CORN EXCHANGE.

The demand for wheat in most of the country markets
held on Saturday was far from active ; nevertheless, very
little change took place in prices. Fine barley, oats, and
flour were firm; but other produo commanded very little
attention.
Throughout the Continent a fair average business has
been passing in wheat, and all spring corn has commanded
very full prices. In the United States both wheat and
flour have ruled about stationary.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of English pro-
duce trifling. The imports from abroad were 9,610 quar-
ters of wheat, 9,280 barley, 12,494 oats, 1,991 beans, 2,815
tares, 2,409 linseed, 2,600 rapeseed, 70 sundry, and 280
sacks of flour. _ . .

The arrivals of wheat, both front Essex and Kent, to
this morning's market were very moderate, and the gen-
eral quality of the samples was decidedly inferior. Really
fine dry qualities changed hands without difficulty at the
full prices of this day se'nnight; otherwise, the trade
ruled dull, but without leading to any quotable alteration
in the quotations current on Monday last.
The show of foreign wheat was rather extensive. On
the whole, a fair business was transacted, but, for the
most part, in good and fine qualities, and last week's
currency was well maintained.
There was less doing in floating cargoes. Prices, how-
•ver, ruled steady.

For malting barley there was a fair, but far from- active,
inquiry, at full quotations. Other kinds, although in some-
what limited request, were firm in price.
The malt trade was heavy, yet factors refused to accept
lower rates.

Oats changed hands chiefly in retail, owing to the want
of supply at late quotations.

Bein; realised full prices, but the demand for them was
far from active.

Grey peas were scarce, and sold at extreme quotations.
Other descriptions moved off steadily on former terms.
All kinds of flour were held at fully previous rates
Buyers, however, only purchased to meet actual require-
ments.
