THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

To-day's market was well, supplied with several samples
of English wheat left ON er from Wednesday; but the arri-
vals fresh up were limited. The attendance of millers was
small, and the demand for all kinds of wheat of home pro-
duce was heavy, at, in some instances, a slight decline in
value compared with last week.

Over 11,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come to hand.
Even the finest parcels were very dull, and so little was
passing in any kind that prices were almost nominal.
Floating cargoes of grain were very dull.
Although the show of barley was only moderate, the
transactions were limited, on former terms.
Malt was very dull, but not cheaper.
Oats supported previous rates ; but beans and peas were
very dull

Flour changed hands slowly, at Monday's currency.
