MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The leading country marel on Saturday were ha
moderately supplied with wheat, in which only a limited
business was transacted, on somewhat easier terms. Fine
barley realised full currencies ; but other kinds were a
slow sale. The value of malt was well supported. In all
other kinds of grain, including flour, very little vies
doing. Most of the continental markets have been in
a very inactive state. In pricey, however, no material
change has taken place. The latest accounts from the United
States are to the effect that flour was in fair request, at
full currencies.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English
grain were very moderate. From abroad we reed=
10,936 quarters of wheat, 2,410 barley, 3,864 oats,
beans, 1,256 tares, 10,294 linseed, 3,499 rapeseed, 427 81"1-
dry seeds, 9,202 sacks and 17,060 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to-day from Essex and Kent the arrivals (f
wheat were on a very moderate scale, and in but middling
condition. From the east coast the supply was limited,
but we had a fair sprinkling of red qualities from the mid-
land counties per railway. Notwithstanding that the shoal.
of samples was by no means extensive, the demands for all
kinds, owing to the comparatively small number of buyers
in attendance, and the continuous imports of foreign flour'
was in a very inactive state. In the general quotations,
however, no change took place, although damp Paret
were in some,instances offering on easier terms, to save "
murrage.
For forward delivery very few transactions took Owe.
Some of the growers were less firm in their demands.
With foreign wheat, we were tolerably well, but not to
say heavily supplied. Good heavy qualities sold
at last week's currency. In all other kinds, very little vree
doing, at barely late rates.
Since our last, a larger business has been doing in &at'
ing cargoes off Falmouth; although the arrivals have been
large.
The show of both English and foreign barley was veil
moderate. Selected malting parcels changed hands at Pre'
vious rates. Grinding and distilling sorts moved off slowly
on former terms. •
Rather a large quantity of malt was brought forward
~tiii
yet a steady business was transacted in moat kinds, at 1
prices.
There was a moderate sale for good fresh oats, at full
currencies. In other kinds, comparatively little was doing'
Very few English beans were brought forward, but PI
supply of foreign was good. The trade was in a slugs'
state, on former terms.
TEAS—The supply of which was limited—sold slowly, st
late figures.
The demand for all kinds of flour was heavy, and '
tations were barely supported

There was a decided falling off in the arrivals of hon3e've,
beasts fresh up this morning, and their was no imPTOIId
ment in their weight. The attendance of both tool
country butchers being large, the beef trade ruled bi?

received 1,400 Scots and short horns ; from other par

and from Scotland, 640 horned and polled Scots- 11,1 the
mainder of the supply was derived from abroad, and
