MARKET NE WS.—crms DA Y •)

CORN EXCLIA.NGE—NIONDAY•
There Iva,: a slight improvement in the demand for most
kinds of Engbsh and Foreign Wheats in the leading pro
vineial ma•k,•ts held ou Saturda ; but no advance was no-
ticed in the quotations. Barley, the supplies of which were
very modarate, sold freely, and selected qualities improved
iu value Is per quarter. For Malt and Oats the demand
ruled Etea.y, at extreme currencies. All other articles were
very inactive.
In France, a large business is still doing in Flour for s a
hip-
merit to the United Kingdom ; nevertheless, prices have
downward tendency. The Baltic and Black Sea markets are
heavy. Up to our markets last week the receipts of English
grain were very moderate. From abroad, we received 1,170
quarters of Wheat, 4,230 Barley, 16,713 Oats, 1,330 Beans,
150 Pea,, 610 Tares,. 33 sundry Seeds, 5,0v5 sacks and 10J
barrels Flour.
Fresh up to this morning's market, the arrivals of Wheat,
coestwiee from E:.=sex and Kent, were moderate, and in
gr4atly improved condition. From Lincolnshire, Norfolk,
t•.ey were comparatively small. By land carriage and
sample the supply was very limited, but chiefly of fine
qualit . The show of samples of both red and white Wheat
of home produce was by n,, means extensive, but fully equal
to the wants of the millers, whose sittendalice was far from
numerous. Seected qualities were in moderate request, at
last week's currency. In the middling and inferior kinds,
next to nothing was doing, but no change took place iu their
value. At the close of the market, a fair clearance had been
effected.
A few transactions took place in Wheat for forward ship-
merit from the east coast, at late rates.
The total quantity of fresh foreign Wheat was small in
comparison with that shown on some previous market days,
but we had a good sprinkling of ex-granary samples, and
numerous cargoes of Polish, Odessa, off Falmouth, were on
offer. Fine dry 11)eats sold slowly, yet holders were very
firm. In the middlirg and inferior qualities a moderato
business was doing, at late currencies. . The Wheats afloat
above referred to, were offering at 33s to 343 per, 'quart"
cost, freigh and insurance.
With -both English and , foreign Barley we were by 1:10
means heavily supplied. Fine samples, fit for malting put.
poses, changed hands steadily, at extreme prices, but grind'
ing and distilling sorts ruled dull.
Malt, the supply of which was moderate, sold slowly; Yetts
late rates were ,well supported. The supply of Foreign-
full
Oa
bei, g on the increase, the Oat trade was less active, at
prices. Beans moved off slowly, but we have no change to
notice in their value. In Peas and Indian Corn very little
was doing. No change took place in the value of Flour, in
which article a steady business was doing.
