MARKET IVEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supplies of English wheat on sale, in most of the
country markets held on Saturday, were moderate. All
kinds sold readily, and prices advanced is to 2s per quar-
ter. Barley—the show of which was rather on the in-
crease—commanded a brisk inquiry, at fully is per quarter
more money. Malt was firm, but oats wore rather neglected.
Beans, poas, and flour sold at very full prices.
The Continental markets have been firm for most articles,
but the business doing for shipment to .England is small.
Accounts from New York to the 4th inst. state that both
wheat and flour were dull, and drooping in price. Very
moderate supplies of English grain arrived up to our market
last week. Tho imports of foreign were only 1,345 quar-
ters of wheat, 5,000 barley, 7,533 oats, 1,361 beans, 1,065
peas, 4,129 linsee I, 302 rape seed, 79 mustard seed, 840
sundry seeds, and five barrels of flour.

The arrivals of English wheat fresh up Ito our market
to-day coastwise and by laad carriage wore moderato and
in good condition. As the attendance of millers was on
the increase there was rather a brisk demand for all kinds
of home grown wheat at au advance in the quotations ob-
tained on Monday last of 4s per quarter, and the whole of
the supply changed hands. It is stated that millers almost
generally are by no means heavily stocked, notwithstanding
the late extensive sales.

Wo were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied
with foreign wheat. The trade was decidedly active, and
a good business was transacted in all descriptions, at 4s.

The few floating cargoes off Fal►nouth were held for
