MARKETS.

LONDON CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY.-A steady feeling
prevailed in the Corn Exchange to-day, which may be expected
during the continuance of the cold weather. The business
transacted was on a more liberal scale, and prices throughout
had a strong upward tendency. There was a short supply of
English wheat on sale, which sold steadily, at fully previous
currencies. Foreign wheat, the supply of which was somewhat
limited, experienced a fair demand, at firm quotations. There
was a good show of barley on the stands. Malting parcels sold
cautiously, at late rates. Grinding qualities, were
purchased freely, at prices tending upwards. The
malt trade was depressed, and prices were unchanged.
There were large arrivals of oats on offer. The inquiry was
moderately active, at fully Wednesday's advance of 6d. per
quarter. Beans, peas, and maize met with a steady sale, at
extreme values. Flour was in more active request, and prices
were firmly supported. Arrivals :-English and Scotch: Wheat,
290 ; barley, 2,690 ; malt, 440 ; oats, 100. Foreign : Wheat,
3,120 ; barley, 720 ; oats, 43,540 ; beans, 100 ; flour, 1,150 sacks,
1,710 burrels.

continuance of cold weather and to the shortness of supplies,
