MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The
.country markets held on Saturday were fairly sup-
plied with wheat, all kinds of which moved off heavily, at
a decline of from is to 2s per quarter. Fine malting bar-
ley sold slowly, at previous rates ; but grinding and dis-
tilling sorts gave way is per quarter. Malt supported pre-
vious quotations ; but oats, beans, peas, and flour had a
downward tendency.
Most of the Continental markets have been in a sluggish
state, owing to the want of orders from this side. In
prices, however, very little change has taken place. The
demand for wheat and flour in the United States has fallen
off.

The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
was very moderate. From abroad we received 16,032
quarters of wheat, 2,730 barley, 17,394 oats, 1,052 beans,
83 peas, 648 tares, 5,454 linseed, 2,637 rapeseed, 110 mus-
tard seed, 20 sundry seeds, 718 sacks and 3,640 barrels of
flour.

The quantity of wheat received fresh up to this morn-
ing's market from Essex and Kent, coastwise, was very
moderate, and in middling condition. From the East
coast a few parcels. came to hand ; but the receipts, by
land carriage, wore very limited. The show of samples of
both red and white was small, and, notwithstanding that
the attendance of both town and country millers was cow-
paratively trifling, there was rather more disposition
evinced to effect purchases. The demand for most kinds
was, therefore, steady, at prices quite equal to those paid
on Monday last, and a fair clearance of all good qualities
was effected.

For forward delivery very little was doing, at late prices.
The growers were somewhat firmer in their demands.
With foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex. granary, we
were well supplied. Selected and middling parcels were
in moderate request, at full prices, but all other kinds
ruled very dull, at late rates.

-----
Floating cargoes off Falmouth were neglected, yet we
cannot call them cheaper. The arrivals from the westward
have not materially increased.
The show of English barley was moderate, of foreign li-
mited. For malting parcels the inquiry ruled steady, at
full currencies, and there was rather more doing in grind-
ing and distilling sorts, at late figures.
Malt, the supply of which was moderate, changed hands
slowly, at full prices.
The aggregate supply of oats being moderate, the trade
was tolerably firm, at previous currencies.
We have to report a very dull inquiry for beans, the
prices of which were, in some instances, is. per quarter
lower.
The sale for all kinds of peas was heavy, but no actual
decline took place in prices.
The flour trade was heavy, and country marks were of-
fering on lower terms.
