MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

Letters from the principal country markets, held on
Saturday, stated that rather more demand was expe-
rienced for the best parcels of both English and Foreign
Wheat, at very full prices. In the middling and inferior
kinds, only a limited business was transacted. Malting
Barley, and the best Oats and Flour, ware quite as dear,
but all other articles were neglected. Our foreign ad-
vices, generally, are to the effect that very little•has been
doing in any grain on English account. Up to our
market last week, the arrivals of all English grain were
small. The imports, from abroad, were liberal, viz:
15,962 quarters of Wheat, 25,266 ditto of Barley, 17,046
ditto of Oats, 95 ditto of Rye, 225 ditto of Beans.
6,504 ditto of Peas, 1,378 ditto of Tares, 2,5110 ditto
of Linseed. 110 ditto of Rapeseed, 36 ditto of sundry
seeds, 5,557 barrels, end 3,348 sacks of Flour.
The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to
Flour market to•day coastnise from Essex, Kent, Suffolk,
and all other quarters, was very moderate. By land
carriage and sample the receipts were small. The
stands were rather scantily filled with most desariptionas
owing to which, and the full attendance of both town
and country millers, the demand was steady, especially
for selected parcels of both red and white, at prices fully
equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight, and at
which a good clearance was effected. The quality of
the Wheats was by no means first-rate, arising from the
humid state of the atmosphere. A large portion of the
late extensive imports of Foreign Wheat having been
placed in granary, and the arrivals last week being good.

there was a considerable increase in the totelsW
ply brought forward this morning; nevertheless, as
theimporters evinced no anxiety to press sales, as a fall•
ing off in the foreign receipts is generally expected, fine
wheats sold to a fair extent at full rates of currency. In
the middling and inferior kinds only a limited business
was transacted at late figures. There was no demand
for floating cargoes, the prices of which were nominal.
With English Barley we were but moderately supplied,
but the quantity of foreign was very extensive. The
best malting parcels moved off somewhat steadily, at full
prices. All other kinds were a slow sale; but we have
no actual decline to notice in the quotations.
Malt, the supply of which was very moderafe, sold
slowly. In its value, however, we have no change 10
report. Tht re were less Oats offering than for some One
past. On the whole, the Oat trade was steady, and
prices were fairly supported. Beans were a very sior'
sales at barely late rates. Peas moved off heavily at, 115
some instances, a decline of is per quarter. The best
Flour was held at high prices. The inferior kinds, 0
well as Indian Corn and Meal, were neglected.
