MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
The supply of English Wheat being very limited, the de-
mand for that article was somewhat active, at fully the im-
provement noticed in the quotations on Monday last. Free
Foreign Wheat was held for advanced currencies, but bonded
parcels were much neglected. Grinding Barley was quite as
dear, but all other kinds Ilere a slow inquiry. Oats, Beans,
Peas, and Flour ruled about stationary.
