CORN EXCHANGE.

The demand for wheat in most of the country markets
held on Saturday was inactive, and prices ruled in favour
of buyers. There was less activity in the sale for barley,
at barely late rates. All other articles were very drill.
The continental markets have been heavy for all descriP•
tions of produce, except fine barley. In the United States
the transactions on English account have been limited.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last
week, were limited. From abroad we received 3,609
quarters of wheat, 16,921 barley, 21,841 oats, 155 beans,
125 peas, 735 tares, 210 linseed, 2,500 rapseed, 40 mustard
seed, and 335 sacks of flour. ,

Fresh up to-day, the arrivals of English wheat were
very moderate, and the show of samples of both red and
white was consequently small. There were rather more
buyers in attendance, yet the demand for all kinds of
wheat of home produce was in a sluggish state, at prices
about equal to those realised on this day sen'night: Bone
kinds of wheat were is to 2s per quarter lower.
We were well supplied with most descriptions of foreign
wheat, which moved off slowly. In the quotations, how-
ever, no change took place.

. -
Floating carpal% of grain were in fair request, and prime
were supported. Very little English barley
market, and the supply of foreign was by no means extol'
sive. Fine dry samples sold at full prices, but inferior
kinds were dull, and 2s per qr cheaper. was in the.
We had a heavy inquiry for malt, and late rates were
barely supported.

Oats were in good supply and heavy request, at bard/
last week's decline in value. In some instances the rate
gave way 6d to is per qr. •
The sale for beans ruled heavy, at barely late rates to 16
decline.

In peas very little was doing, at is to 2s per qrless inonef.
Flour was inactive, but no change took place in its Yalu°
