CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat, and the demand for all
kinds ruled steady on higher terms. Barley moved off
freely at very full prices, and all other articles commanded
extreme quotations.

Tho continental markets have been firm for wheat on
higher terms. Spring corn has sold at very full prices.
Up to our market last, week only moderate supplies of
produce came fresh to hand. From abroad, the imports
were liberal, viz., 19,506 quarters of wheat, 20,667 barley,
35,983 oats, 1,013 beans, 21 peas, 1,600 linseed, 8,350 rape
seed, 650 Indian corn, a'd 710 barrals of flour.
To-clay's market was but moderately supplied with Eng-
lish wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, but the general
condition of the samples was tolerably good, compared with
some previous weeks. For most descriptions, the demand
was far from active ; nevertheless, in most instances, prices
were from ls. per quarter higher than on Monday last.
The attendance of millers was not to say numerous. The
show of foreign wheat was moderately extensive. For
good heavy qualities there was a fair demand, at prices
varying from ls. to 2s. per quarter above those current on
Monday last. In other qualities, about an average busi-
ness was transacted, at full quotations.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, although
numerous vessels laden with grain have reached the
Thames, to-day, from the Baltic.

The show of both English and foreign barley was
limited, and the demand ruled steady, at full prices.
There was very little inquiry for malt, yet factors were
not sellers on lower terms.

The show of oats was large, yet the oat trade ruled firm,
and last week's prices were well supported.
We had a good demand for baans, at an advance in the
quotations of, la per quarter.

Peas were quite as dear as last week. The supply was
unusually small.

The flour trade ruled steady, and country markets were
held for more money.

foreign stock, for which the demand ruled steady.

difficulty, at 5s per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex,
and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,600 Scots and short
horns ; from other parts of England, 300 of various breeds ;
