MARKET

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of tho country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat. Selected samples were
mostly disposed of at full prices but all other kinds were

very ;lull, and a shade lower. Fine barley was scarce, and
held for more money. In grinding and distilling sorts next
to nothing was doing. Malt was very dull, but not lower.
Beans and peas supported previous rates ; but flour was
offering on easier terms. _ _

The Continental markets have been in a very inactive
state for most articles of grain. In the Black Sea ports
large transactions have taken place in grain at high rates.
The demand for flour in the United States has ruled active,
at enhanced currencies.

Very moderate supplies of English grain were received
up to our market last week. The imports from abroad
consisted of 5,020 quarters of wheat, 51 oats, 2,265 beans,
177 peas, 4 tares, 927 linseed, 863 rapeseed, 204 sundry
seeds, 1,361 sacks and 7,010 barrels of flour.
Fresh up, to-day, coastwise, from Essex, Kent, and
Lincolnshire, the arrivals of wheat were on a very limited
scale, and greatly out of condition. By land carriage the
receipts were trifling. The show of samples of both red
and white was small ; nevertheless, owing, in some mea-
sure, to the pressure of foreign flour, the demand for all
descriptions was in a very sluggish state. A good clear-
ance of the fine picked qualities was effected, at full prices;
but a portion of the damp sorts remained unsold, although
offered on rather easier terms. A large, portion of the
supply from Kent was wholly unfit for millers' purposes,
without a larger admixture of dry foreign.
For forward delivery we had very few inquiries, not-
withstanding that the growers were mostly sellers on lower
terms.
With fresh foreign wheat the market was very mode-
rately supplied, but we had a fer show of granaried
parcels. Medium parcels sold a full currencies, partly
for shipment coastwise. All other kinds moved off slowly,
but we have no change to notice in their value.
Floating cargoes commanded very little attention, yet
holders generally were firm ix their demands.
Fine barley was very scarce, and quite as dear as last
week. Grinding and distilling sorts were heavy, at barely
stationary prices. The stock of foreign barley here is
trifling.
Malt, the show of which was good, moved off sldwly,
but we have no alteration to quote in prices.
The quantity of oats on offer was unusually small. The
dealers, consequently, purchased for immediate wants
only. The quotations were well supported.
Beans were quite as dear as last week, but the business
doing was very limited.
In peas very few tranactions took place, at late figures.
Flour met a very dull inquiry, and prices were the turn
lower.
