of Fbruary, have approached their close, and the whole
quantity offered has been disposed of at an average ad-
vance compared with the last series, ranging from ld.

tendency was manifested, and the attendance of home
buyers from the manufacturing districts was very large
and constant. The proportion purchased on foreign ac-
count was unusually limited. The following is the
quantity the sales comprised :

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
To-day's market was very moderately supplied wit... 11,
English wheat. Although the attendance of buyers "0:7,
limited the demand for all kinds ruled steady, and a good
clearance was effected at fully Monday's prices. For fo
ward delivery only a trifling amount of business was doing'
yet the growers were very firm in their demands.
The imports of foreign wheat have been very_litill ts.
Most descriptions moved off slowly, and last week's ,111,,%4
tations were barely supported, except for the
re
samples. In floating cargoes very few transactions wore
reported.
Barley—the show of which was limited—sold freely, at
extreme quotations. The malt trade ruled steady'
full prices.
There was very little doing in oats, yet prices' Were
supported.
Beans, peas, and flour were a dull inquiry, but not
cheaper.
