CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were
scantily supplied with wheat, which, in most instances,
was disposed of at is to 2s per quarter more money. The
small quantity of barley, oats, beans, and peas on offer
changed hands at very full prices, and there was an im-
proved inquiry for flour.
On the Continent, owing to the continuance of wet wea-
ther, the wheat trade has become firmer. In prices, how-
ever, no change of importance has taken place. All spring
corn has realised extreme currencies. The export inquiry
for flour has somewhat increased in the United States, and
prices have had an upward tendency.
The arrivals of English produce up to our market last
week were again limited. The imports from abroad were
large, viz., 33,600 qrs. of wheat, 3,403 barley, 47,580 oats,
205 tares, 6,640 linseed, 3,820 rapeseed, 1,460 maize, 100
sundry seeds, 7,591 sacks, and 11,228 barrels of flour.
Notwithstanding that nearly the whole of the country
markets come dearer, and that harvest operations are very
backward, no inclination was shown on the part of the
millers, to-day, to get into stock. The show of English
wheat was trifling, coastwise and by land carriage. Good
and useful qualities were disposed of somewhat steadily,
and, in some instances, last week's prices were rather
exceeded. At the close of business prices were 2s. higher.
There were several large country buyers in attendance,
and they took off full average quantities of foreign wheat,
at quite is per quarter above last week's quotations. For
consumption in London, however, the demand was by no
means active, at fully late rates.

Floating cargoes of grain moved off steadily, on former
terms.

We were scantily supplied with barley, and the whole of
the supply on offer was disposed of at very fully prices.
Town-made malt changed hands steadily; other kinds
slowly, at late quotations.

There was a good consumptive demand for oats, at very
full prices.

Beans were in short supply and good request, at las
week's quotations.

Peas were quite as dear as last week, with a steady in.
quiry.

The flour trade was firm, and country marks were held
on rather higher terms.
