MARKET NEWS.—(YESTERDA ilre)

CORN-EXCHANOE.
Very limited supplies of Engli,h Wheat have arrived .IIP to
our market this wet k, consequently the show of samples was
trifling ; still, however, the demand was by no means active,
and the market closed somewhat dull, at about MO lelaY
quotations. In Foreign Wheat a fair amount of busine. eras
transacted, at fully previous currencies. One or two large
cargoes were taken nor the French markets. Although vet/
lath Barley was on t,ff: r, the trade ruled dull, at barely late
rates. In Malt, the supply of which was small, next to no-
thing was doing., at late figures. Oats, Beans Peas, . tnd
Flour were a slow inquiry, at previous quotations. Ind MP
