THIS DAPS MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
scantily supplied with wheat. The demand was by no
means active ; nevertheless, in some instances, prices had
an upward tendency. Fine barley and oats were the turn
dearer, and all other kinds of produce were firm in prices.
On the Contilient wheat is rising in price, with a good
demand for Spring shipment, and Spring corn has com-
manded very full prices. In the United States both wheat
and flour have become dearer.

The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were very limited. _

The imports from abroad amounted to 10,563 quarters of
wheat, 2,829 barley, 3,638 oats, 1,455 beans, 900 peas, 8,818
linseed, 7,345 rapeseed, 325 sundry, 1,522 sacks and 11,602
barrels of flour.

Owing to the severity of the weather very few samples of
wheat, from Essex and Kent, coastwise, were on offer, and
the arrivals by land carriage were much restricted. Holders
were very firm in their demands, and some of them refused
to sell except at an advance of Is. to 2s. per quarter. The
demand, however, ruled steady, at fully last week's cur-
rency to Is. per quarter improvement. The general quality
of the samples was very middling.
There was a large show of foreign wheat, but it was
chiefly composed of grain and samples. Good useful quali-
ties were disposed of to a fair extent at full quotations ;
but other kinds moved off slowly at late rates.
Fine barley was scarce, and in good request at very full
prices. Inferior samples were firm in value, but the demand
fcr them was much restricted.

There was a moderate sale for malt at late rates, The
quantity on offer was trifling.
Oats advanced 6d to is per quarter, and the demand for
all kinds was steady.

Beans and peas fully maintained their value, owing to
the limited supply on offer.

The flour trade was steady, but the large quantity of
American on offer checked prices.
