THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were
fairly supplied with wheat, and all kinds met a dull in-
quiry at drooping currencies. For spring corn the demand
was much less active, and some descriptions of flour were
offering on easier terms.

Throughout the Continent wheat has supported late quo-
tations, but the demand has ruled inactive. All spring
corn, however, has commanded extreme rates. In the
United States no change of importance has taken place in
value of either wheat or flour.

The arrivals of home-grown produce into the port of
London last week were only moderate. The imports from
I abroad, however, were liberal—viz , 15,336 qrs. of wheat,
9,272 of barley, 27,360 oats, 170 beans, 206 peas, 55 tares,
65 linseed, 175 sundry seeds, and 1,000 sacks of flour.
Fresh up to our market this morning a very limited
supply of wheat came to hand, both from Essex and Kent,
in fair average condition. There was a slight increase in
the number of millers in attendance, and most kinds of
wheat of home produce were taken by them somewhat
slowly at last Monday's decline in the quotations, and at
which the bulk of the supply was disposed of. At the close
of business, however, Kentish wheats gave way is per qr.
Foreign wheat, the show of which was moderately good,
changed hands slowly ; nevertheless no change: took place
in the quotations.

Floating cargoes of grain were much less active. In
prices, however, no change took place.
Malting barley was dull, and irregular in price ; but
grinding and distilling sorts changed hands steadily at late
rates.

We have to report a dull sale for malt on former terms.
The oat trade was steady, but no change took place in
prices.

Beans were in short supply and fair request at full quota•

There was a fair inquiry for peas at fully late rates.
The flour trade was in a sluggish state, at last Monday's
quotations.
