MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.).

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supplies of wheat brought forward in the leading
country markets held on Saturday, were but moderate,
and an active business was transacted, at an advance of
from is to 2s per quarter. In barley and malt, very few
transactions took place. There was a full average sale for
oats and flour, but beans and peas were ne,,glected.
Most of the continental markets have ruled firm for grain,
but our latest advices from New York state that both
wheat and flour were dull, and rather lower to purchase.
The supplies were on the increase.
During last week, the arrivals of English grain up to our
market were very moderate. From abroad the imports
amounted to 37,751 quarters of wheat, 3,295 barley, 28,164
oats, 1,475 beans, 13 tares, 5,803 linseed, 30 rape seed, 4
mustard seed, 15 sundry seeds, and 2,180 barrels of flour.
A very limited supply of wheat was received fresh up to
this morning's market coastwise from Essex and Kent.
Amongst it, we observed about 100 quarters of the present
year's growth, the quality of which, from its having been
cut prematurely, was rather soft. Kentish red sold at
from 545 to 58s, and white Talavera, from Essex, 60s to
65s per quarter. For old wheats, the demand, owing to
purchases of grain and flour having been effected on
French account, ruled active, at an advanced in the quota-
tions paid on Monday lash, of from 2s to 3s per quarter,
and a clearance was easily effected. For forward delivery,
there was an improved inquiry, and the currencies ad-
vanced 2s per quarter.

Notwitlistaulling that the show of foreign wheat was
rather extensive, that article was in improved request,
and 2s per quarter dearer than on this day se'nnight.
Several parcels were sold for France, and one or two float-
ing cargoes from the westward were taken for the same
destination on rather higher terms. The arrivals during
the week were under 20 cargoes.

The show of new Enghsh barley was small—that of
foreign moderate. Sales progressed steadily at full cur-
rencies. We had only a moderate supply of malt on offer.
All kinds moved off steadily, at very full prices.
Although the aggregate supply of oats was good, a steady
business was transacted, at a rise of quite 6d. per quarter.
Beans, the show of which was rather on the increase,
moved off slowly, yet prices were supported.
In the value of old peas no change took place. New
white boilers sold at from 40s. to 455. ; and new grey, 38s.
to 40s. per quarter.
The flour trade was active, and 2,000 barrels of American
changed hands for shipment to France, at a rise of ls. per
barrel. .
