CORN EXCHANGE.

The supplies of wheat on sale in the leading country
markets held on Saturday were very moderate. On the
whole, there was an improved demand for most kinds, and
prices were fairly supported. Barley met a very dull in-
quiry, on lower terms. All other spring corn was offering
on easier terms. In flour very little was doing. The con-
tinental markets have been rather firmer of late. In
Holland, prices are relatively higher than in this country.
At Odessa, large shipments of wheat continue to be made
to France and the ➢Tediterranean.

The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were large, with the exception of barley. From abroad,
we received 56,574 qrs. of wheat, 7,774 of barley, 20,109
oats, 2,115 beans, 3,655 peas, 627 tares, 2,029 linseed, 5,355
rapeseed, 237 mustard seed, 777 sundry seeds, 60 sacks and
207 barrels of flour.

The arrivals of wheat, coastwise from Essex and Kent,
fresh up to this morning's market, were very moderate,'and
in but middling condition. From other quarters the re-
ceipts were small, and those by land carriage were trifling.
The show of samples of both red and white being limited,
and the attendance of buyers tolerably good, the demand
for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled firm, and a
good clearance of the best parcels was effected, at prices
fully equal to those obtained on Monday last. There was
rather more doing for forward delivery.
The show of really fine foreign wheats was but moderate
but that of low Baltic parcels was very extensive. For all
descriptions there was an improved inquiry, and full ave-
rage sales took place, at the extreme rates of last week.
Several floating cargoes changed hands on continental
account. Holders were, therefore, very firm.
Although the supply of barley was large, the demand for
that grain ruled steady, and prices were well supported.
We had a slow sale for malt. In prices no change took
place.

There was only a moderate show of oats. Old corn was
held on rather higher terms, but new parcels were neglected,
on former currencies.

The sale for beans was firmer than last week. In prices
no change took place.

The demand for peas was steady, at late rates.
There was rather more doing in flour, the prices of which
were well supported.

Since our last report the arrivals of country killed meat
have been on an extensive scale. To-day the supply on
