MARK RT NEWS-:(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The country markets held on Saturday were but mo-
derately supplied with wheat, in which rather a limited"
business was transacted, at but little alteration in prices.-
Fine malting barley was scarce, and quite as dear. Grind-
ing and distilling sorts commanded very little attention.
The sale for malt was in a sluggish state ; but oats moved-
off steadily, at extreme quotations. Beans, peas, and flour
were very dull.
Throughout the Continent all descriptions of produce
have ruled very inactive. In prices, however, no material:
change has taken place. The latest advices from New
York state that both flour and grain were a dull inquiry,
owing chiefly to the high freights.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English.
grain were very moderate. From abroad, we received.
17,273 quarters of wheat, 8,275 barley, 4,322 oats, 1993
beans, 122 peas, 1,085 tares, 2,529 linseed, 2,131 rapeseed.-
438 sundry seeds, 13,310 sacks and 15,371 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to-day, the arrivals of wheat, from Kent, were
Essex, and the east coast, limited. BT
land carriage, the receipts were -by no means extensive,.
and the total show of samples of both red and white was-
comparatively limited ; nevertheless, owing to the larger
imports of foreign wheat from the eastward, and the con—
tinuous heavy arrivals of flour from France, Spain, and
the United States, the demand for all descriptions was in
a very inactive state, at, in most instances, a decline;
the quotations obtained on Monday last of is per quarter,
and a total clearance was not effected.
The demand for home-grown wheats for forward deli:7er/.
was heavy ' • indeed, scarcely a transaction was reported iA
any description.
The quantity of foreign wheat on offer, fresh as well as
ex. granary, was extensive. As many of the millers ap—
peared to be tolerably well in stock, the sale for all descrip-
tions was dull in the extreme, at from is to, in some in--
stances, 2s per quarter beneath the currencies of Monday
last.

The arrival of floating cargoes off the coast has some-
what increased of late ; hence, the sale for them was ill
depressed state, although holders were sellers on lolver
terms.

Notwithstanding that the supply of barley, was on the'
increase, the inquiry for that article ruled steady, and last'
week's prices were well supported. Malting samples were
rather scarce.
Malt—the supply of which was tolerably good—moped
off slowly, but no decline was submitted to in the quo'kee-
tions.
We were fairly supplied with oats ; yet the demand v
tolerably steady at late rates.
All kinds of beans sold slowly on former terms.
In peas, very few transactions took place, at late cue
rencies.

The flour trade was very dull, and to effect sales,
porters were compelled to submit to lower terms.
