CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat, yet all kinds sold slowly,
and, in some instances, prices had a drooping tendency.
There was less activity in the demand for spring corn and
flour, at about previous quotations. _ _ _

Throughout the continent wheat has met a slow inquiry,
yet very little change has taken place in its value. Barley
and other produce have realised very fall currencies. In the
United States the market generally have shown less firm-
ness.

About average supplies of home-grown produce were re-
ceived up to our market last week. From abroad the imports
were very moderate, viz.-6,120 qrs. of wheat, 9,834 barley,
28,931 oats, oats, 2,132 beans, 500 peas, 5 tares 4 linseed,
636 rapeseed, 4 mustard seed, 50 sundry seeds, and 134 sacks
and 2,106 brls. of flour.
Fresh up, to-day, from Essex and Kent coastwise and
by land carriage, only a moderate supply of wheat came to
hand. Notwithstanding that, the show of samples, both
red and white was rather- for the time of year,
millers purchased cautiously, and the demands for all kinds
ruled very inactive, at a decline in the quotations realised
on this day se'nnight of from 18. to 2s. per quarter, and at
which some difficulty was experienced in effecting sales.
We were well supplied with. nearly all kinds of foreign
wheat. Even the finest samples met a very dull inquiry,
and the quotations were almost nominal. Inferior samples
were offering at fully Is. per quarter less money.
Floating cargoes of grain, off
.Falmouth, wore a dull
inquiry. _ _ _ _ _

English barley, the show of which was limited, sold at
full prices; but foreign ;qualities were dull, at barely late
rates.

There was a moderate business doing in malt, at last
week's currency.

There was a moderate inquiry for most kinds of oats, at
last week's quotations.

Beans sold to a moderate extent, at late currencies.
Maple and grey peas supported former terms; but white
parcels were rather cheaper.

For flour, the demand ruled heavy, and prices were a
shade lower than last week.
