CORN EXCHANGE.

Z here was a fair demand for wheat in most of the coat'
try markets held on Saturday, and good and fine larePle°
sold on rather higher terms. Barley commanded no/
attention, and the value of other kinds of produce vmewer,
supported. Flour was in improved request, at very full
prices.
The Continental markets have ruled steady for wheat °II
English n# t ; but the business done has been by 11°
means e e. Spring corn has moved off steadily, °I/
former t Advices from the United States are to the
effect that carcely any produce was in progress of ship'
ment to England.
The arrivals of English produce up to our market, 10V
week, were very moderate. The imports from abroad Were
seasonably good,—viz , 35,561 quarters of wheat, 12,1
barley, 43,942 oats, 10,435 rye, 756 beans, 8,404 peal, 83
tares, 13,693 linseed, 4,259 rapeseed, 10 sundry seeds, av

sacks and 18,079 barrels of flour.
The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to-01,i
coastwise and by land-carriage, was only limited, all
chiefly in poor condition. The attendance of buyers
tolerably good, and both red and white parcels moved °
freely, at an advance in the quotations realised on Alond°;,
last of from is to 2s per quarter, and at which nearly the
whole of the supply changed hands. Some of the satilPlel
were only fit for starch purposes.
- Notwithstanding that the supply of foreign wheat, frooll"
as well as ex-granary, was very large, most description°
changed hands freely, at an improvement in value of frfil
Is to 2s per quarter. It is computed that nearly 10/uvw
quarters changed hands.
Floating cargoes of grain were held for more money;
the business doing in them was by no means extensive',
We have to report a good consumptive demand for Wei;
and most kinds were is per quarter dearer than on thin (1.1
se' nni gb t.
Both old and new malt moved off steadily, and Pr'
were well supported.
There was a good consumptive demand for oats, at
per quarter more money.
Both beans and peas were in request, and, in some ill.'
stances, is per quarter dearer. 10
The flour trade was steady, Country flour advanced
per 2801bs.
