MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Fresh up to our market, to-day, the arrivals of English
wheat were on a very limited scale, and the show of
samples of both red and white was consequently small.
For all kinds of wheat of home produce the demand ruled
steady, and in some instances Monday's prices were ex-
ceeded for fine qualities. A fair average business was
doing for forward delivery.
The imports of foreign wheat have exceeded 10,000
quarters. The trade was firm, at fully the late advance in
the quotations.
Floating cargoes—the arrival of which off the coast has
been large—sold at extreme currencies.
No English barley was brought forward ; but the show
of foreign was larger. On the whole, the trade ruled very
firm, at last week's currency.
In the value of malt no change took place.
Oats and flour sold readily at extreme rates. In beans
and peas comparatively little was doing.
