CORN EXCHANGE.

The country markets held on Saturday were in a de-
pmssed state for all kinds of wheat, the value of which
xe way from 2s. to 4s. per quarter. Barley moved off
broavily, at ls. to 2s. per quarter less nioney; and all other
articles of grain were offering on lower terms. The flour
'trade was heavy, at 2s. to 3s. per sack decline.
The whole of the continental markets have ruled very
gull since our last, and the quotations have had a down-
ward tendency. The latest advices from New York state
-that both wheat and flour were offering on lower terms.
Very moderate supplies of English grain were received
up to cur markets last week. The imports were very ex-
tensive, viz., 109,368 quarters of wheat, 21,145 barley,
.90,618 oats, 1,074 beans,tl,472 peas, 728 tares, 100 linseed,
435 re.pesee(l, 48 sundry seeds, 638 sacks, and 2,677 barrels
.of flour.

Fresh up, to-day, from Essex, the receipts of wheat,
coastwise, were on a very limited scale, but in fair average
condition. From Kent, the arrivals were slightly on the
increase; but the supply by land carriage was small.
,Although the show of samples was trifling, the demand for
a kinds, owing to the immense importations from abroad,
and the limited attendance of millers, was dull in the ex-
treme, and to have effected sales, is to 24 per quarter less
money must have been submitted to by tho factors.
For forward delivery, scarcely a transaction took place.
The show of foreign wheat was immense. The greatest
difficulty was experienced in making sellers at any price.
The few transactions reported were at is to 2s per quarter
kis money, and some of the important were sellers at a
decline of 2s to 3s per quarter to save demurrage.
Floating cargoes were completely neglected. The arri-
vals off the coast have been mostly ordered round.
We were heavily supplied with barley, all kinds of
whioh sold slowly, at is to 2s per quarter decline. Malt
was quite is cheaper than on Monday Isst.
There was rather an extensive business done in oats, at
Is per quarter under the rates current on Monday last.
The supply of foreign was very largo.
Beans commanded very little attention, and prices were
rather drooping.
Ir. peas scarcely any business was doing, on former
terms. - - -

!The flour trade was heavy, and prices had a downward
tazdency.
