THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE,Drc. 9.

,
The arrivals of last week were considerable, and the quan-
tities remaining over, with the fresh supplies of this morning,
contribute a large market of all sorts of grain.:Our Maltstars
being now in full work and wanting dry Wheat, they purchased
with eagerness and at rather higher prices, but there is no
alteration in other qualities ; Barley for malting is much want-
ed, and is also rather dearer, grinding parcels sell much •as
per last week.; New Beans sold freely, on full as good terms
as this day se'nnight, but old are dull ; Grey Peas are
rather higher ; Oats sell on much the same terms as last week,
except iight parcels of Irish, which are rather cheaper.
