THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Only 940 quarters of English wheat have come to hand,
coastwi:,e, this week. Fresh up to-day, by land-carriage,
the receipts were limited, and the show of samples was small.
The demand for all kinds was by no means so active as on
Monday ; nevertheless, that day's prices were supported.
Importers of foreign wheat were very firm in their de-
mands, but the amount of business doing in that article
was limited, on former terms.
Barley met a slow sale, at the late decline in value.
Liberal supplies continue to reach us from the continent.
We had a limited sale for malt, at previous quotations.
There was a fair consumptive demand for oats, at very
full prices.
Beans, peas, and flour were in fair request, at full cur-
rencies.
