CORN EXCHANGE.

There was an improved demand for wheat in most of
the country markets held on Saturday, and prices gene-
rally were well supported. Barley was less active, but all
other articles were firm in price.

Most of the continental markets have been devoid of
animation. Lower prices for both wheat and flour con-
tinue to reach us from the United States.

Up to our market last week the arrivals of English
wheat were good. From abroad were received 10,050 qrs
wheat, 13,997 barley, 39,892 oats, 2,139 beans, 150 peas,
11,128 linseed, 6,245 rapeseed, 40 mustard•seed, 20 seeds,
309 sacks and 154 brls flour.

The a rivals of wheat fresh up, to-day, from Essex and
Kent, coastwise, were very moderate, but in fair average
coalition. The general weight of the samples was good.
By land carriage the receipts were far from extensive, and
the show of samples exhibited a falling off compared with
the two previous weeks. The attendance of buyers was
tolerably good, and the demand ruled somewhat firm, at
an advance in the quotations realised on Monday last of
2s to 3s per quarter. _

There was a good show of foreign wheat, especially of
low Russian qualities. Fine dry samples were in improved
request, and the turn against buyers. Inferior qualities,
however, sold slowly, on formor terms.
Floating cargoes of grain were held at full prices.
Fine barley was scarce, and in request at very full cur-
rencies. Low qualities moved off slowly, at late rates.
The malt trade was dull, and prices were barely sup-

ported.
The supply of foreign oats was large—of English very
limited. The oat trade may be called firm, at full quota.

tions,

There was a fair inquiry for beans, the show of which
was moderate, at late rates.
The sale for peas was steady, at full quotations.
We bad a better inquiry for flour, at fully late rates.
Norfolk qualities were held at 40a to 419 per 280 lbs.
