MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

- -
The supplies of wheat on sale in the country markets
held on Saturday were limited, and the demand ruled
'
steady, at an advance of from is to 2s per quarter. Barley
and malt were firm, and quite as dear as in the previous
week. Oats, beans, and peas had an upward tendency.
There was an improved sale for flour, the value of which
was on the advance.
The Continental markets, have been very firm of late,
and prices of all articles have been well supported. Ad-
vices from New York to the 19th inst. state that both
wheat and flour were offering on lower terms, owing to the
high freights.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain
were very moderate. From abroad we received 16,509
quarters of wheat, 3.965 barley, 16,777 oats, 113 beans,
1.141 peas, 8,000 linseed, 2,459 rapeseed, 83 mustard seed,
658 sundry seed,s, and 6,696 barrels of flour. Notwithstanding that the arrrivals of English wheat up
to our market to-day, coastwise, was very moderate, and
that the receipts by land carriage was smaller than for
some weeks past, there was less disposition on the part of
{;he millers and others to effect purchases, hence the de-
mand for all descriptions was in a sluggish state, at prices
about equal to those obtained on Monday last. The gene-
ral quality of the samples was by no means first-rate, owing
to the long-prevailing damp weather.
For forward delivery we have heard of very few transac-
tions, yet the growers were not disposed to sell except at
very full currencies.
The show of foreign wheat was by no means extensive.
Llood red Baltic parcels moved off steadily at full quota-
tic,sns. Most other qualities were in but moderate request,
on former terms.
T2‘efe was only a limited demand for floating cargoes of
wheat. Marianopole was quoted ut 695, Taganrog Ghirka
LaviComirka 655, Galatz 56s to 58s, and Polish Odessa
60s per qux rter.

off steadily at late rates.
In the value of malt we have no change to report.
Although the aggregate supply of oats was tolerably
good, that article was in fair request, and fine corn ad-
vanced 6d. per quarter.
We had a steady, though by no means active, inquiry
for beans, at full prices.
There was less activity in the sale for peas, yet the quo-
tations were supported.
The demand for flour was rather inactive ; nevertheless
the currencies of Monday last were maintained.
