CORN EXCHANGE,

The leading country markets, held on Saturday, were
scantily supplied with wheat, the demand for which ruled
somewhat active, at an advance of Is to 2s per qr. Spring
corn, as well as flour, was disposed of at very full prices.
The southern markets in France have become heavy for
wheat, owing to large arrivals; but those in the northern
departments exhibit more firmness. In the United States
both wheat and flour are very firm in price.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were limited. From abroad we received 17,132 quarters of
wheat, 1,919 barley, 19,862 oats, 2,605 beans, 6 peas, 27
tares, 3,164 linseed, 2,830 raepseed, ;498 sundry, 4 sacks and
2,761 barrels of flour.

Fresh up to this morning's market, the arrivals of Eng•
lish wheat from all quarters were very moderate. The
general condition of the samples, however, was fine.
Although sales, generally speaking, progressed somewhat
slowly, a clearance was effected, and, compared with Mon-
day last, a further advance of from is. to 2s. per quarter
took place in the quotations.

The market for foreign wheat was firm, and the quota-
tions were quite ls. above those current this day se'nnight.
The show of samples was by no means extensive.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, and prices
had an upward tendoncy.
There was more firmness in the barley trade, and the
currencies improved is per quarter. The market was very
moderately supplied.

New malt changed hands to a moderate extent, at full
prices ; but old parcels were quite neglected.
Oats—the supply of which was only moderate—moved
off steadily, and prices were well supported.
Beans were very firm, and is to 2s per quarter dearer
The show of samples was limited.
Peas realised is to 2s per quarter more money, and the
small supply on offer was readily disposed of.
In flour a fair business was doing at fully the late ad-
vance in the quotations.
