MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of English Wheat for our market this week
have been again very small, and the show of samples of that
grain here was trifling. Although the attendance of buyeFe
was by no means large, the demaand was very firm, and in
some instances is per quarter advance was obtained for 1".•
lected runs of both red and white. Foreign Wheat was is
active request at is per quarter more money, with a fair
average quantity on offer. There was a very stead)"
inquiry for all kinds of Barley, and the late
improvement in value was firmly supported. Ther:3
was only a moderate inquiry for Malt, at Monday •
currencies. Oats, Beans, and Peas were quite as dear, with
a fair trade. Indian Corn was Is higher, and the best t?ffil
made Flour was selling at 85s per 2801bs ; American "ditto,
52s to 55s per 1961b5.
