CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
fairly supplied with wheat, in which a steady business
was doing, at very full to a slight advance in prices. Bar;
ley, however, moved off heavily, and the quotations had t
downward tendency. In other kinds of produce very littlo
was doing.

The near continental markets continue heavy tor wheat,
as well as spring corn. In the United States the export
trade continues inactive.

The arrivals of English grain in the port of London lass
week were only moderate. From abroad we received
11,599 quarters of wheat, 5,407 barley, 42,121 oats, 434
beans, 2,175 peas, 3,000 linseed, 827 rapeseed, 142 mustard
seed, 1,289 sundry seeds, 153 sacks and 2,311 barrels of
flour.

The quantity of wheat received fresh 'up to our market
coastwise from Essex and Kent was only moderate. 13y
land carriage the receipts were small, consequently the
show of samples was limited, The bulk of the supply
came to hand in fair condition, considering the damp state
of the atmosphere. Although the attendance of both town
and country millers was by no means numerous, there was
a slight improvement in the demand compared with Mon.
day last, and that day's pr ices were supported.
There was rather a large supply of foreign wheat on
offer. Fine heavy parcels sold to a moderate extent at full
prices. Inferior qualities meta dull inquiry, on former
terms. Floating cargoes of grain off the coast were held at
full quotations. We wore well supplied with both English
and foreign barley. The trade ruled heavy in theextremo,
and some qualities were almost unsaleable. Prices were
nominally 2s per qr lower than last week,

There was ♦ery little inquiry for malt, at barely eta,
tionary prides.

The show of oat samples was very extensive. Good
sound qualities were held at full prices, bat dsmp corn
sold slowly at a decline in ♦alue of fully 6d per quarter.
Beans wero in short supply and moderate request, on
former terms.

Owing to a large arrival from abroad peas sold heavily,
at le to 25 per quarter less money.
Flour was in moderato request, at last week's currency,
