MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE —3IONDAY.
Nearly the whole of the provincial markets held on
Saturday were but moderately supplied with English
Wheat, for which the demand ruled steady, at au ad-
vance in the quotations of fully ls. per qnarter. Fine
Foreign Wheats were held firmly, at further enhanct d
rates. Malting Barley was scarce, and ls. higher.
Grinding and distilling sorts, as well as Malt, com-
manded a fair amount of attention. No change took
place in Oats; but both Beans and Peas were the turn
in favour of sellers. Indian Corn and Flour were higher.
The French Markets have been somewhat active for
both Wheat and Flour, at enhanced rates. Those
in the Black Sea may be considered steady. In ship-
ments to England very few sales have taken place up
the Baltic. At Now York, Flour was dearer at the date
of our last advices.
Up to our Market, last week, the arrivals of English
Grain were comparatively small. The Foreign imports
amounted to 7,600 quarters of Wheat, 7,710 Barley,
6,728 Oats, 14,856 Beans, 250 Tares, 767 Linseed, 267
sundry Seeds, 1,723 sacks and 550 barrels of Flour.
The quantity of English Wheat received up to this
morning's market from Essex, coastwise, was moderate,
but that from Kent, Lincolnshire, &c., was compara-
tively small. The prevailing wet weather has materially
effected the condition of most of the samples. By land
carriage from the midland districts, as well as from Nor-
folk, the fresh receipts were rather limited. Notwith-
standing that the show of both red and white qualities
was far from extensive, the demand for all kinds, arising
in a great measure from the absence of the leading
millers, was in a very inactive state. Good dry parcels
sold at the advance obtained on Monday last; but low
and damp parcels moved off slowly, and, is some in-
stances, prices were the turn in favour of buyers.
For forward delivery very few contracts were entered
into.
We were very scantily supplied with really fine
foreign Wheats, but the show of low parcels was on the
increase. The former sold at full currencies, but so
little was doing in the latter that the quotations were
almost nominal.
In floating cargoes no transactions were reported.
Holders in general were firm.
The nominal top price of English Flour was 40s. per
2801bs. The trade was by no means active. The stock
of Foreign Flour held hero is small.
Notwithstanding that the supply of Barley was
tolerably good, the trade, especially for Malting samples,
was decidedly firm, at extreme quotations.
The Malt trade was steady, and late rates wore well
supported.
On the whole, the show of Oat samples was seasonably
good, whilst the trade was inactive at unaltered cur-
rencies.
No change took place in the demand for or value of
Beans. A very largo quantity was On offer from
Alexandria.
White Peas were steady and quite as dear. Grey
and Maple moved off slowly.
