MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.

CORN EXCHANGE.—MONDAY.
Although the receipts of English Wheat for our
market last week was somewhat on the increase they
were very moderate for the time of year. The fresh
supply of barley and oats of home produce was by no
means large, but that of flour was somewhat ex-
tensive. Several cargoes of very superior Oats
came to hand from Scotland, but only a few quarters
of Malt were received from Ireland. We under-
stand that very few shipments of Oats are being made
from any of the Irish ports ; hence, any large in-
crease in their supplies must not be expected. Owing
to the change in the wind, the imports of foreign griain
have been rather large—viz., 23,725 quarters of Wheat,
6,622 ditto of Barley, 4,905 ditto of Oats, 1,520 ditto
of Rye, 651 ditto of Beans, 1,888 ditto of Peas, 1,421
ditto of Tares, 5,848 ditto of Linseed, 93 ditto of Rape-
seed, 101 ditto of Mustardseed, 1,166 ditto of sundry
other seeds, 7,303 sacks and 20,846 barrels of Flour.
Fresh up this morning a fair avenge quantity of Wheat
came to hand by land carriage, and samples from Kent,
but that from Essex was small, and in very inferior con-
dition. From Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, &c., scarcely
any Wheat reached us. Although the show of samples
was very moderate, we have to report a dull inquiry
for all kinds of English Wheat at, in most
transactions, a decline in the quotations of
Monday last, from ls, to, in some instances 2,
per quarter, and at which a clearance was not effected.
This heaviness in the trade must be chiefly attributed
to the large importation of Flour noticed above, and
which was somewhat eagerly pressed for sale.
The sack qualities was mostly received from
France, and the barrelled samples from the United
States. The quality is proving very fine. The
market was somewhat heavily supplied with free foreign
Wheat, much of which was out of condition. Really
fine samples were in moderate request, at barely sta-
tionary prices. In the middling and inferior
qualities a very limited business was doing at
a fall in value of fully one shilling per quarter.
Bonded and floating cargoes of Wheat were
offering at lower prices; but we heard of no transac-
tions in them, hence the quotations were nominal. The
quantity of Barley on show was tolerably good. Fine
malting. qualities were mostly selling at fully last week's
currencies. Grinding and distilling sorts ruled very
dull, and were somewhat easier to purchase.
We were fairly supplied with malt. The brewers pur-
based with extreme caution, and it was only the finestc
parcels that commanded any attention. In prices we
hate no actual change to notice. Generally speaking,
the show of Oats was moderate. Sound fresh Corn
moved off steadily, at full prices. Otherwise, the 041
trade was in a sluggish state, at previous currencies.
Both Beans and Peas—the supplies of which were not
to say extensive—were dull in the extreme, at barely
late rates. Indian Corn and Meal were again dull. The
best samples of Flour were mostly held at full prices
Country. marks were a shade lower.
