MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY).

CORN EXCHANGE.
Most of the provincial markets held on Saturday were
rather scantily supplied with wheat, yet the demand ruled
heavy, and prices had a downward tendency. Barley and
malt commanded very little attention. Oats, beans, peas,
and flour were the turn in favour of buyers.
Advices from New York to the 4th inst. state that float
was in improved request, and rather dearer. Grain, how•
ever, was dull in sale. Most of the continental markets
have continued inactive.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week.
were limited. The imports from abroad amounted to
28,293 quarters of wheat, 7,334 barley, 28,144 oats, 500
beans, 147 peas, 1,247 linseed, 84 sundry seeds, 1,805 sacks
and 4,883 barrels of ftour.
Fresh up to our market, to-day, the arrivals of wheat,
coastwise from Essex and Kent, were on a very limited
scale, and the receipts from other quarters were trifling.
By land carriage, scarcely any supply reached us; how-
ever, the show of samples of both red and white was
small. Although there were several country buyers in
attendance, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home
produce was excessively heavy, at a decline in the prices
of Monday last of from is to fully 2s per quarter.
For forward delivery, next to nothing was doing, al.
though there were offers at 3s per quarter leas money.
We were heavily supplied with foreign wheat. Millers,
generally, purchased for immediate wants, and no progress
could be made in sales except at a decline of from la. to
2s. per quarter, compared with this day se'nnight.
All floating cargoes were dull, and lower to purchase.
Barb'', the supply of which was good, moved off heavily,
and prices had a downward tendency.
We had a very dull sale for malt, the prices of which
were rather in favour of buyers.
The show of oats was extensive. - G-ood sound corn mil*
lizei previous rates, but inferior parcels were 6d. per
quarter lower.

There was a fair sale for beans, at very full currencies.
We had very little doing in peas, on lower terms.
There was a dull sale for flour, and the quotations ruled
somewhat easier than on Monday last. •
