MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCIIANGE.—(MONDAY.)
Our letters from the leading provincial markets, held
on Saturday, state that a good business was transacted
in Wheat, at, in most instances, an advance in the
qnotations of is per quarter. Fine foreign Wheats
were held for more money. Barley and Oats changed
hands freely, and the currencies had an upward
tendency. Very little was passing in other articles, if
we except Flour, for which the inquiry was exte naive.
Advices from New York, to the 26th ult., represent
the export trade in Flour as heavy. In Grain very little
was doing. Holders of wheat in the continental ports
continue firm ; but Flour is offering, in most of the
French markets, at a decline of one franc per sack.
Very moderate supplies of English grain was re-
ceived up to our market last week. From abroad the
imports amounted to 11,386 quarters of Wheat, 6,342
Barley, 11,410 Oats, 15 fares, 336 Linseed, 327
Rapeseed, 35 sundry Seeds, and 4,468 sacks of Flour.
From Essex and Kent the receipts of Wheat fresh up
to this morning's market, coastwise, were somewhat in
excess of those reported on Monday last, and there was
a decided improvement in the quality of most descrip-
tions. By land •carriage the arrrivals from Norfolk,
Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, &c., were small. The show of
simples being oa the increase, and the attendance of
both town and country buyers proving small, the demand
for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was less active.
However, selected parcels sold at full rates of curreney;
but the middling and inferir parcels, though we cannot
call them cheaper, were slow in sale. The offers from
the East coast to ship Wheats were mostly too high to
admit of speculation, hence very little business wag
transacted for future delivery.
On the whole, the display of foreign Wheat samples,
chiefly ex granary, was good, but the scarcity of good
qualities, most of the late supplies having come from the
westward, was complained of. Such, therefore, were
held at extreme quotations. In the middling and in-
terior kinds only a limited business was doing, at late
figures. Very few floating cargoes were on sale, the
cargoes of most of the ships arriving at Falmouth
having been disposed of.
We bad a fair quantity of light foreign Barley on
show; but that of English was comparatively small.
Most kinds, especially malting parcels, moved off steadily,
and full prices were paid in every instance.
Malt, the supply of which was large, ruled dull, but
we have no change to notice in its value.
The French Oats were much out of condition, and the
total supply of that grain, English as well as foreign, was
small. The trade ruled steady, and, in some instances,
prices were the turn in favour of sellers.
There was a slight improvement in the demand for
both Beans and Peas—the receipts of which were mode-
rate—and late rates were fairly supported. Indian Corn
without attention, yet holders of floating cargoes were
firm.

The Flour trade was steady, at last week's quotations.
The nominal top price of English was 40s per 2801ba.
French Flour was offering in great abundance.

The arrivals of foreign Stock into London last week
were again extensive—the total supply amounting to
2,218 head. During the corresponding period in 1850 r
we received 1,151; in 1849, 1,061; and in 1848, 1.395
head. Nearly the whole of the foreign Sheep halo
reached us out of the wool.
