CORN EXCHANGE.

The demand for new wheat in most of the country mar-
kets held on Saturday was in a sluggish state, and, in seve-
ral instances, prices were lower, say about 2s per quarter,
than in the previous week. Old qualities were veL y dull.
Most kinds of spring corn were a heavy sale, at drooping
currencies. The flour trade was extremely inactive, on
easier terms.

Throughout the Continent the wheat trade has ruled
firm, at very full prices, but in spring corn, for export,
very little has been done. In America the value of produce
has further advanced.

Last week's arrivals of English grain up to our mark&
were very moderate. From abroad we received 25,281
quarters of wheat, 1,183 barley, 35,172 oats, 3,390 beans
2,329 peas, 110 tares, 8,200 linseed, 5,065 oilseeds, '6O sundry
seeds, 560 sacks, and 21,318 barrels of flour.
Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of nev
English wheat were small. The demand, however, fa-
both red and white qualities ruled somewhat inactiv(;
nevertheless the prices realised—in consequence of a di-
mand on French account—were equal to those obtained (n
Monday last—the top quotation for white samples being
62s per quarter. The quality of the new wheats continua
very fine. There was very little old wheat on offer, yet tle
trade for it was very heavy, and prices were nominal.
We were moderately supplied with foreign wheat. la
most descriptions sales progressed slowly, yet no chance
took place in prices, compared with this day se'nnight.
In floating cargoes of grain only a moderate business
was transacted at late rates.

. Barley was a dull sale. The quotations, however, mid
stationary. A sample of fine new malting sold at 40s pfr
quarter.

For all kinds of malt there was little demand, at last
week's currency.

Good and fine oats were in steady request, and pries
were well supported. Inferior parcels changed hauls
slowly, but at previous rates.

Very few beans were on offer, yet the demand for theca
ruled inactive, at barely late quotations.
Peas were dull, at the late decline in their value.
In flour a limited business was passing. Prices, however,
were about supported. Best town-made, 51s per 280 lbs,

SEEDS.

The supply of new seeds continues small, and the de-
mand for them rules steady, at full prices. Old qualities,
owing to their inferior condition, remain unsaleable. In
cakes a fair business is doing at our quotations.
