MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The leading country markets held on Saturday were :bn.
moderately supplied with wheat, in which only a limited
business was transacted, on somewhat easier terms. Fine
barley realised full currencies ; but other kinds were
slow sale. The value of malt was well supported. In all
other kinds of grain, including flour, very little was
doing. Most of the continental markets have been in
a very inactive state. In prices, however, no material
change has taken place. The latest accounts from the United
States are to the effect that flour was in fair request, at
full currencies.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English
grain were very moderate. From abroad we received
10,936 quarters of wheat, 2,410 barley, 3,864 oats, 2,495
beans, 1,256 tares, 10,294 linseed, 3,499 rapeseed, 427 eue.
dry seeds, 9,202 sacks and 17,060 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to-day from Essex and Bent the arrivals of
wheat were on a very moderate scale, and in but middling
condition. From the east coast the supply was limited,
but we had a fair sprinkling of red qualities from the mid'
land counties per railway. Notwithstanding that the ell
of samples was by no means extensive, the demands for
kinds, owing to the comparatively small number of buyers
in attendance, and the continuous imports of foreign flour'
was in a very inactive state. In the general quotations,
however, no change took, place, although damp pools
were in some instances offering on easier terms, to save de-
murrage.
For forward delivery very few transactions took Place'
Some of the growers were less firm in their demands.
With foreign wheat, we were tolerably well, but not to
say heavily supplied. Good heavy qualities sold slowly,
at last week's currency. In all other kinds, very little vie°
doing, at barely late rates.
Since our last, a larger business has been doing in Leet„.

The show of both English and foreign barley was ye/

prices.

currencies. In other kinds, comparatively little was doiPg•
