MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

C RN-EXCH AN GE—(MONDAY.)
Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
fairly supplied with English Wheat, for which the de-
mand ruled inactive, at, in some instances, drooping
prices. No material change took :place in foreign
Wheat. The Barley trade was firm, and the quotations
had an upward tendency. Most other spring corn com-
manded very little attention. Flour was quite as dear,
with a good consumptive demand.
Advices from New York to the 14th inst. state that
rather more business was doing in Flour, at full prices.
Grain, however, was much neglected. The French
markets have continued very dulL In the Baltic and
Black Sea ports, scarcely any business has been trans-
acted on English account.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of home-
grown produce were small. From abroad we received
12,000 quarters of Wheat, 2,575 Barley, 9,010 Oats,
2,107 Beans, 3;903 Linseed, 1,646 Rapeseed, 75 Mus-
tard seed, 369 sundry seeds, 1,517 sacks and 1,000 bar-
rels of Flour.:
To-day's market was very moderately supplied with
samples of Wheat, coastwise, from Essex, Kent, and
Suffolk. By land-carriage from Norfolk, and some of
the midland counties, the receipts were seasonably exten-
sive, and in excellent condition. On the whole, the
stands exhibited but a limited show of samples of both
red and white, in which a fair average business was
transacted, at prices about equal to those obtained on
Monday last, and at which a good clearance was readily
effected. The number of offers at hand from the east
coast, as well as from other parts, was by no moans large;
yet very few sales were concluded, at about stationary
figures.
There was a slight increase in the show of fresh
Foreign Wheat, whilst that of granaried samples was
good. Really fine parcels sold at full currencies. In
low and middling kinds very little was doing for home
consumption. For shipment to Holland about 500
quarters were disposed of.
Scarcely any floating cargoes were offering off Fal-
mouth. To arrive, 2,000 quarters were taken for Hol-
land at 323 for Polish Odesse.
The show of both English and Foreign Barley was
very moderate. Most descriptions were in steady,
though by no means active request, at fully last week's
quotations.
Malt, the supply of which was moderate, moved off
steadily, at late rates.
With Oats we were very scantily supplied.' Really good
corn sold steadily at a trifle more money, whilst other
kinds were quite as dear as last week.
We had a slow sale for Beans, yet prices were well
supported.
White Peas were very dull, and the turn lower. In
other kinds no change took place.
Indian Corn was almost nominal, but a good business
was transacted in Flour, at full quotations.

corresponding period, in 1850, were 9,334; in 1849,
6,527; in 1848, 14,301; and in 1847, 4,980 head.
