MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat, in which a fair average
business was transacted, and the quotations had an up-
ward tendency. Barley, the supply of which was very
limited, moved off steadily, at extreme rates. Malt, oats,
peas, and flour ruled very firm, whilst the value of beans
advanced fully is per qr.
On the Continent there has been an improved sale for
most articles of grain, the value of which has had an up-
ward tendency. In the United States the demand for
wheat and flour has ruled inactive.
The arrival of English grain up to our market last week
were very limited. From abroad we received 15,312 qrs.
of wheat, 8,636 oats, 1,665 beans, 10 peas, 55 tares, 6,557
linseed, 4,707 rapeseed, 25 sundry seeds, 86 sacks and 1,634
brls of flour.
The supply of wheat received fresh up to our market
this morning, coastwise from Essex and Kent, was very
moderate, but in fair average condition. From the east
coast the arrivals were extremely limited, and the receipts
by land carriage from the midland districts were small.
Notwithstanding that the stands exhibited a very mode-
rate number of samples of both red and white, the demand
was less active than for some time past ; indeed, for some
time after the opening of the market, very little business
was transacted in any transactions; hence we consider the
trade rather dull, at last Monday's prices. There were but
few inquiries for forward delivery parcels, nevertheless
the growers were firm in their demands.
With foreign wheat we were but moderately supplied.
On the whole, a full average business was doing in Baltic
parcels for the east coast, at full quotations. Most other
kinds moved off slowly, on former terms.
Holders of floating cargoes foom the westward showed
more inclination to meet buyers; however, the quotations
ruled a shade lower than on this day se'nnight.
No English barley was on sale, and the supply of foreign
was comparatively trifling. The trade was tolerably firm,
and last week's currency was well supported.
Malt was in fair supply, and steady inquiry, at full
quotations.
Very few oats, either home or foreign grown, were
brought forward. The sale for them was firm, and, in
some instances, good heavy corn was a trifle dearer than
on Monday last.
We were scantily supplied with beans. White sold
slowly, at the late advances in the quotations.
In peas, very little was doing ; prices, however, were
supported.
There was a steady demand for flour, at very full prices.
