MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-(FRIDAY.)
A very moderate supply of English Wheat having
arrived h r our market this wet k, the show of sample')
here to-day was small; nevertheless, owing to the large
importations from abroad, the demand for all descrir
tions was in a very dull state, at prices barely s qua' to
those obtained on Monday. Upwards of 28,000 quarters
of foreign Wheat have reached us, and there was a con-
siderably-increased number of samples on the stands.
Selected qualities of white were held at full currencies;
but to effect sales of the middling and inferior kinds 0
decline of is per quarter must have been sutmitted to.
The supply of Barley was extensive. The
best malting parcels. ruled about stationary'
All other kinds were Is per quarter lower. Malt
was in the same dull state as on Monday, and price.
were with difficulty supported, owing to the increased
supply. An immense supply of foreign Oats was 01
show, but that of English was small. The Oat trade,
ruled exceedingly heavy, at a fall in the quotations ot
quite 6 1 per quarter. Beans, Pease, Indian Corn, tad
Flour were dull in the extreme, and rather lower.
