THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
moderately supplied with wheat, and all kinds moved off
slowly, at barely stationary :prices. Fine malting barley
sold at previous rates, but other kinds were dull and droop-
ing. All other produce met a slow inquiry, on rather easier
terms. _ _ .

Throughout the continent wheat has had a drooping
tendency, and the trade has continued heavy. Flour and
other articles have met a dull inquiry. In the United
States, prices generally have been well supported.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English
grain were very moderate. From abroad the imports were
liberal, viz., 10,985 quarters of wheat, 25,951 of barley,
50,451 oats, 9,060 rye, 6,073 beans, 601 peas, 180 tares,
12,730 linseed, 2,117 rapeseed, ,;110 mustard seeds, 7,903
sundry seeds, 330 sacks, and 1,622 barrels of flour.
The arrivals of wheat, fresh up, to-day, from Essex, were
limited—from Kent, moderate. The shew of samples of
both red and white was far from extensive ; nevertheless
there was no life in the trade and millers generally shewed
no inclination to get into stock. Although no quotable
change can be noticed in prices, to have forced sales, lower
rates must have been submitted to. _ _ .

There was a very large quantity of most kinds of foreign
wheat on offer. Even the finest samples were neglected,
and, to have sold inferior parcels, lower rates must have
been submitted to.

Floating cargoes of grain, off Falmouth, were very dull.
We had a fair inquiry for the finest malting barley, at
last week's currency; but grinding and distilling sorts
owing to a large importation, ruled the turn in favour of
buyers.
Malt was in short supply, and moderate request at last
week's currency.
The show of oats was large. Although the demand was
not to say brisk, a fair average business was transacted, at
about last week's quotatians.
Beans and peas moved off slowly, but we have no change
to notice in their value. _

Flour was at dull inquiry, but not cheaper.
Fine canary seed realised 90s. per quarter.
