MARKET NEWS.-(TDIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

_ __ _ • _•Compared with' those of many previous weeks, the
arrivals of English Wheat up to our market since Mon-
day last have been somewhat extensive, but of very mid-
dling quality, especially as relates to the samples from
Essex and Kent. Those of Spring Corn, as well as
Flour, were small, the time of year considered. Scarcely
any grain came to hand either from Ireland or Scotland.
Very liberal supplies came fresh to hand from abroad,
viz., 45,199 quarters of Wheat, 13,517 ditto of Barley,
27,414 ditto of Oats, 2,977 ditto of Rye, 1,381 ditto of
Beans, 6,770 ditto of Peas, 613 ditto of Tares, 5,450
ditto of Linseed, 575 ditto of Rspeseed, 5 ditto of
Brann, 107 ditto of Mustard Seed, 1,968 ditto of sundry
seeds, including about 900 quarters of Indian
Corn ; 1,500 barrels and 3,938 sacks of Flour, chiefly
from New York and Havre, and of good average quality.
The quantity of Wheat received fresh up this morning,
coastwise and by land :carriage, 'from Kent and Cam-
bridgeshire, was small ; that from Essex somewhat on
the increase. Nearly the whole of the samples were con-
siderably out of condition, and, consequently, scarcely
fit for the millers' purposes, without a large admixture
of foreign. Comparatively speaking, the stands were
fairly supplied with samples of both red and white. Al-
though the atten,lance of buyers were tolerably good,
the demand for all kinds of Wheat of Home produce,
owing to the large imports from abroad, and the pressure
of flue qualities on the market, was in a very inactive
state, at a decline in the quotations paid on Monday last
of 2s per quarter, and at which a clearance was not effected.
The supply of English Barley was somewhat on the in-
crease—that of Foreign but moderate, considering the
late large importations. Making qualities moved off
steadily, at very full prices; while the value of Grinding
and Distilling sorts was well supported. There was a
decided improvement in the demand for nearly all kinds
of Malt, the show of which was rather limited, and
prices, both on the spot and for delivery, were well sup-
ported. The quantity of Oats on show was by
no means heavy, yet it proved quite equal to the
wants of the dealers. Fine dry samples moved
off steadily, at fully last week's quotations. The
heated parcels were a dull inquiry, and some-
what easier to purchase. For Beans the supply
of which was tolerably good, we had a slow in-
quiry; yet last week's prices were mostly supported.
White Peas were dull, and from Is to 2s per quarter
lower. The value of other kinds had a downward ten-
dency. Indian Corn and Meal were dull, but not
cheaper. The best parcels of Flour supported late
rates; but country marks were considered a trifle lower.
