THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

A very limited supply of English wheat was on sale in
to-day's market. For good and fine qualities we had a
fair demand at full quotations ; but inferior parcels were a
slow inquiry at late rates.

In foreign wheat—the show of which was large—very
little business was transacted on former terms. Floating
cargoes of grain supported previous rates.
Fine malting barley moved off steadily—other kinds
slowly at Monday's currency.
Old malt was firm in price, with a fair demand ; but new
qualities moved off slowly on former terms.
There was an improved feeling in the oat trade; but no
advance took place in the quotations.
Beans, peas, and flour supported Monday's quotations.

may be drawn back to Fyzabad.

reabad, and Fyzabad, will all be kept moveable, to

amounting to about 5,000 Europeans and 2,000
natives."
