MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Fresh p, i
a very limited supply of English
wheat came to hand,
a but the show of Monday's unsaid
samples was rather extensive. For all kinds the demand
ruled heavy, but we have no actual change to notioe in i;he
quotations.
There was a large quantity of foreign wheat in the m NT-
ket, and that grain met a dull inquiry, at barely station: try
prices.
We had a slow sale for barley, at Monday's decline in
value.

In malt very little was doing, on former terms.
Oats were in moderate supply and fair request, at f
ull
prices.
Beans and peas supported previous rates ; but flour s fas
dull, and lower to purchase.
