MARKET

IS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Nearly the whole of the country markets held on Satur-
day were but moderately supplied with wheat, neverthe-
less, the demand for all kinds was heavy, at drooping
prices. There was less inquiry for bailey, the rates of
which had a downward tendency. In malt, very little
was doing. Oats and flour moved off slowly, but beans
and peas were held for more money.
From New York, we learn that the value of both wheat
and flour was drooping, with a very inactive demand. On
the Continent, most kinds of grain have changed hands
slowly, yet prices have been freely supported.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last
week, were very moderate ; but those from abroad were
larger, viz., 21,392 quarters of wheat, 21,260 barley,
30,172 oats, 435 beans, 25 peas, 50 tares, 632 linseed, 340
rapeseed, 200 sundry seeds, 2,344 sacks, and 6,213 barrels
of flour. _ .

The quantity of wheat received fresh up to this morn-
ing's market from Kent was but moderate, and somewhat
out of condition. From Essex and Suffolk the supply was
small. The arrivals by land carriage were by no means
large, and the show of samples of both red and white was
far from extensive. Owing to the large imports of foreign
wheat and flour, and the thin attendance of millers, the
demand for all kinds of English wheat was in a very inac-
tive state. In some instances picked samples of white sold
at last Monday's currency ; but low and middling kinds
has a downward tendency—the fall having amounted to
about is per quarter.
For forward delivery we had a very dull inquiry, although
most of the growers were sellers at is per quarter less
money.
We were very heavily supplied with both fresh and gra-
naried samples of foreign wheat. However, really fine
qualities were scarce, and held at full quotations. Low
parcels ruled excessively heavy, at is. per quarter less
money, at which decline no progress could be made in
sales.

Floating cargoes were freely offered at ls. per quarter
less money, without finding buyers. The arrival off Fal-
mouth has not been large.
Scarcely any English barley was brought forward, but
the supply of foreign was very large for the time of year.
The trade was heavy, and the quotations were, in most in-
stances, is. per quarter lower than on this day se'nnight.

_ There was a very large quantity of foreign oats on show,
hence the sale for that article was heavy, at a fall in prices
of fully 6d. per quarter.
We had a moderate inquiry for malt on previous terms.
The sale for beans was steady. In prices no change
took place.
Peas, the supply of which was limited, sold at late cur-
rencies.

The flour trade was very dull, and ship qualities were
considered the turn lower. American parcels were easier
to purchase.
