CORN EX C H ANGE.

There was a moderate demand for wheat in the leading
country markets held on Saturday, and prices were rather
dearer. All spring corn, the supplies of which were
limited, sold at very full currencies. Our advices from
the near continental ports state that the wheat trade has
become less active. Holders of grain, however, have been
very firer. The American markets continue steady, with
fair arrivals of wheat and flour. Only limited supplies of
home-grown produce were received up to our market last
week. The imports of foreign amounted to 10,993 quar-
ters of wheat, 1,713 barley, 22,502 oats, 3,477 beans, 7,901
linseed, 34,432 rapeseed, 1,915 sundry seeds, 465 sacks, and
1,000 barrels of flour.
The quantity of English wheat received fresh up
to our market to-day, coastwise and by land car-
riage, was very moderate, and the show of samples
of both red and white were small. Owing to the
limited number of millers in attendance, and the
favourable accounts at hand respecting the appearance of
the crops, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home pro-
duce was in a sluggish state. In prices, however, we have
no actual change to notice compared with Monday last.
There was a slight increase in the show of fresh foreign
wheat ; but ex granary, the supply was trifling. The
amount of business doing in all kinds was limited, at about
stationary prices.
The demand for floating cargoes of grain on continental
account was less active.
We were very scantily supplied with barley, in which
•3ly a limited business was transacted, at late rates.

The malt trade was inactive, on former terms.
There was a considerable increase in the supply of fo-
reign oats, and all kinds moved off slowly at barely the
late advance in the quotations.
We had a slow inquiry for beans, but no actual change
took place in value.
Peas were held at full quotations, but the demand for
them was inactive.

---- --
The flour trade was dull, at about stationary prices.
