CORN EXCHANGE.

(Meeting• This Day.)

There was Tory little business doing in wheat in the
]siding country markets held on Saturday, and prices were
rather in favanr of buyers. Fine barley appears to be
very scarce in most quarters. The value of that article,
therefore, continues very firm. In other kinds of spring
corn, including flour, only a limited business was trans -
acted.

BIRTH OF it, TRENCH PRINCE.

Most of the continental markets continue dull for wheat
and other produce. Holders, however, are tolerably firm.
Our New York advises bring very little change in prices.
The arrivals of English grain lip to our market, last
week, were limited. From abroad we received 7,783 qrs.
of wheat, 40 barley, 16,832 oats, 24 beans, 357 tares, 2,882
linseed, 2,564 rapeseed, 10 sundry seeds, 150 sacks and
10,563 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to day a ♦ery moderate supply of English
wheat came to hand, coastwise and by land carriage. The
show of samples of both red and white was therefore
limited, though their quality was good. Owing to the
holidays the attendance of both town and country millers
was small, consequently the demand for all kinds of wheat
of home produce ruled heavy, and where sales took place
prices ruled from 4s to 5s per quarter lower than on Mon-
day last.
With foreign wheat we were but moderately supplied.
The finest qualities were held somewhat firmly, at full
quotations ; but the business doing in all kinds was very
limited, at barely stationary prices.
Floating cargoes of grain were less active.
Fine barley was very scarce, and quite as dear as last
week. Inferior kinds moved off slowly, at late rates.
Malt was tolerably steady, at the late improvemext in
value.

The LORD MAYOR at di 1, he felt certain no apology
was needed for his them together that day, rela-
tive to the birth of a P 'rench prince, especially when
they considered the cl bt le amity that existed between
France and England, at td ' recollected the auspicious visit
of their Imperial Majes tit is to this city.
Hr. Deputy LOTT, in moving a resolution in accord-
ance with the purposes o f the meeting, briefly alluded to
their Imperial Majesties? visit to this country, and re-
marked that the health .)1 the Prince was most auspicious
being on the eve of heat e which all so ardently desired.
He concluded by movin j the adoption of the resolution.

There was a fair show of oats, chiefly foreign. On the
whole, the demand was steady, at last week's quotations.
•We had a fair demand for beans, at lato rates. The sup-
ply was moderate.
Peas changed hauels slowly, yet prices were supported.
We had a dull sale for flour, and country marks were ra-
ther easier to purchase, the fall being fully 2s. per sack.
