MARKET N EWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE,-(MONDAY.)
Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
seasonably well supplied with English Wheat, but the
majority of the samples were out of condition. For all
kinds the demand ruled inactive, at a decline in the
quotations of is per quarter. Foreign Wheats were held
at extreme currencies. Fine Malting Barley was scarce
and quite as dear, but grinding and distilling sorts were
lower to purchase. No change took place in Malt; but
Oats, Beans and Peas, were offering on lower terms.
Flour acid Indian Corn were held at full prices.
The latest ad vices from New York:are to the effect that
a fair business was doing in Flour for shipment to the
United Kingdom. I❑ the Baltic and Black Sea ports,
scarcely any sales of grain have taken place on English
account. The French markets have become firmer, at
enhanced currencies.

Up to our market last week, a large quantity of Eng-
lish Barley came to hand. From abroad, we received
5,092 quarters Oats, 760 Beans, 837 Peas, 107 Tares,
482 Linseed, 1,814 Rapeseed, 15 sundry seeds, and
3,491 sacks, together with 22,663 barrels of flour. No
foreign Wheat or Barley reached us.
Coastwie, from Essex and Kent, a fair average time
of year supply of Wheat came fresh to hand for this
morning's market ; but the receipts from Suffolk, &c.,
were comparatively small. By land carriage the arrivals
were by no means large. On the whole, the stands were
fairly supplied with samples of both red and white, the
condition of which was much deteriorated from the
prevailing damp weather. Millers in general were,
therefore, very cautious in their operations, and
sales of homy-grown Wheats progressed slowly at, in
some instances, a decline in prices of is per quarter, and
a total clearance was not effected. Most of the large
dealers continue unusually short of stock.

the tehNNulenoustsmiire.the show of Gran and samples was good. The
transactions in really fine parcels were at extreme quo-
tations. In the middling and inferior kinds very little
was doing, yet the importers wore firm, and prices wore
supported. Floating cargoes were in very moderate re-
quest. Very little foreign Barley was on sale; but
the show of English
was good. Selected malting
qualities changed hands steadily, at full rates of cur-
rency; but low qualities, fit only for grinding and dm-
tilling purposes, were very dull, and Is. per quarter
lower.

Malt—the supply of which was on the increasc—
moved off slowly, at barely stationary prices.
Notwithstanding that the arrivals of Oats have been
small, the Oat trade was dull, yet the quotations were
supported.
Beans, though in moderate supply,
moved off heavily,
at a reduction in value of is per quarter.
All kinds of Peas were very dull in sale, and the
quotations gave way is per quarter.
Indian Corn, nil lat, was firm, at 28s for Galatz.
The supply of Foreign Flour being large, the trade
for English was less active. In prices, however, wo
have no change to notice.
