MABKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
rather scantily supplied with wheat, yet the demand for all
kinds ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations'of from
3s to 4s per quarter. Barley was dull, and lower to pur-
chase. All other articles commanded very little attention.
,The continental markets have been steady for most, grain..
The latest advices from New York state that both grain
and flour were in good request on higher terms.
Very limited supplies of English grain were received up
to our market last week. From abroad, the imports were
24,351 quarters of wheat, 3,924 barley, 37 beans, 11 tares,
4,22 linseed, 5,359 rapeseed, 150 mustard seed, 314 sun-
dry seeds, 2,500 sacks, and 16,226 barrels of flour.
Coastwise from Essex, Kent, &c., the arrivals of wheat
fresh up, to-day, were very limited. From the east coast
scarcely any supply reached us; whilst the receipts by land
carriage were trifling. Notwithstanding that the show of.
samples was small, the demand for all kinds, owing to the
continuous arrivals from abroad, was in a very inactive
state ; indeed, in some instances prices were almost nomi-
nal, yet they may be quoted from is to 2s per quarter
beneath Monday last.

For forward delivery next to nothing was doing.

We were well supplied with foreign wheat, fresh as well
as ex granary. Millers operated with extreme caution ;
hence the amount of business doing was limited, and prices
were from 2s to, in some instances, 3s per quarter beneath
the rates of Monday last.

For floating cargoes there was little or no inquiry.
Fine barley was comparatively scarce, and in moderate
request at full prices. Low and middling parcels sold
slowly, and the currencies had a downward tendency.
The inquiry for malt was heavy, but we have no actual
decline to notice in the quotations.

The supply of oats was moderate, and a fair business
was doing, at late rates.
Beans and peas were in short supply and sluggish re-
quest, at last week's currency.
We had a dull sale for all kinds of flour, and American
parcels were fully is per barrel lower.
