MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The pretent week's arrival of English wheat up to our
market coastwise has amounted to 4,730 quarters, wholly
from Essex, Kent, and Lincolnshire, and in greatly im-
proved condition. Fresh up to-day, the receipts by land
lcuriage were but moderate ; yet the show of samples of
ooth red and white was on the increase. Owing chiefly to
the increased supplies of foreign flo-hr on offer, the demand
for all kinds of wheat of home produce was in a sluggish
state,
- but we have no change to notice in the quotations.
For forward delivery next to nothingwas doing.
Fine foreign wheats sold slowly aefull currencies. Low
and middlin qualities were very dull, and. the turn lower.
cargoes Floating off Falmouth commanded very little
attention.
f The show of English barley was moderate, but that of
I,,reign was very limited. The trade ruled steady, and
la
rates were freely supported.
We had a steady but not to say brisk inquiry' for malt,
at fall currencies.
b The arrivals of Irish oats haTe exceeded 12,000 quarters,
tit those of English and foreign have been limited. Sales
I%°gressed slowly, on former terms.
"'eat's, peas, and flour, met a dull inquiry, at barely
stationary prices.
