CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading country markets, held on Saturday, were
but moderately supplied with wheat, yet all kinds were
much less active at, however, quite the late advance in the
quotations. For all spring corn there was a steady con-
sumptive inquiry, on former terms. Flour commanded
very full prices. _ _

Throughout the Continent the wheat trade continues ac-
tive, at full prices. Barley and all other produce have
realised comparatively high rates, with a good demand.
The American markets continue inactive.

Only limited supplies of home-grown produce were re-
ceived up to our market last week. The imports from
abroad were extensive, viz., 23,357 quarters of wheat, 10,471
barley, 25,110 oats, 90 beans, 150 peas, 319 tares, 2,355 lin-
seed, 1,693 rapeseed, 1,603 maize, 68 sundry seeds, and 340
sacks of flour.

The quantity of wheat received fresh up to-day, from
Essex, was very limited ; from Kent, moderately good ; and
on the whole, the supply was in fair condition. About 180
quarters of wheat from the former county were disposed of
for shipment to Ireland. For home consumption there was
a fair, but by no means active, inquiry, at last Monday's
advance in tbe quotations.

We were well supplied with Foreign wheat, although
nearly the whole of last week's importation has gone direct
to the millers. All kinds were a slow inquiry. Neverthe-
less, late rates were well supported, and importers generally
were firm in their demands.

Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, but not

dearer.

The show of English barley was very limited—of foreign,
moderately good. All kinds commanded very full prices,
and the trade was in a healthy state.
The malt trade was in a sluggish state. In prices, how-
ever, no change took place.

Oats—although the arrivals from abroad continue in a
Full average scale—moved off freely, at full quotations.
There was a steady sale for both beans and peas, at full

prices.

The flour trade was far from active, yet the advance of
Monday last was well supported.
