ponies herself; got into the front seat of the carriage,
while her female attendant placed herself in the h..t,
seat, and the groom was employed in adjusting the lug'
gage behind. Before Miss Ricardo had time to seize s`.
reins, the shrill whistle of a departing train frightened !A..;

MARKET NEIVS-(TIIIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

During the present week, the arrivals of English wheat
up to our market, coastwise, have been very moderate, viz.,
2,010 quarters, chiefly from Essex and Kent. Fresh up,
to-day, the supply by land carriage was small ; hence the
show of samples of both red and white was trifling. Se-
lected qualities were scarce, and quite as dear as on Mon-
day; but low and middling kinds sold slowly, at barely
late rates. A few parcels changed hands for forward
delivery. Only 1,280 quarters of foreign wheat have come
to hand this week. There was rather more inquiry for
good heavy parcels, at full currencies. All other kinds
were held at previous rates. In floating cargoes rather
more business was doing.
We were very scantily supplied with both English and
foreign barley. Fine malting parcels were fully 1s per
quarter dearer than last week, and there was rather more
doing in grinding and distilling sorts.
Malt—the supply of which was very moderate—sold
slowly, at late figures.l
The amount of business doing in oats was trifling, owing
to the want of supply. Prices were firmly supported in
every instance.
In beans, peas, and flour no change took place.
