_ CORN EXCHANGE.
There was a steady demand for good and useful wheats
in the leading country markets held, on Saturday, and
prices were slightly on the advance. The barley trade ruled
firm at extreme rates; and most other kinds of produce
were selling at full quotations.
The new continental markets have been moderately MP'
plied with wheat, which has sold slowly, at barely station-
ary prices. The Mediterranean markets continue high'
From America, we have advices to the effect that produce
generally was in fair request.
Up to our market, last week, the arrivals cf English
grain were very moderate. From abroad we received
5,595 quarters of wheat, 2,580 barley, 8,472 oats, 8,181
beans, 535 tares, 1,720 linseed, 145 rapeseed, 15 sundll
seeds, 50 sacks and 11,290 barrels of flour.
The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to tills
morning's market, coastwise and by land carriage, was
very limited, but there was a slight improvement in 116,
general condition of the supply. The attendance c°
millers was not very numerous, yet the demand for all
kinds of wheat of home produce ruled steady, at Prices
fully equal to those realized on Monday last.
With foreign wheat we were well supplied. Good &
nd
fine pat eels sold to a moderate extent at full quotations.
Other descriptions were rather dull, at late rates.
There was a fair inquiry for floating cargoes of grain'
although the arrivals off the coast have been rather 1111.

The show of both English and foreign barley was trifliego
and the trade ruled firm, at extreme quotations to is Per

Fine malt was in improved request, at full priceo:
Secondary kinds supported former terms. Oats, the al
of which was moderate, moved off freely, at laseMend&Y
quotations.
There was less activity in the demand for beans. For
