MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

- ---------.__.
Very moderate supplies of wheat were on sale in the
large country markets held on Saturday. The demand
ruled steady at an advance of from is to 2s per quarter.
Barley was in improved request, and the turn dearer.
Malt and 'oats, as well as flour, were firm. In other ar-
ticles very little was doing. The latest accounts from
New York state that flour was rather lower, but that
wheat was in improved request. The continental markets
have continued very firm.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain
were but moderate. From abroad we received 33,660
quarters of wheat, 8,809 barley, 16,040 oats, 22 beans, 970
peas, 16,639 linseed, 256 rapeseed, 56 mustard seed, 1,846
sundry seeds, 647 sacks and 14,311 barrels of flour.
The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to this morning's
market, coastwise from Essex and Kent, were very mo-
derate, and in but middling condition. From the East
coast scarcely any supply reached us, and the receipts by
carriage were comparatively small. As the attend-
ance of country buyers was large, the demand for all kinds
of English wheat ruled active, at an advance in the prices
of Monday last of from 33 to 4s per quarter. In some few
nstances 53 per quarter more money was realised.
Notwithstanding that the show of foreign wheat was
good, there was an improved demand for that article, the
currencies of which rose from 3s to 4s per quarter, com-
pared with this day se'nnight. Floating cargoes were in
request and dearer. Polish Odessa, 62s to 635; Bordianski,
67s to 68s ; Taganrog Ghirka, 67s ; and Galatz, 55s to 56s
per quarter, all charges included.
We had a fair supply of barley, which moved off steadily,
at is per quarter more money.
Malt was in but moderate supply, and steady request, at
very full prices.
The show of oats was large, yet the trade was active, at
is per quarter more money.
Both beans and peas were quite as dear as on Monday
last. Indian corn was firm.

The flour trade was active. American parcels produced
2s per barrel, and English, 3s to 5s per sack more money.
