.NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The lea ling country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat, in which only a limited
business was doing, at a decline of from 2s. to 3s. per quar-
ter. Barley sold heavily, at ls. to 2s. decline. All other
grain was dull and cheaper. Flour gave way quite 28. per
sack.

The whole of the continental markets have been dull
and drooping. The last advices from New York state
that holders of flour was tolerably firm in their demands.
The receipts of English grain up to our market, last
week, were very moderate. From abroad, we received
38,688 quarters of wheat, 3,230 barley, 15,728 oats, 4,638
beans, 12 peas, 886 tares, 1,748 linseed, 85 rapeseed, 148
sundry seeds, 12,536 sacks, and 23,370 barrels of flour.
The supply of English wheat received fresh up from our
market to-day, coastwise, was very moderate, but in fair
average condition. By land carriage the supply was small,
hence the Kent and Essex stands were by no means largely
supplied ' nevertheless, the demand for all descriptions,
owing to the immense imports of foreign grain and flour,
and the dull accounts from the ontports, was in a depressed
state, at a decline in the prices of Monday last of fully 2s
per quarter, and a clearance was not effected. For for-
ward delivery, next to nothing doing.
We were very heavily supplied with foreign wheat,
fresh as well as ex-granary. For all kinds the sale ruled
heavy, and saarcely any business resulted, although im-
porters offered freely at 2s to 3s per quarter under the
rates of this day se'nnight.

FloAting cargoes were almost wholly neglected. Nu-
merous vessels arrived off Falmouth have been ordered
round to London.

We had a dull sale for all descriptions of barley, the
value of which had a downward tendency.
There were very few inquiries for malt, the value of
which was with difficulty supported.
The oat trade ruled dull. In prices, however, very little
change took place.
Beans moved off slowly, at barely late figures.
In peas, very Little %v I.e doia, former barai3.
The flour trade was dull, at per sack and barrel less
