MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY.)

CORN EXCIIAZTGM.

In consequence of the strong adverse bales the arrivals
of English, and, indeed all other grain, up to our mar•
ket this week, have been very small. The show of
Wheat of home produce was small, yet the demand for
that article was in a sluggish state, at Monday's quota-
tions. For the best fine foreign Whb at the inquiry was
somewhat active. In other parcels next to nothing was
doing. So little Barley and Malt were offering that the
rates were nominally unaltered. Oats, Beans, and Peas
were held at very high prices.

chase East India Molasses, but at low rates. Prices are

dad 43s to 44s for mid red, and 42s per cwt for grey. Fine

of by private treaty were at stiffer rates ; the stock is
small on.e.
