MARKET NEWS.-(YESTERDAY'

CORN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of English Wheat up to our market alit'
°
ing the past week have been moderately good ; 1111°
those of Barley and Oats, collectively, were very exte''

sive. Fresh up, the receipts of Wheat of home produ _
coastwise, as well as by land carriage and sample'we!:
by no means large, yet the stands were well
Owing, however, to the Queen's visit to the City, fornd,
t u°
purpose of opening the new Royal Exchange, the littlatterl_
:Ince of both factors and dealers was small, and so
business was transacted in consequence that last wee
prices were nominally unaltered. The same cause will°
influenced the trade with English Wheat operated oP
that with Foreign, the rates of which were stationaq:
There was a large quantity of Barley on sale. Thole;
transactions reported were at full currencies, althoog..
much caution was manifested by the dealers, arising from
the present extreme value of the article. Malt, ti
supply of which was by no means large, moved off slowl,
at late rates. The quantity of Oats offering was,l„arterit,
but we have to report very few sales in that desolyin-ur
of grain, at previous figures. Beans, Peas, and
were a, mere drug, at late rates.
