MARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANG
Notwithstanding that the supplies of Wheat
weretonsale
byin theno
Principal country markets held on
means large, the demand for all descriptions ruled heavy, at
Wheats
drooping prices. All foreign were very dull in sale.
Barley and Malt supported previous currencies, whilst Oats
improved in value 6d to is per quarter. Beans, Peas, and
Indian Corn were unaltered. In Flour next to nothing was
doing.
Advices from New York state that the river navigation
was open. As the supplies of most articles were rapidly on
the increase, the general demand ruled heavy. Large quan-
tities of Flour have changed bards in France on English ac-
count. In the Baltic and Black Sea ports there is an in-
creased inquiry fur Wheat.
Up to our market last week the receipts of English Grain
were small. From abroad we received 31,121 quarters of
Wheat; 11,249 Barley; 30,255 Oats; 4.300 Beans; 122
Peas ; 3,158 Linseed ; 1,8 Rapeseed ; 1,r,64 sundry Seeds ;
9,116 sacks and 2,349 barrels of Flour.
The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to this
morning's market from Essex and Kent, coast w4e was very
moderate,blsriudtgsoetiie
of fair average quality. From Norfolk, Suf-
folk,
tic., the receipts by land cat rings were
small, and the bulk of the su -ply was somewhat out of con-
, ition. The show of samples of both red and while being
small, and the attendance of both town and country millers
on the increase, the demand for all kinds of English Wheat
ruled steady, and a good clearance was effected at prices
quite equal to those of Monday last.
Numerous offers came to hand from the East coast, to
ship Wheats on rather easier terms, at which about 1,000
quarters were taken mostly by town millers, most of whom
are unusually short of stocks for the time of year.
The show of forei4n Wheat was decidedly geed, and
some of the importers have been compelled to Find their
cargoes in warehouse from want of buyers. Selected qua-
lities sold somewhat freely at full rates of currency. In the
middling and inferior kinds comi.aratively little business was
transacted, but we have no change to notice in prices.
Floating cargoes of Wheat off Falmouth and Queenstown

were offering' at untvually low figures, whilst we had nu'
memus offers from the Baltic ports at drooping quotatione.,
The supply of English Barley was very small— that 01
foreign extensive. On the whole we had a fair inquiry for
fine parcels, whilst low and secondary kinds were held st
full prices.
The quantity of Malt offering was on the increase. BIOSt
the
kinds sold slowly, but we have no decline to report iti
quotations.
Although the imports of foreign Oats have been veils
extensive, the demand for that article ruled steady, at lit
rate?,
Slected qualities of Beans uled firm, and quite as dear 0
laste week ; but the amount offusinese doing was small. d
Peas came slowly to hand, and all kinds were held at IV
prices.
Indian Corn , b nt cheaer.
A good business wasut doiong in fopreign Flour, at lest
made
currency. The top or nominal price of the best town-
was 38s per 2801bs.

For the time of year, our markets are heavily OPP' „
with Po atoes; but we are now beginning to experience,
deficient supply of really prime qualities Such, therefor_:
are looking up in price; but the demand is by no meang tc,

The next series of colonial Wool sales will commence
the 15th inst. The quantity expected to be offeredot
30,000 bales; but that in warehouse at the present inen7.o
does not exceed 17,000 bales; consequently, as the suPPilbe
arriving during the pr,,gress of the auctions will not
so
brought to the hammer, 13,000 Imles have, yet to come
eumplete the intended supply. The private ms,ket is hell
and pikes are barely sup[ orted. Last week's imposts
Londcn amounted to 454 bales from Algoa Bay, 92 Nl'
Mogadore, t:7 fr m the Cape, 863 from Port Elizabeth, three
bags from JElamburgb, and 8 , from Buenos Ayres.
TALLOW.
As there is every prospect of a speedy re-opening ofthl
navigation up the Baltic, and as the supply of Town Taut;
continues large, our market is excessively heavy at a furtbg;
reduction in prices of 6d per cwt. To-dab, Y. C. on thd
spot, is selling at 38s dto; 9s pe^ cwt. No sales for forwarafb
delivery. Town Tallow is 37s per cwt 'net cash ; R
Fat, 2s Id per 81bs. Letters from St. Peteriburgh reprellet
the trade very inactive far the time of year.
