MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were
rather scantily supplied with wheat. Most kinds sold
steadily, and prices had an upward tendency. There was
more inquiry for barley and oats, at full quotations ' • but
beans and peas were offering on lower terms. The flour
trade was tolerably firm.
On the Continent the demand for wheat and flour has
been rather inactive of late ; in prices, however, no mate-
rial change has taken place. Advices from New York to
the 16th inst. state that flour was very dull, and 12i cents
per barrel lower.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
was very moderate. From abroad we received 18,646
quarters of wheat, 7,705 barley, 8,698 oats, 2,062 beans,
2.2 peas, 276 tares, 1,306 linseed, 4,760 rapeseed, 967 sundry
seeds, 5,545 sacks and 21,249 barrels of flour.
Very moderate supplies of English wheat were received
fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise and by land
carriage, whilst the condition of most of the samples was
by no means good. The market opened firmly for all
kinds of wheat of home produce, and, as the attendance of
country buyers increased, the trade became healthy, at, in
some instances, an advance in the quotations of Monday
last of is per qr. At that improvement, a fair amount of
business was transacted.
For forward delivery there was an improved inquiry,
and the currencies were fully supported.
Notwithstanding that we were well supplied with foreign
wheat, especially with American qualities, the trade was
Arm, and transactions in good Baltic parcels were reported
at is per quarter above last Monday's currency. About
60 vessels laden with wheat, barley, and beans, have
reached Falmouth since the beginning of last week. Nearly
the whole have changed hands, at very full prices.
With barley, both English and foreign, we were well
supplied ; yet the inquiry for all kinds ruled steady, and
the quotations had an upward tendency.
The show of malt was good, yet there was rather more
inquiry for that article, at full currencies.
There was an improved sale for both English and Irish
oats. Good sound corn was the turn in favour of sellers.
The supply of beans was moderate. The transactions
were on the increase, at full prices.
The sale for peas was steady, at previous rates.
There was more business doing in flour, at extreme
quotations.
