MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading eomitry markets held on Saturday were
fairly supplied with wheat, nevertheless, the demands for
all kinds ruled steady, at a further advance in prices of
from 4s to 6s per quarter. Barley moved off readily at a
rise of from is to 2s per quarter. All other kinds of grain
were somewhat active, and 1s to 2s dearer. Flour sold at
an improvement of from 3s to 5* per sack.
Letters from New York to the 21st ult state that the de.
mand for wheat and flour was rather heavy, at drooping
prices. The Baltic and Black Sea markets have been less
active, but those in France and Holland continue firm.

The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were very limited. From abroad we received 8,674 quar-
ters of wheat, 1,715 barley, 473 oats, 380 rye, 209 peas,
3,244 linseed, 450 rapeseed, 268 mustard seed, 154 sundry
seeds, 1,165 sacks, and 4,131 barrels.
There was a decided increase in the arrival of wheit for
to•day's market from Essex and Kent, whilst the general
quality of the supply was good. By land carriage, the
receipts were moderately extensive, and the stands were
well filled with samples of both red and white. The mar-
ket opened firmly, and most of the factors refused to sell
except at an advance in the prices of Monday last of from
is to 2s per quarter; but buyers held off, and only a mode-
rate business resulted at the rates of Monday last.
There wa.4 very little business doing for forward delivery,
nevertheless, growers were firm in their demands.
With foreign wheat we were very moderately supplied .
On the whole, the demand was less active than of late..
In the quotations, however, very little change took place..
Floating cargoes, the arrivals of which from the west-
ward have been small, were quite as dear as last w eek,
with a steady inquiry for France.
Advices from Paris by the electric telegraph inform. us
that the export of potatoes from France is prohibited.
The show of barley was trifling. All descriptions, Jape-
cially grinding sorts, moved off readily at extreme curren-
cies.

Malt came slowly to hand, and the sale for it was firm,
at full currencies.

ery few oats were brought forward. The demand for
them ruled active, at from 6d to Is per quarter more
money.
The inquiry for beans was steady, on former terms.
Peas sold steadily. In prices no change took place.
The inquiry for flour was firm at the late advance. The
top price of English was 70s per 280 lbs.
