MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The leading country markets held on Saturday were but
Inoclerately supplied with wheat, yet the demand ruled in-
active, and in some instances prices had a downward ten-
dency. There was less inquiry for barley and malt. The
oat trade was firm, 0„ extreme rates. Beans, peas, and
Sour commanded 'wry full prices.
The latest adVAces from New York state that both grain
and flour were, in good requests on English account. Most
of the contirdental markets have continued firm.
"Up to Tar market last week the arrivals of English grain
were 1313'6 moderate. From abroad we received 47,901.
"ts of wheat, 5,430 barley, 15,823 oats, 2,015 beans,
2,,009z peas, 60 tares, 3,903 linseed, 1,767 rapeseed, 37 naus-
laA seed, 592 sundry seeds, 6,358 sacks and 6,492 barrels
in flour.
Fresh up to this morning's market, the arrivals of wheat
Trom Essex, Sent, &c., coastwise, were very moderate,
but in fair average codition. By land carriage, the re-
ceipts were small • hence the show of samples of both red
and. white was limited. Owing, in a great measure, to
several barrels of flour having come to hand from France,
Spain, and Italy, buyers purchased all kinds of English
wheat with extreme caution, and the demand was in a very
inactive state, at prices barely equal to those of Monday
last. For forward delivery very little was doing.
We were well supplied with foreign wheat. Millers
almost generally restricted their purchases to retail quan-
tities. In the quotations, however, scarcely any change
took place. Floating cargoes—the arrival of which from
the westward continue small—were held at full prices,
but the inquiry was by no means active. Fine English
barley was scarce, and quite as dear as last week. Grind-
ing and distilling sorts met a dull inquiry, and were the
turn in favour of buyers.
We had a fair inquiry for malt, on former terms.
Although the show of oats was moderate, the trade was
dull, at.last week's currency.
The inquiry for all kinds of beans was firm, and prices
well supported.
White peas moved off slowly, at ls. to 2s. per quarter
less money. Grey and maple were quite as dear.
Flour was in moderate request, at late currencies.
