MARKET NEWS,-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were very
moderately supplied with home grown wheats ' • neverthe-
less, the demand for all kinds was in a sluggish state, and
prices had a downward tendency. Barley and malt—the
show of which was limited—sold slowly, on previous terms.
In oats, very little was doing ; but beans and peas were
quite as dear. Flour was very dull.
The latest accounts from New York state that the de-
mand for grain and flour was in a very inactive state, on
previous terms. Nearly the whole of the continental mar-
kets has continued dull, yet the shipments to England have
been extensive.
The Black Sea markets have been drooping.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last
week, were on the increase. From abroad, we received
28,606 quarters of wheat, 13,172 of barley, 25,353 oats,
89 peas, 87 tares, 2,657 linseed, 2,003 refined, 35 mustard
seed, 532 sundry seeds, and 1,404 sacks, and 17,362 barrels
of flour.
An unusually short supply of wheat was received fresh
up to this morning's market coastwise from Kent and
Essex. From tke east coast the arrivals were trifling in
the extreme, and there was a falling off in the receipts by
land carriage ; hence the show of samples of both red and
white was very limited, but in full average condition.
Notwithstanding that the attendance of both town and
country millers was far from extensive, the demand for
all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled steady, and a
good clearance was effected at fully last Monday's decline
in the quotations.
The fall in the local markets not having been so exten-
sive as here during the present month, the growers were
firm, but the business doing for forward delivery was
limited.
We were very extensively supplied with foreign% wheat,
fresh as well as ox-granary. Selected samples of both red
and white were in somewhat improved request, at full
prices. Low and middling kinds sold slowly, but no
change took place in the quotations.
Floating cargoes sold heavily, nevertheless previous rates
were supported. The arrivals off Falmouth have not been
large.
Fine English barley was very scarce.; whilst the sale for
it was steady, at full 'quotations. Grinding and distilling
parcels of foreign moved off slowly, on former terms.
Malt—the show of which was but moderate— sold at
last week's currency.
Very few home grown oats were brought forward, but
the supply of foreign was large. Sales progressed slowly,
yet prices were supported.
Beans were in short supply and steady demand, at full
currencies. _ _ .

The sale for peas was firm, at late rates. White boilers
were the turn dearer. _ _

Very little English flour was on offer, but the supply of
foreign was large. The trade was heavy, at barely sta-
tionary prices.
