MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
During last week, up to Saturday evening, the arrivals
of English Wheat in the port of London were seasonably
extensive. Of all other articles of home produce the re-
ceipts were small. From Ireland and Scotland scarcely
any grain reached us, but the foreign imports were liberal,
viz., 17,959 quurttrs of Wheat; 9,439 ditto of Barley;
26,182 ditto of Oats; 813 ditto of Beans; 4,790 ditto of
Peas; 70 ditto of tares; 13,327 ditto of Linseed; 189
ditto of Rapeseed; 37 ditto of Mustard-seed; 40 ditto
of sundry Seeds; 1,050 barrels, and 192 sacks of Flour.
From Essex and Kent rather an extensive quantity of
Wheat came fresh to hand this morning, coastwise as
well as by land carriage; and the show of samples of
both Red and White was seasonably large. The
continuance, however, of heavy rains, which are
calculated to inflect serious injury to the crops,
and the large attendance of both town and
country millers, produced some excitement in
the trade:. We, therefore, have to report an
advance in the quotations of Monday last of from 2s to
fully 3s per quarter, and nearly the whole of the sam-
ples were taken at an early hour. There were about
200 quarters of new Wheat in the market, 100 quarters
being from Essex, the remainder from Kent; and which
sold at prices varying from 55s to 60s per quarter.
The quality was very indifferent. The quantity of Fo-
reign Wheat on show was by no means large, and the
holders demanded extravagant rates for it. The price roust
be called 28 to 3s per quarter higher thari on this day week.
Floating cargoes of Foreign Wheat were taken at 44s to
46s per quarter for Polish Odessa. In Corn under lock
only a moderate business was doing. Barley was in
good request at an improvement in value of from is to
2s per quarter. The transactions in foreign qualities
were large. There wes a better sale for Malt, at fully,
but at nothing quotable beyond last week's currencies.
The quantity ready for delivery was trifling. Selected
samples of Oats were Is, other kinds 6d per quarter
dearer, with a firm demand. In Beans comparatively
little was doing, but prices were well supported. Peas
moved off readily at is to 2s per quarter more money.
Indian Corn and Meal were held at higher figures.
Town-made Flour rose 2s per sack, and foreign parcels
is to 2s per barrel.
