TELLS DAY'S MARKETS.

WOOL.

CORN EXCHANGE.
The leadng country markets be'd on Saturday were only
mederatelysupplied with wheat, and the trade, generally,
ruled steak, at full prices. Barley, oats, beans, and peas
were in fair equest, and the quotations were well supported.
In flour, a ftir business was doing, on former terms.
The French markets have exhibited more firmness, and
an advance his taken place in prices. At New York, both
wheat and lion. were in demand, for export, at full curren-

cies.
Very limitel quantities of English grain were received
up to our marint last week. From abroad, we received 28,812
quarters of wheat ; 7,920 barley ; 5,571 oats ; 4,078 beans,
500 peas ; 720 Ares ; 610 linseed ; 1,020 rapeseed ; 5 maze ;
542 seeds ; 40 tacks, and 4,850 barrels of flour.
Fresh up: to this morning's market, the arrivals of Eng-
lish wheat weresomewhat on the increase, and the quality
of the samples vere very fine. Fo: both red and white
qualities, the trade was in a sluggish state, and last Mon-
day's currency vas with difficulty supported. At the close
of the market, a portion of the supply was left unsold
The show of samples of foreign wheat was moderately
extensive. The amount of business transacted was rather
limited ; nevertheless, prices were fairly maintained, im-
porters generally being firm in their demands.
Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a moderate
extent, on former terms.
With barley we were only moderately supplied. For all
kinds, however, the inquiry ruled inactive, and prices, with
the exception of the finest malting qualities, which were
the turn cheaper, gave way is to 2s. per quarter.
Good and fine malt was in fair request at full quotations ;
but in other kinds very little was done.
The finest description of oats sold steadily, at quite pre-
vious rates ; but inferior qualities, the supply of which was
rather extensive, moved of heavily, at a reduction in value
in several instances of is per quarter.
There was a decided increase in the show of beans, and
the trade was less firm, at a decline of is per quarter.
Peas fairly supported previous rates, but the demand for
them was by no means active. The show of samples was
only moderate. _ .

In flour rather a limited business was transacted, but
prices were maintained.
