7 HIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.
Our market to-day was scantily supplied with English
wheat, in, for the most part, middling condition. For all
kinds the demand riled steady, but far from active, at Mon-
day's currency.
There was a fair inquiry for foreign wheat, in which,
however, the business done was limited. In prices no
change took place. The imports are only 450 quarters.
Floating cargoes of grain supported last week's quota-
tations.

We had a steady inquiry for all kinds of barley, at fully
late rates.

There was very little inquiry for malt ; nevertheless,
factors were firm in their demand.

The arrivals of oats continue very limited. The demand
for them was steady, at extreme rates.

Both beans and peas were in short supply, and fair re-
quest, on former terms. In the value of flour no change
took place.
