MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

Last week's arrivals of English Wheat, from our mar-
ket, coastwise as well as by land carriage, were ex-
tremely small, and of very middling quality. The re-
ceipts of all other articles of home produce were trifling.
No supplies reached us from Ireland ; and those from
Scotland were confined to a few cargoes of Oats. The
foreign imports were heavy, viz., 25,641 quarters of
Wheat ; 22,232 do. of Barley ; 71,421 do. of Oats ;
2,133 do. of Rye; 1,447 do. of Beans; 1,428 do. of Peas;
290 do. of Tares ; 1,502 do. of Linseed; 90 do. of Mus-
tard-seed ; 76 do. of sundry seeds ; 1,786 sacks and 30
barrels of Flour. Since the above returns were made
up, several cargoes of Wheat, Barley, and Oats have
come to band ; and the change in the wind is cal-
culated to bring into port a large number of grain
vessels from the Black and M. diterranean Seas.
The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up this
morning, was again very moderate, and in middling and
interior condition. The attendance of buyers was larger
than for some time past, hence the demand for the
finest samples of both red and white home-grown Wheats
was steady, at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, the
prices paid on this day se'unight. The middling kinds
met a slow inquiry, yet last week's quotations were
mostly supported. At the close of the market a fair
clearance of the stands had been effected. Although the
imports of Foreign Wheat since this day week have been
good, the actual supply of that article on offer to day,
was not to say extensive. Selected qualities of both red
and white were in moderate request at full rates of cur-
rency. The out-of-condition samples were a dull sale,
and prices ruled the turn in favour of the buyers.
Floating cargoes of Wheat, Barley, and Oats were freely
offered by the importers. The business doing on board
was comparatively small; consequently the bulk of the
supplies will be lauded here. With English Barley we
were scantily supplied; but the quantity of foreign was
ex ensive. Fine making samples were scarce, and in
steady request at full currencies. Grinding and distilling
parcels were heavy, yet we cannot call them cheaper.
Notwithstanding that the quantity of Malt ready for
delivery was small, that article was dull in sale, and late
prices were with difficulty supported. Fbr forward de-
livery, very few transactions took place. Several larger
parcels of the late imports of foreign Oats having
been disposed of last week, the supply of
that grain here this morning was not
so great as would otherwise have been the case. The
leading dealers are still short of stock, yet the trade was
in a very sluggish state, and the prices of the best sam-
ples receded ls ; of the inferior kinds 2s per qr, leaving
a portion of the supply unsold. The sale for Beans was
heavy. In prices, however, no change took place.
Peas moved off slowly, at about last week's quotations.
The supply was very moderate. Indian Corn and Meal
commanded scarcely any attention. Holders, however,
refused to submit to lower terms. The Flour trade was
in a very inactive state. Fine qualities were unaltered,
but inferior parcels were lower to purchase.
