MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHAINGE.—(3IONDAY.)
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 extensive.
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 etds, and 4,468 sacks of Flour.
From Essex and Kent the receipts of Wheat fresh op
to this morning's market, coastwise, were somewhat in
excess of those reported on Monday last, and there was
a decided improvement in tbo quality of most descrip-
tions. By land ,carriage the arrrivals from Norfolk.
Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, itc., were small. The show of
samples being on 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.
Llowever, selected parcels sold at full rates of currency;
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 was
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 rind 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 had a fair quantity of light foreign Barley on
show; but that of English was comparatively mall.
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 fa
both Beans and Peas—the receipts of which were mode'
rate—and late rates were fairly supported. Indian Cora
without attention, yet holders of floating cargoes were
firm.

The Flour trade was steady, at last week's quotation&
The nominal top price of English was 40s per 28olb4•
French Flour was offning in crest abundance.
