•lARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

qCORNEXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
The arrivals of English Wheat from our market this
week have been on a somewhat extensive sale ; never•
theless, n a good clearance of the samples was etncted
on Monday, and as Ihe quantity fresh up was conspara-
tivelY small, the show today was far from extensive.
Owing chiefly to the favourable change in the weather
for harvest work, and the comparatively small number
of buyers in attendance, the demand for all kinds of
Wheat '.ti home produce was by no means active. Still,
howera, the whole of the supply was readily disposed
of, at prices fully equal to those paid on Monday. The
best quanties of Foreign Wheat were in good request at
full rates of currency. The middling arsel inferior kinds
mc,vecl off steadily, at late rates. We had a very firm
ii.squiry for Barley, the best samples of which produced'
IL trifle more money. Malt was slow in sale, but not
cheaper. There was a better inquiry for Oats, at a rise
:in the quotations of quite fid per quarter. Beans, Peas,
Indian Corn and Flour had an upward tendency.
