essex and Kent, was
very moderate, but we noticed a slight improvement in
the general condition of the samples. From 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 attendance 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 tho market. For forward delivery very few
transactions took place, although the quotations were
considered somewhat easier.
Very little foreign Wheat was brought forward, but
the show of granaried samples was tolerably good.
Selected qualities of Dantzig, Rostock, &c., were in fair
request, at full rates of currency. In the middling and
inhaler 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
ls, other kinds Is to 2A per quarter, and several large
samples remained unsold.

The supply of Malt was unusually large, hence the
densaud 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
Was 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, afl.tat, was held at late rates.
The Flour trade was slow. In prices, however, no
change took place. The quantity of foreign here is
small.
