MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The country markets held on Saturday were but 112,1°.
derately supplied with wheat, in which rather a linliw*
business was transacted, at but little alteration in pri(3l:
Fine malting barley was scarce, and quite as dear. Gri.n:
iu,g and distilling sorts commanded

The sale for malt was in a sluggish state ; but oats move'
off steadily, at extreme quotations. Beane, peas, and Mir
were very dull. _

Throughout the Continent all descriptions of probe!,
have ruled very inactive. In prices, however, no matelt
change has taken place. The latest advices from N"
York state that both flour and grain were a dull, inquirl`
owing chiefly to the high freights.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of Englil
grain were very moderate. From abroad, we receio"
17,273 quarters of wheat, 8,275 barley, 4,322 oats, 199
beans, 122 peas, 1,085 tares, 2,529 linseed, 2,131 rapeseed'
438 sundry seeds, 13,310 sacks and 15,371 barrels of flour'
Fresh up to-day, the arrivals of whea‘from Kent, were,,
moderate—from Essex, and the east coast, limited.

land carriage, the receipts were by no means extensio
and the total show of samples of both red and white No!
comparatively limited ; nevertheless, owing to the larP
imports of foreign wheat from the eastward, and the Or'
tinuons heavy arrivals of flour from France, Spain, 0.11
the United States, the demand for all descriptions was
a very inactive state, at, in most instances, a decline I
the quotations obtained on Monday last of is per quartet'
and a total clearance was not effected.
The demand for home-grown wheats for forward delivel,
was heavy ; indeed, scarcely a transaction was reported"'
any description.
The quantity of foreign wheat on offer, fresh as well 0
ex. granary, was extensive. As many of the millers or
peared to be tolerably well in stock, the sale for all descrir
tions was dull in the extreme, at from is to, in some
stances, 2s per quarter beneath the currencies of 31onaN
last.

The arrival of floating cargoes off the coast has soma'
what increased of late ; hence, the sale for them was io •
depressed state, although holders were sellers on low
terms.
Notwithstanding that the supply of barley, was on t°
increase, the inquiry for that article ruled steady, anal
week's prices were well supported. Malting samples Iver
rather scarce.
Malt—the supply of which was tolerably good—moved
off slowly, but no decline was submitted to in the qu°tr
tion s.

We were fairly supplied with oats ; yet the demand vi°
tolerably steady at late rates.
All kinds of beans sold slowly on former terms.
In peas, very few transactions took place, at late Or
rencies.

The flour trade was very dull, and to effect sales, iTil.
,
porters were compelled to submit to lower terms.
