MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Notwithstanding that the show of English wheat in to-
day's market was very moderate, the demand for all kinds
was exceedingly inactive, and to have effected sales lower
prices must have been submitted to.
We were well supplied with foreign wheat, which moved
off heavily, and the quotations had a downward tendency.
In floating curgoes, very few transactions took place.
Barley was dull, and lower to purchase. In malt next
to nothing was doing.
There was a moderate sale for oats, at Monday's
currency.

In beans and peas very few transactions were reported.
Flour was dull, and rather lower.

stated that it had been found neces-
sary to repeal one of the bye-laws, which prohibited the
carrying forward of the votes recorded for any candi-
date beyond the third poll, and to substitute for it one
which would give each candidate the benefit of six
elections, allowing his or her name to remain on the poll-
ing lists for three years. It is also stated that the pre-
sent accommodation was not sufficient in point of room,
as the committee had to use two separate houses for the
objects of the charity ; they had, however, purchased a
Surrey,
and site for a new building near Croydon,
and would commence operations so soon as the building
fund should amount to 5,000/. There were at present
12 vacancies in the number of inmates, which it was in-
tended to fill up from a list of 85 candidates. The re-
port was unanimously adopted, after which the poll was
opened, and continued so for four hours. A scrutiny
then took place, when the chairman announced the names
of those on whom the election had fallen. A vote of
thanks to the chairman terminated the'proceediDgs.
