MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
The country markets held on Saturday were faiel,
supplied with English wheat, the demand for wh(c,,,"
was in a sluggish state, at drooping prices. In spring
corn and flour very little business was transacted, but
no material charge was noticed in value. From tne
near continental ports we learn that very large quantities
of Flour have continued to change hands on Engliall'
Irish and Scotch account. We have later advices from
New York, which represent the demand there as heavy'
Somewhat increased supplies of English grain were re:
ceircd up to our market last week. From abroad'
8,764 quarters of Wheat. 5,140 ditto of Barley,
14,279 ditto of Oat-, 1,557 ditto of Beans, 290
ditto of Peas, 439 ditto of Tares, 230 ditto of
Linseed, 10 ditto of Mustard seed, 123 ditto
of sundry seeds, and 3,631 sacks of Flour came to hand.
Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Wheal
from Essex and Kent, coastwise, were very moderate
From Lincolnshire, &c., scarcely any samples came to
hand. The receipts by land carriage were trifling. The
general quality of the parcels on show being good
the attendance of buyers on the increase, the demand
for all kinds cf English Wheat was steady, at prices,
quite equal to those obtained on Monday last, and a'
which a good clearance was eff. cted. Several offers'
came to band to ship Wheats from the East coast 65
present currencies. About 1.800 quarters were taken.
by the London millers. The supply of fresh foreign
Wheat was somewhat en the incr(air, and Iv'
had a good show of granaried samples. Fi,n,e,
parcels commanded a steady inquiry, at Nay
last week's quotations. In the middling and inferior
kinds only a moderate amount of business was doing
yet late rates were mostly supported. The supply, of
Eugliih Barley was tolerably large—that of Forete
on the increase. Good sound parcels sold at 104
rates of currency. Otherwise, the Barley trade was is
a sluggish state, but no decline was submitted to it',
value. With Maltf we were again well supplied. All
kinds were a slow sale, at last week's currencies. The
quantity ready for delivery was extensive. The
total supply of Oats exceeded 20,000 quartet;
Including the late imports from abroad. Ws
kinds moved off slowly, at unaltered quotations.
In Beans, the supply of which was not to say extensive'
comparativ. ly little was doing, at lest wet k's prices'
The demand for Pease was restricted to retail prices, at
late rates. Indian Corn and Meal were offering on lower
terms. The transactions in Flour were on the increase,
at our quotations.
