CORN EXCHANGE.

Meeting This Day.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were ♦ery
moderately supplied with wheat, and the trade ruled
steady, on higher terms. Barley was in improved request,
and rather dearer. Most other articles, including flour,
were tolerably firm.

A meeting of the hoard was held this morning at Bur-
lington-house, Piccadilly ; Mr. John Thwaites in the
chair. There was a full attendance of the members of
the board. A large number of the public was present,
in consequence of the great interest attached to the elec-
tion of a clerk to the board, appointed to take place to-
day.
Mr. B. Drew officiated as hon. secretary in the ab-
sence of Mr. Wilkinson.

The continental markets continue heavy and drooping
for nearly all kinds of produce. In the United States
large quantities of produce continue to change hands on
English account.

The arrivals of barley last week, coastwise, were good ;
but those of other home-produce were limited. From
abroad, we received 1,977 quarters of wheat, 170 barley,
:37,928 oats, 755 beans, 665 peas, 654 tares, 9,332 linseed,
and 1,729 rapeseed.
The supply of English wheat on sale to-day is but mode-
rate, though in improved condition. The business doing
bas not been extensive, yet prices have advanced 2s per
quarter. At the close of the market a clearance had not
been effected. . _

The minutes of the last meeting were read and con-
firmed.

Mr. Henry Bidgood was introduced as a member of
the board for St. James's, in the room of Sir John V.
Shelley, Bart., M.P., resigned.

Foreign wheat was in improved request, and quite as dear
as last week. _

There was a steady sale for barley, the prices of which
advanced Is. per quarter.
In malt very little was doing, on former terms.
We had a fair demand for oats, at full quotations.
Both beans and peas moved off freely, at is per quarter
morn mosey.
The flour trade was firm, and oountry qualities were the
turn dearer. American flour was held for rather more
money.
