MARKET NEWS.-(TIIIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE.—FRIDAY.
The arrivals of English Wheat for our market during
the present week coastwise, have been confined to 1,050
quarters. By land carriage very fine samples have
reached us. The supply on offer here to-day was veil
limited, yet the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home
produce, owing to the rapid progress making in the
fields and the prospects of large imports from the Baltic,
was in a very inactive state, at barely Monday's quota;
tions. From abroad we have received 7,190 quarters 0E
Wheat. Selected samples were generally bell
at full currencies ; but all other qualities
ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices. No-
thing doing in floating cargoes. Notwithstanding,
the show of Barley was small, that article was slow of
sale, and the turn in favour of the buyers. We he'
only a retail inquiry for Malt, and previous prices wiire
not easily obtained even for the finest quality. Owig
to the small arrivals, Oats were firm, and 6d per qurater
higher than on Monday. New grey Peas were Is lOwer;
Beans ruled heavy. Indian Corn, Meal and, Flour
without alteration.

instances, an advance in the quotations of Monday ill,

full prices. Lambs were in moderate supply and stow
request, at fully previous currencies. There was a cotti
