CORN EXCHANGE.

The country markets held on Saturday were scantily
supplied with fine wheats, which sold steadily on rather
higher terms. 'ln the value of inferior kinds very little
change took place. Barley was firm at extreme rates, and
all other articles sold at full prices.
The value of wheat still continues to rule high in the
continental markets, although steady shipments of pro-
duce continue to be made from the United States.

Up to our market last week the arrivals of English
grain were very moderate. From abroad we received
28,024 quantities of wheat, 3,337 barley, 16,871. oats,
11,967 linseed, 5,335 rapeseed, 60 mustard seed, 1,041
sundry seeds, and 5,273 blues of flour.
The arrivals of English wheat frezh up to our market
to-day from Essex and Kent, coastwise and by land car-
riage, were very moderate, and the majority of the samples
were much out of condition, especially those from Kent.
The show of wheat was small, and millers generally showed
more disposition to purchase. All good and useful kinds
changed hands briskly at an advance in the quotations
realised on Monday last of from is to 2s per quarter.
Damp parcels were firm in price, but the demand for them
was by no means active.

There was a fair ;ho; of most kinds of foreign wheat ;
nevertheless, the demand for that grain ruled steady, and
a fair average business was transacted in most kinds at
very full prices.
We had a better demand for floating cargoes off the
coast.

The few samples of malting barley on offer were quickly
disposed of, at an improvement in value of from Is to Zs
per quarter. Grinding and distilling sorts were in fair
request at full prices.
Malt was in short supply, and fair request, at extreme
quotations.
The show of oats was moderate, and most kinds sold
steadily, at prices quite equal to Monday last.
Both beans and peas were in short supply, and steady re-
quest, at ♦ery full prices.
The flour trade was firm, and, in some instances, coun-
try flour was rather dearer.
