THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.
The leading country, markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat; nevertheless, all kint
moved off heavily, at drooping currencies. Barley, as well
as all other spring corn, including flour, commanded very
little attention, on easier terms.
Throughout the continent wheat and flour have sold at
full quotations, but the transactions in those articles have
been by no means extensive. Spring corn has continued
tolerably firm in price. The American markets have bee
less excited of late, and the quotations generally have
further advanced.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were very moderate. From abroad we received liberal our
plies, viz., 27,500 qrs of wheat, 6,370 of barley, 23,311 oats,
30 beans, 188 peas, 4,065 linseed, 4,329 rapeseed, 115 sunchl
seeds, 7,977 sacks and 1,926 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to-day from Essex, the receipts of wheat wed;
limited—from Kent, only moderate; but there were severe'
of lastXonday's unsold samples on offer. The attendance
of both town and country millers was small, and the de'
mand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled Ilea/
in the extreme, at a decline in the quotations, when COlr
pared with Monday last, of from 2s. to -3s. per quarter. .
The stands were rather heavily supplied with fore?
