MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

- - ---
The leading country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat, in which a full average
business was transacted, and the currencies had an upward
tendency. Barley and malt were in somewhat improved
request. at extreme quotations. Oats, beans, peas, and
flour moved off readily, on higher terms.
In the Continental markets wheat has been in active
request, and prices have advanced fully 2s per quarter.
All spring corn has realised more money. The latest ac-
counts from New York are to the effect that the demand
for flour for export was in a very sluggish state, on former
terms.
The arrivals of English wheat up to our market, last
week, were very limited. From abroad we received
27,14 quarters of wheat, 2,110 barley, 3,433 oats, 2,155
beans, 830 peas, 1,341 tares, 5,776 linseed, 767 rapeseed,
50 sacks and 5,291 barrels of flour.
There was as increased supply of wheat on offer to-day
fresh up from Essex ; but the arrival from Kent, Cam-
bridgeshire, &c., was very limited. By land carriage, the
receipts were comparatively moderate. Notwithstanding
that the show of samples of both red and white was far
from extensive, the demands of all kinds of wheat of home
produce, owing to the inquiry for floating cargoes of
foreign on French and Belgian account have almost ceased,
was in a sluggish state, at last Monday's advance in the
quotations.
The amount of business doing for forward delivery was
trifling ; nevertheless, growers generally were firm, and
refused to make contracts except at very full prices.
There was a slight increase in the supply of foreign
wheat fresh, as well as ex-granary: Good Baltic parcels
moved off steadily, at full currencies. In all other kinds,
very little business was transacted, and the late improve-
ment in value was with difficulty supported.
For floating cargoes—the arrival of which has been ex-
tensive since our last report—there was only a limited in-
quiry. In prices, however, we have no decline to notice.
No English barley was on offer; and the supply of
foreign was limited. The trade ruled steady, at full
currencies.
There-was a fair inquiry for malt, the value of which was
freely supported.
The show of oats being very limited, the oat trade was
rather active, at an improvement in the quotations of
fully 6d. per quarter.
Beans were in short supply, and fair request, at full
prices.
Tho sale for peas was fir n, at previous rates.
A steady business was transacted in English and foreign
flour, at the late advance.
