THIS DAY'S MAREETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were
moderately supplied with wheat, and the trade, generally,
ruled slow, but without leading to any quotable change in
prices. The new wheats on offer were mostly of very good
quality. Spring corn was scarce, and realised previous
rates. The flour trade was steady for all good and fine
marks.

On the Continent, produce has changed hands slowly,
on former terms ; but advices from the United States men-
tion an upward movement in the value of both wheat and
flour.

Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English
produce were considerably on the increase. From abroad
we received 49,082 quarters of wheat; 1,000 of barley;
44,184 of oats ; 1,1:50, beans ; 1,633, peas ; 5,029, linseed ;
8,748, oil seed ; 4,530, maize; 30, sundry seeds ; and 43,543
barrels of flour.

The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was
much less extensive than on Monday last, and the general
quality of the samples was only middling. For both red
and white qualities, however, the demand ruled slow;
nevertheless, the prices obtained were about equal to those
realised on this day se'nnight. We did not hear of any
samples of new wheat being on the stands ; but the parcels
which have come to hand since our last report have been of
very good quality, and have weighed about 631bs per
bushel.

The show of foreignwheat was large,and buyers operated
only to meet their immediate requirements. In the quota-
tions no change of importance took place, compared with
last week. Some American, however, was taken for
France at ls. advance.

The business doing in cargoes afloat was less extensive,
but without leading to any quotable alteration in their
value. _ _

•
For barley we have to report a very limited sale, at about
previous currencies. There were a few samples of new on
offer, one of which was in very fine condition, and was
held at 465. per quarter. The others were worth about 425.
per quarter.
The malt trade was dull, yet good and fine qualities sup-
ported previous rates.
Good and fine oats fairly maintained last week's currency,
otherwise the trade was in a sluggish state, at barely sta-
tionary prices. New qualities, grown from Canadian seed,
were on sale, but were held at very high prices, viz , 345. to
365. per quarter.
Beans were a dull inquiry, and the quotations were with
difficulty supported.

New grey peas were on offer, and commanded 425. per
quarter. Old qualities were much neglected at almost nomi-
nal currencies.

Fine marks of flour were steady in price and in fair de-
mand. Inferior qualities, however, were a dull inquiry on
former terms.

little is doing in English wool at late rates.
