MARKET NEWS.—(YESTERDAY;.)
CORN EXCHANGES
During last week the arrivals of English Wheat up
to our market, coastwise, were on the increase, and of
very prime quality, but those of all other article's of
home produce, including Flour, were extremely small.
From Ireland upwards of 1,200 quarters of Wheat,vi and
a few parcels cf Oats and Flour, came to hand,
the general receipts from t'cotland were larger thran for 3
of
many previous weeks. From abroad upward
hile
32,000 quarters of Wheat, 11,000 ditto of Barley, 000
ditto of Oats, and 9,000 barrels of Flour came to. latod ;
while the imports of other grain were on the wholD
good. Fresh up a vary moderate quantity of Wheat
of home produce came to haw!, coastwise or by land-
carriage and sample. The show of that grain
being larger than for sometime past, Ike
attendance of buyers, both town and ceulltrie
by no means large, the country markets
coming considerably lower, the favourable state
of the weather for the growing crops, and the alone°
of foreign orders, produced considerable heaviness in th!
English Wheat trade, and to effect sales the factors seae
holders were compelled to submit to 2. decline' in the

Selected parcels of malting and grinding sold at barely

yet the Oat trade was in a very depressed state, and the
