MARKET NEWZ.—(fbis Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
rather scantily supplied with English wheat, and the de-
mand for most kinds ruled steady, at full prices. Fine
barley supported former terms, but other qualities were
heavy. Most other kinds of produce moved off slowly at
barely late rates.
The French markets have been rather dull for wheat ;
but advices from other quarters state that a steady busi-
ness has been lately passing in that grain, at full prices.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last
week, were only moderate. From abroad the imports
amounted to 27,882 quarters of wheat, 2,774 barley, 9,628
oats, 673 beans, 1,825 peas, 560 tares, 7,680 linseed, 3,240
rapeseed, 54 mustard seed, 2,270 sundry seeds, 339 sacks, )
and 36,785 barrels of flour.

IThe supply of English wheat received fresh up to our
market to-day from, the home counties was very moderate,
but there was a further slight improvement in the condi-
tion of most of the samples. There was a fair attendance
of both town and country millers. The demand for al
kinds of wheat of home produce ruled steady, and last
Monday's quotations were well supported ; in some in-
stances prices were rather in favour of sellers.
There was rather a large quantity of foreign wheat on
the market, fresh as well as ex granary. Importers were
firm in their demands, and an improved amount of busi-
ness was tram,, cted, in most descriptions, at full prices.
Floating cargob:4 were held at extreme rates, but sales
were comparatively s:Iall.

The show of barley wael only moderate, moat of the late
arrivals having been worke(i off, and the barley trade ruled
steady, at full currencies.

Malt was in fair supply and sluggish request on former
terms.

There was a fair demand for oats, and late rates were
well supported. Fine corn was 6d dearer. Beans were in
improved request , but not dearer.

Peas sold to a fair extent, on former terms, except white
qualities, which were is to 2s per quarter cheaper.
We had an improved demand for flour, at very full
prices. The show of American was large.
