MARKET ALWs.—(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
During last week the quantity of English Wheat received
for our market, coastwise as well as by land carriage and
sample, was small, and of very middling quality. The
reeeipts of all other articles of home produce, including Flour,
were, comparatively speaking, trifling, if we except those of
Malt, which exceeded 6,000 quarters. The arrivals from
Ireland and Scotland were chiefly confined to a few cargoes
of Oats. The imports from abroad comprised 23,940 quarters
of Wheat; 4,717 ditto of Barley; 3,135 ditto of Oats; 857
ditto of Beans; 587 ditto of Peas; 1,943 ditto of Tares;
1,450 ditto of Linseed; 45 ditto of Mustard Seed; 93 ditto
of sundry ether seeds; 2,148 sacks, and 100 barrels of Flour.
The principal portion of the Wheat reached us from the near
continental ports and the Black Sea. 'The Flour came to
hand chiefly from France. Rather extensive supplies of Fo-
reign Barley and Oats are shortly expected from the Conti-
nent, as the canal navigation in Holland has become free.
Although the supply of English Wheat fresh up this morn-
ing was somewhat on the increase, compared with that re-
ceived on Monday last, it was extremely small, even for the
time of year; and it proved quite adequate to the wants of the
millers and others. The attendance of buyers being small,
and alpressure of Foreign Wheats for sale being experienced,
the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was ex-
tremely heavy, at a decline in the quotations paid on Mon-
day last of from Is to 2s per quarter, and at which a total
clearance was not effected. The general quality of the
samples was much affected by the prevailing unfavourable
weather. The quantity of Foreign Wheat on the stands was
larger than for many weeks past. As most of the leading
importers were anxious sellers, the dealers purchased with
extreme caution. All kinds must be quoted from Is to 2s
per quarter beneath the prices of this day se'nnight.
Large samples might have been had even lower.
With English Barley we were fairly supplied, but the quan-
tity of foreign was somewhat limited. Melling samples
were mostly held at full prices. Grinding and distilling
sorts ruled is per
he quarter lower, with a very small amount of
business doing. 1
supply of Malt was considerably in
excess of the demand. To sell, lower rates must have been
submitted to, but so few sales were concluded that in some
instances the currencies were almost nominal. The arrivals
of Oats from all quarters have continued on a limited scale
since we last wrote, nevertheless the demand for that article
was in a very inactive state. Fine sound Corn must be
quoted at late rates. The middling and inferior earn=
pies were quite 61 per quarter lower than last week.
'There was scarcely any demand for Beans, the prices of
which must be considered the turn in favour of the buyers.
All kinds of Peas were dull in the extreme ; in prices no
actual change took place. Indian Corn and Meal com-
manded little or no attention. The best town-made Flour
sold at last week's prices. Foreign qualities were offered at
rather lower figures.
