21118 DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

We were again very scantily supplied with English
wheat to-day, coastwise and by land carriage. The de-
mand for all kinds was steady, at fully Monday's currency,
at which, however, very few sellers came forward ; hence
the business done was trifling.
Fine foreign wheats were held at fully is per quarter
above Monday's quotations, and the value of all other kinds
was freely supported. Floating cargoes were in improved
request, at extreme rates.
We had an active sale for barley, and prices were well
sur ported. There was a great scarcity of fine samples.
The malt trade showed signs of improvement, at late
rates.

-----
The few first oats sold readily, at very full prices.
Both beans and peas were quite as dear as on Monday,
and flour was held for more money.
