MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY•)

CORN EXCHAS:rGE—MONDAY.„
The arrivals of English Wheat, Malt, and Flour foe
our market, last week, coastwise and by land csrriaget
were somewhat on the increase. Those of all other ar:
tides of home produce were very small. From 1re135.4
and Scotland scarcely any grain reached us. The re"
reign imparts were very extensive, especially from thes
near continental ports, they having amounted to 43,87,
quarters of Wheat; 11,572 ditto of Barley; 35,269 ditto
ut Oats; 440 ditto of Beans; 4S ditto of Peas; 90 ditto
Tares; 82 ditto of Linseed; GS ditto of Rapeseed; 3:4,.
ditto of Mustard Seed; 120 ditto of sundry seeds; 1,431'
barrels and 5,735 sacks of flour. It is pretty generally
expected that we shall receive very limited supplieg
grain from the Baltic for some time hence, but lare 1171
rivals are expected from the Continent, as
~we'
as from the United States. The quantity of Rhea"
received fresh up to our market, this morning'
coastwise, was small; while the arrival of Wu.
carriage samples from Eescx, Kent, Cambridge*
shire, &c., was trifling, Although the stands were veil
scantily supplied with parcels of both red and white, tbs,-
demand for all descriptims, owing to the pressure og
oreign qualities for sale, was in a very inactive state'
Fine Wheats declined in value ls per quarter; while the
middling and inferior kinds were 2s r quarter lower
than on Monday last. At the close oft he market a tots,
clearance had not been effectecL The accounts respect
ing the appearance of the growing crops continue '
vourable. With Foreign Wheat we were Aga'
heavily supplied, and offers continue to arrive hither
from the Continent at comparatively low Frieesci.
The millers being generally well in stock, the dernsd.
for Wheat of foreign produce was extremely heavy, en
r' the currencies gave way from is to 2s per quarte
The supply considerably exceeded the wants of the buyer'
Scarcely any English Barley was on offer; but the sup'
ply of foreign was exten-dve. The best malting sauglil
were mostly held at full currencies; grinding and u`s
tilling sorts were somewhat easier to purchase, although
we have no actual fall to notice in value. The quant.b
itio
of Malt on offer was on the increase, owing to which,`,,
brewers purchased with great caution, and Prie,,
were with difficulty supported. For Oats,
inquiry was limited. The best samples weir„
mostly disposed of at late currencies. 1,1171 i
rior qualities were somewhat lower, with a, ","
sale. Tick Beans were quite as dear as on this LI
se'nnight. In other kinds very few transactions tee,
place. Most kinds of Peas moved off at last week's clop
tations. Indian Corn and Meal were held at full prices;
Both sack and barrelled flour, the supply of which 10
good, was lower to purchase by from is to 2s.

imports of provisions, we have to notice the arrival of

quantities will, we understand, be shipped for tuts
