MARKET

CORN EXCHANGE.

The country markets held on Saturday were firm for
wheat, the prices of which had an upward tendency. Bar-,
ley and malt were very dull, and drooping. Oats, beans,
peas, and flour, the supplies of which were tolerably good,
sold steadily, at extreme rates.
The last advices from New York state that both wheat
and flour were dull, and lower to purchase. Most of the
continental markets have ruled steady, and the quotations
have been fairly supported.
Fresh up to our market last week the arrivals of English
grain were somewhat on the increase. The imports from
abroad have amounted to 34,582 quarters of wheat, 7,637
barley, 13,744 oats, 2,839 beans, 2,720 peas, 446 tares,
5,533 linseed, 2,271 rapeseed, 183 mustard seed, 273 sun-
dry seeds, 2,160 sacks and 11,133 barrels of flour.
Fresh up, this morning, the arrivals of English wheat,
coastwise, were very moderate, and greatly out of condi-
tion. By land carriage the supply was comparatively
small. Notwithstanding that the show of samples of both
red and white was limited, the demand for all kinds, owing
to the thin attendance of buyers, and the large imports of
foreign wheat and flour, was in a very inactive state, at
prices barely equal to those obtained on Monday last. In
some instances, very damp parcels were the turn in favour
of buyers. For forward delivery next to nothing was
doing.
_ _

With foreign wheat we were rather extensively supplied,
The transactions in red Baltic qualities were at full prices.
All other kinds moved off slowly, at last week's currency.
The arrival of floating cargoes off the coast continues
small. Very few transactions were reported in them;
but no change took place in the quotations.
We had a large quantity of barley on offer. The trade
ruled very dull, at a decline in prices of is to, in some in-
stances, 2s per quarter.
The demand for malt was dull, at is per quarter less
money. The show was good.
There was an extensive supply of oats on the market,
sales progressed slowly, at 6d per quarter less money.
Beans were in good supply, and moderate request, at
full prices. White peas were is lower. Grey and maple
were quite as dear as last week.
The flour trade was dull, and American parcels were
offering on rather lower terms.
