MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN ECHANGE.
Nearly the whole of the cuntry markets held on Satur-
day were reasonably well supplied with wheat, the demand
for which ruled heavy, at a decline in prices at from 2s to
38 per quarter. In barley, very little was doing. Malt
supported previous rates ; but oats, beans, peas, and 11°11r'
were lower to purchn s i.
The near continental markets have been less active, but
those in the Black Sea have ruled brisk for wheat,' on
higher terms. The latest accounts from New York state
that both grain and flour were in improved request, at en-
hanced currencies.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were on the increase. From abroad we received 29,293
qui t3rs of wheat, 5,100 barley, 51,792 oats, 211 peas, 835
linseed, 255 rapeseed, and 3,161 seeds, including Indian
corn. No foreign flour came to hand.
_
Fresh up to-4a, the receipts of wheat from Essex and
Kent were very moderate • but amongst them were about
50 quarters of the present' year's growth from the former
"fttY, in fair average condition. The show of last week's
unsold samples was large, owing to which, the compara-
tively Atrial' number of buyers in attendance, and the pre-
vailing fine weather for harvest work, the demand for all
kinds ruled exceedingly heavy, at a decline in the quota-
tbns obtained on thii4 day se'nnigbt of from is to 2s per
quarter. By land carriage the supply was but moderate,
aLd a total clearance was not effected.
For forward delivery, only a moderate business was
transacted, at drooping prices.
With foreign wheat we were rather extensively supplied.
Thesale for that article ruled dull, and prices gave way
fully i s
per quarter.
The arrivals of floating cargoes off the coast from the
westward has been trifling. 'Very few sales have, come
cllentlY3 taken place; nevertheless, owing to the advanced
dquotations in Italy, holders have been very firm in their
emands.
the small parcel of new English barley was on offer, and
ue spply of foreign was tolerably good. The trade was
'll a° ery inactive state, and the quotations were the turn
in favour of buyers.
Malt moved off slowly, but no change took place in its
value.
All kinds of oats were in very large supply, and the trade
ruled heavy, at a fall in the quotations of is per quarter.
114 had a very inactive demand for beans, the prices of
which gave way is per qr.
The sale for peas was very dull, at is per qr. less money.
Indian corn was less active than for some time past.
bThe flour trade was very dull, and the quotations of
