CORN EXCHANGE.

The country markets held on Saturday were, for the
most part, but moderately supplieti with wheat, in which
about an average business was transacted. Prices were
supported without difficulty. Barley sold briskly, and
fine parcels were rather dearer. In other articles, scarcely
any change took place

The continental markets come steady for wheat, but the
business doing in that article is very moderate. From the
United States our advices are firm.

Very limited supplies of English grain were received up
to our market last week. From abroad, tho imports were
14,294 quarters of wheat, 3,971 barley, 7,851 oats, 1,400
rye, 47 beans, 390 peas, 1,020 tares, 640 linseed, 3,770
rapeseed, 1,078, sacks, and 2,828 barrels of flour.
The supply of English wheat received fresh up to our
market this morning, coastwise and by land carriage, was
very moderate, consequently the stands were rather
scantily filled with samples. Some portion of the supply
came to hand in good condition, but the bulk of it was in-
ferior. The attendance of millers was by no means nume-
rous, yet most of the show of home-grown wheat was
cleared off, at prices about equal to those realised on Mon-
day last.

Fine foreign wheats were rather more inquired for on
former terms, but the business passing in them was com-
paratively small. Low and damp parcels met a dull in.
quiry, on former terms.

Floating cargoes of grain were dull, but not cheaper.
We bad an active demand for malting barley, at a far.
ther improvement in value of is. per quarter. Grinding
and distilling sorts sold on former terms.
The malt trade was rather active, at fully last week's
quotations. _

The show of oats was very moderate. Good sound
corn moved off steadily, at fully last Monday's quotations.
Other descriptions were less active. . .

Beans were in moderate supply, and fair request, at

late rates.

We had rather a slow sale for peas ; prices, however,
were supported.

Flour changed hands to a moderate extent, on former
terms.
