MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-(MONDAY.)
The leading country markets, held on Saturday, were
well supplied with home-grown Wheats ; nevertheless,
the demand ruled heavy, and, in some instances, prices
advanced Is. per quarter. Foreign Wheats were held at
extreme quotations. In Barley, the receipts of which
were on the increase, very little was doing, on lower
terms. Malt, however, was quite as dear. The Oat
trade was tolerably firm. Both Beans and Peas rea-
lized higher rates. Indian Corn and Flour were in im-

proved request.
In the Baltic ports a steady business has been tran-
sacted of late for spring delivery. The Dutch markets
continue firm, at higher rates. Most of those in France,
owing to political excitement, :have been very inactive.
In the United States both Wheat and Flour were firmer
at the date of our last advises.

Very moderate supplies of English grain were re-
ceived up from market last week. From abroad the
imports were 5,956 quarters of Wheat, 2,055 Barley,
15,459 Oats, 2,379 Beans, 632 Peas, 1,375 Tares, 5,203
Linseed, 2,470 Rapeseed, and 129 sundry seeds.
Fresh up to-day the receipts of Wheat from Essex,
Kent, and Suffolk coastwise, were very moderate, but
in excellent condition. By land carriage from Norfolk,
Cambridgeshire, &c., the supply was tolerably good;
but as a large portion bad been disposed of prior to
arrival, the show of samples of both red and white was
by no means large, On the whole the attendance of
both town and country millers was rather numerous.
Selected samples of both red and white Wheat of home
produce moved off steadily at last Monday's advance in
the quotations. In the middling and inferior kinds com-
paratively little business was transacted at late rates.
Most of the offers on band to forward Wheats from
the Midland counties, as also from the Essex coast, were
at much higher prices, say 2s per quarter.
Very little fresh Foreign Wheat was brought for-
ward, and that chiefly of low quality. At least two-
thirds of the Baltic imports, last week, wont direct to
the millers. For fine heavy parcels we had a steady in-
quiry, at full prices; and all low kinds were considered
quite as dear.
Floating cargoes off the coast were inquired for on
Dutch account. Polish Odessa changed hands at 32a 6d
per quarter, inclusive of all charges.
About 5,000 quarters of Indian Corn afloat was dis-
posed of at 26s 3d for Galati.
With English Barley we were seasonably well sup-
plied, but the show of foreign samples were small.
Good heavy parcels were scarce, and quite as dear.
Grinding and distilling qualities met a dull inquiry.
The Malt trade was firm, and last week's prices wore
well supported in every instance. With Oats we were
but moderately supplied; nevertheless, the trade was in
a sluggish state, at about stationary prices. Beans met
a very dull inquiry, at a decline in the quotations of Is.
per quarter. Maple and grey Peas gave way is per
quarter. White were scarce, and held at the late ad-
vances.

We had a steady sale for all kinds of Flour, at full
currencies. The nominal top price of the best town
made was 37s per 2801bs.
