MARKET NE THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—(MONDAY).
During last week the arrivals of all kinds of Grain as
well as Flour for our maiket coastwise were on a very
limited scale. By land carriage they were somewhat
on the increase. From Scotland very little corn reached
us, but the supply of Oats from Ireland was one of the
largest received in any week since the close of 1847—it
having exceeded 26 000 quarters. The foreign imports
were good. viz . 15,939 quarters of Wheat; 5,168 ditto
of Barley; 2,447 ditto of Oats; 970 ditto of 13,,ans; 874
ditto of Peas; 530 ditto of Tares; 2,907 ditto of Linseed;
819 ditto of Rapeseed; 2.200 ditto of Indian Corn; 15
ditto of sundry Seeds; 2,396 sacks, and 1,837 barrels of
Flour. The arrivals from the Baltic and Black Seas
during the present week are expected to be very small.
The quantity of Wheat received fresh up to-day from
Essex and Kent was very moderate, and in but middling
condition—that from Cambridgeshire, &c., was trifling
in the extreme. The stands were scantily supplied with
samples of both Red and White. As the millers almost
generally are waiting the new order of things—viz., the
decline in the duties on and after the Ist proximo—the
business transacted in Wheat of home growth was again
small. Still, however, the bulk of the English Wheats
sold at prices equal to those paid on this day se'nnight.
The market closed free from animation. With free Fo-
reign Wheat we were tolerably well, but not to say
heavily, supplied. The best descriptions sold to a fair
extent, at full rates of currency ; but the middling
and out of condition sorts were a very slow inquiry, at
barely stationary prices. Wheat under lock was de-
cidedly slow in sale, yet it is held at prices within two
or three shillings per quarter of free parcels. It is cal-
culated that about 200,000 quarters have changed hands
during the last month. This will materially lessen the
quantity to be thrown upon our market during February.
Although the supply of Barley, both English and Fo.
reign, was tolerably good, Malting samples were in
t.rady request, at lull prices. Grinding and Die-
sorts moved off slowly, at late rates.
'-'he large influx of Irish Oats had a depressing effect
uP°ll the Oat trade. The best English and Scotch Oats
sold on former terms, but Irish qualities receded quite
vu Per quarter. In Beans—the supply of which was but
,ruuderate—next to nothing was doing, and prices had a
I"cillward tendency. All kinds of Peas were a dul
-nquirY, at barely late rates. Indian Corn and Meal
were
~ easier to purchase. The top price of English
Fluor was 44s per 2801bs.
