MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

oat of the provincial markets held on Saturday were
but moderately supplied with wheat, in which only a
limited business was doing. The barley trade ruled dull,
on eormer terms. All other articles moved off slowly.
The supplies of grain on offer in the continental ports
hauls rather increased. For spring shipments a full aver-
age business has been passing, on former terms. The
Amorican advices bring steady prices.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English
grain were ♦ery moderate. The imports from abroad were
only 630 quarters of wheat, 4,650 barley, 11,112 oats, 620
beans, 60 mustard seed, 1,930 sundry seeds, and 161 sacks
of d our.

Fresh up, to-day, the receipts of English wheat, coast-
wiPi and by land carriage, were on a moderate scale, and
in very middling condition—some of the samples being
mu,:la sprouted. The stands were poorly supplied; never-
thetess, millers generally—owing, in a great measure, to
the ,damp state in which the wheat came to hand—showed
no ;inclination to purchase. The demand was, conse-
quei fitly, very inactive, yet, compared with Monday last,
very little change took place in the quotations.
W e were well supplied with most kinds of foreign wheat.
In that grain about an average business was transacted at
last week's currencies.
There were no floating cargoes on cffer off the coast.
The show of barley was only moderate. Malting samples
wens in somewhat improved request, at full prices. In
othe r kinds there was only a slow inquiry, at previous
rates.

Malt was in fair supply, and heavy request, at barely
stat ionary prices.
The show of oats was not large, and most qualities moved
off :slowly, on former terms.
&lane and peas were dull, at barely previous quotations,
although the supplies were not extensive. In some in-
titan ces inferior parcels were is per quarter lower.
Flour sold slowly, but we have no change to notice in
its value, except town-made, which declined 3s per 280 lbs
—the top price being 575.
