CORN EXCHANGE-SATURDAY.

The intelligence which reached us this morning relative to the
measures upon the Corn question, as submitted to the House by
Mr. Canning, had the effect of making holders of free wheat de-
mand an advance of fully 6d. per bushel on the prices of Tuesday last.
The business done, however, was very limited, and as no decided
law has yet been founded on the proposed measure, the market is
likely to remain quiet until the question be completely set at rest
by the alteration, adoption, or rejection of those measures.
