CORN EXCHANGE.

The demand for wheat in nearly the whole of the pro-
vincial markets held on Saturday was rather active, at
improved quotations. Barley--the supplies of which on
offer were limited—sold freely, at full prices, and the
-value of malt, oats, and flour was well supported. Both
beans and peas moved off steadily, and the currencies had
an upward tendency.
The latest accounts from New York state that wheat
and flour were in moderate request for shipping purposes.
Nearly the whole of the Continental markets have ruled
steady, at full prices.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last
week, were very limited. From abroad we received
26,410 quarters of wheat, 8,630 barley, 16,970 oats, 2,830
beans, 1,433 peas, 9 tares, 257 sundry seeds, 970 sacks,
and 1,286 barrels of flour.
The quantity of wheat received fresh up to this morn-
ing's market, coastwise from Kent, was very limited, but
in fair average condition. From Essex, as well as from
the East Coast, the supply was comparatively small ;
whilst the receipts by land carriage exhibited a falling off.
Notwithstanding that the show of samples both red and
white was limited, the demand, owing to the moderate
number of millers in attendance, was not to say brisk.
However, it may be considered steady, at prices equal to
those obtained on Monday last, and at which a fair clear-
ance was effected.
The sale for forward-delivery parcels was tolerably firm,
but the business doing was rather limited. Growers gene-
rally were firm.
The supply of foreign wheat was again very exten-
sive ; but most of the samples were in good condition,
from nearly the whole of the vessels having made rapid
passages. Medium qualities sold freely, chiefly for ship-
ment coastwise, at very full prices. Most other kinds
moved off slowly, at late rates.
Several floating cargoes changed hands at is per quarter
more money. Scarcely any English barley was on offer ;
but the supply of foreign was rather extensive ; never-
theless, the barley trade was steady, at full quotations.
We had a moderate inquiry for malt, the supply of which
was good at late currencies.
On the whole, the supply of oats was good ; yet the de•
mand was tolerably active, at previous quotations.
Beans came slowly to hand ; whilst the inquiry for them
was firm, at full prices.
The sale for peas was steady, but no change took place
in their value. We had an improved sale for both English
and foreign flour, at full prices.
