CORN EXCHANGE.

There was a moderate business doing in wheat in most
of the country markets held on Saturday, and both red and
white qualities realised about previous currencies. Spring
corn rnet a dull inquiry ; but there was a slight improvc-
'silent in the sale for flour,

Very little change has taken place in the grain trade
throughout the Continent; but the transactions for spring
shipment have been on a limited scale. In America, pro-
duce generally has sold at frill quotations.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were small. From abroad we received 37,510 qrs of wheat;
5,355 barley ; 9,613 oats ; 740 beans ; 660 peas ; 115 tares;
4,254 linseed ; 1,838 rapet.eed ; 110 sundry seeds; and
75,704 barrels of flour.

The fresh arrivals of English wheat, both from Essex
and Kent, to this morning's market were very moderate,
but the general condition of the samples was by no means
good. The demand, however, for all qualities ruled de-
cidedly inactive ; neverthess a fair clearance was effected at
the close of busine s, and, compared with Monday last, no
quotable change took place in the currencies.

The show of samples of foreign wheat was large, and
sales progressed slowly in all descriptions, yet prices, on the
whole, were fairly supported.
Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate, but by no
means active, request, at late rates.

Really fine samples of malting barley were firm, and the
quotations were well maintained. Secondary and inferior
qualities, however, as well as grinding and distilling sorts,
were a dull inquiry, at barely stationary prices.
In malt a limited business was transacted, on former
terms.

Good and fine oats were in steady demand at quite previ-
*us rates, but inferior qualities were a dull inquiry, at
rather lower prices.
For beans—the supply of which was moderate—there
was a fair demand at late rates.
White peas were dull, at barely previous quotations.
Other kinds, however, ruled steady at late currencies.
Owing to the large arrival of American flour the demand
for town-made and country-made qualities was much re-
stricted. Millers, however, appeared indisposed to make
further concessions in prices. In American barrels a fair
business was transacted, at a slight fall in their value.

quality of most breeds was very good.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 1,720 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses; from other
parts of England, 700 various breeds ; from Scotland 350
Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 150 oxen and
heifers.
The show of sheep was again limited. Downs and half-
breds were in fair request, at full prices, but long wools, in
oonsequence of a continuous decline in the value of rough
fat, were very dull, and prices gave way fully 2d per 81bs.
