dARKET NEWs.—(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.
During last wet k the receipts of ail articles of grain,
including Flour, of home produce, were trifling. From
Ireland,
only a few quarters of Malt came to hand, and
from Scotland they were confined to a few cargoes of
Oats. The foreign importations amounted to 12,863
quarters of Wheat, 2,204 ditto of Barley, 6,029 ditto of
Oats, 300 ditto of Rye, 2,490 ditto of Beans, ',269 ditto
°f„ 13r'i, 8 ditto of Tares, 2,293 ditto of Linseed, 21 ditto
of Mustard seed, 4 443 sacks, and 8,991 barrels of
Flour. Letters received from the Continent today
rstate that the demand for both Wheat and Flour
for shipment to England has somewhat fallen off.
The afivices from our own districts respecting
the appearance of the crops, are satisfactory.
The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to our
market, this morning, coastwise as well as by land
carriage and sample, was very small, but of fair average
quality. The show of samples of both red and white
'was unusually limited, owing to which, and the in-
creased attendance of both town and country buyers,
the demand for ail descriptions was somewhat firm. In
&Inc few instances, the finest picked qualities of white
wold at a slight improvement in the prices paid on Mon-
day last; white the value of the middling and in-
ferior kinds was well supported in every instance
Prior to the conclusion of business, a good
clearance of the supply had been eff tied.
The show of foreign Wheat was tolerably good, but by
no means extensive. Really fine qualities of both red
acroi tid t t
and white moved off steadily at prices fully equal to
those obtained on this day so'nnight. The middling and
Ins
h .Be y

Ing cargoes of Wheat was held at full prices. No Eng-
sold lreely wai on (Her. Grindit,g qualities of foreign

Wants of the buyers. All kinds were dull, at barely
atationary prices. The best samples of Oats rue 6d per

The public sales of Colonial Wool are now in pro-

English, Scotch and foreign buyers has been good,
and most of the parcels brought forward have changed

tract the demand is heavy, but we have no change to
