the " house " we have not heard.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DA Y. )

CORN EXCHANGE.

The present week's arrival of English wheat up to our
market, coastwise, have been on a moderato scale—they
having been confined to 3,020 quarters, and in very inferior
condition. Fresh up, this morning, the supply by land
carriage was limited ; hence the show of samples was
trifling. The attendance of buyers being small, the de-
mand was in a sluggish state. In prices, however, we
have no change to notice. For forward delivery next to
nothing was doing. The imports of foreign wheat have
been only 1,410 quarters. Good heavy parces sold slowly,
at full currencies. In all other kinds next to nothing was
doing. Floating cargoes met a dull inquiry, at barely late
rates.

Fine malting barley was very scarce, and quite as dear
ae on Monday. Grinding and distilling sorts sold at late
rates.

The demand for malt was tolerably fine, at full cur.
rencies.

We had a very slow sale for oats, the prices of which
were with difficulty supported.
Beans, peas, and flour met a very dull inquiry.
