IS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The supplies of wheat on sale in the leading country
markets held on Saturday were but moderate ; neverthe-
less, 7the demands for all kinds was in a sluggish state, on
somewhat easier terms. Fine barley realised full prices.
Low and middling parcels were somewhat neglected. Malt
sold at extreme Crates. Oats, beans, peas, and flour com-
manded very little attention.
The latest advices from New York state flour was in re-

quest, on higher terms. In wheat and Indian corn, very
little was doing. Most of the Continental markets have
ruled inactive.

Up to our markets, last week, coastwise, the arrivals of
English grain were very moderate. From abroad, we re-
ceived 9,302 quarters of wheat, 10,283 do. of barley,
1,670 oats, 1,348 beans, 40 tares, 5,378 linseed, 1,051 rape-
seed, 85 sundry seeds, 2,703 sacks, and 7,608 barrels of
flour.
Fresh up to-day the arrivals of wheat coastwise from
Essex and Kent were very moderate, and in middling con-
ditieu., From the east coast they were small, whilst the
receipts by land carriage were comparatively trifling.
Notwithstanding that the show of samples of both red
and white was smaller than for some time past, the de-
mand for all descriptions, owing to the large quantities of
foreign flour on offer, and the inreased number of floating
cargoes off the coast, was in a very inactive state. Al-
though no actual change took place in the quotations,
much difficulty Was experienced in effecting a clearance.
The number of offers from the midland counties to for-
ward wheat during this and the following month was on
the increase. The millers, however, purchased with ex-
treme caution, at barely late rates.
With foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex granary, we were
fairly supplied. Good heavy qualities changed hands at
full currencies. Low and middling kinds ruled very dull, at
barely stationary prices.
Floating cargoes were heavy, and the quotations gave
Way 2s per quarter compared with Monday last. From
the Baltic, numerous offers to ship wheat in the spring
were received.
The supply of English barley was small, but that of fo-
reign was large. Malting samples moved off steadily, at
full prices. Low qualities of foreign were very dull, and
a shade lower than last week.
We had a fair inquiry for all kinds of malt, at full quo-
The show of Irish oats was tolerably extensive, that of
tations:
,

English, Scotch; and foreign limited. The trade was
tolerably firm, at late currencies.
Beans, the supply of which was on the increase, mot a
dull inquiry, at barely stationary prices.
In peas comparatively few transactions took place, at
last -week's figures.
The flour trade was in a very inactive state. In the
quotatioha no change took place.
