MARKET NEWS.— (This paY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were very
moderately supplied with wheat. The demand, however,
was inactive, and prices were barely supported. There
was a steady business doing in barley, at full quotations.
Other kinds of produce were heavy.
The continental markets have been rather dull for wheat.
In prices, however, very little change has taken place. The
shipments of grain and flour from the United States have
been very moderate of late.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain
were limited. The imports from abroad were only 1,102
quarters of wheat, 1,387 barley, 2,479 oats, 328 beans,
85 tares, 230 rapeseed, 10 Indian corn, 370 barrels of flour.
Fresh up, to-day, the arrivals of Euglish wheat, coast-
wise and by land carriage, was very limited, and in bad
condition. Although there was a fair attendance of
millers, and the show of samples was trifling, the demand
for most kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, at
prices about equal to those realized on Monday last. A
largo quantity remained unsold at the close of business,
though offered on lower terms.

We were fairly supplied with most kinds of foreign wheat,
wholly ex granary, as numerous floating cargoes of grain
have arrived off the coast from the westward.
Since Friday dealers operated with extreme caution,
consequently the business doing was limited. In the quo-
tations, however, no change took place.
The supply of both English and foreign barley was only
moderate. The trade ruled firm, and prices were well
supported.
For malt we had a slow inquiry, yet no change took
place in its value.

The oat trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms.
The show of samples was rather limited•
There was a better feeling in the demand for boans, and
last Monday's prices were fully obtained in every instance.
Peas wore in short supply and steady request at full quo.
tations.

The flour trade was rather heavy, but no change took
place in prices. The few American parcels in the market
were much neglected.
