MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
The present week's arrival of English Wheat, coast-
wise, has been moderate, viz., 3,280 quarters. Fresh up
to-day, by land carriage, the receipts of that grain were
comparatively small; hence, the show of samples Of
both red and white was limited. The attendance of
both town and country millers was far from extensive;
whilst the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home
produce was very inactive, at Monday's prices. The
trausacqous for forward delivery were unimportant
From abroad, 3 780 quarters of Wheat have come to
hand. We had a moderate inquiry for selected sam-
ples, at late rates, and a few low qualities in granary
as well as afloat, changed hands for shipment to Holln.
The show of Barley was seasonably good, but that c?t
malting parcels was small. On the whole, a fair b
uil:
nest' was doing, at late rates. We were well supPlica
with Malt, for which the inquiry was less active, but
00
1
decline was submitted to in prices. Oats were
endil
moderate request at late figure-t. Beans, Peas, Low
Indian Corn commanded very little attention.
qualities of Flour were very dull; but the bestt°Wl2-
made was quite as dear.
