MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY.
To-day's market was well supplied with Wheat from
Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, the total arrivals this week
having amounted to 2,680 quarters. Notwithstanding
the unfavourable accounts respecting the Potato crop,
the demand for all kinds of English Wheat was heavy,
at Monday's decline in the quotations. From abroad,
2,770 quarters of Foreign Wheat have reached us.
Really fine qualities moved off slowly, at unaltered cur-
rencies ; but low and middling kinds were almost
neglecte. In floating cargoes no transactions took
place. We had a steady demand for both English and
Foreign Barley, at full currencies ; whilst Malt was
held at previous rates. Oats, the supply of which was
very moderate, moved off reely at very full prices.
Beans and Peas were very dull; but there was moro in-
quiry for Indian Corn and Flour.
