THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)
CORN EXCHANGE.
We had a very limited show of English Wheat on
sale in to-day's market, yet we have to report an ex-
tremely heavy inquiry for it, and Monday's depression
of Is. to 2s. per quarter was with difficulty supported.
Very little Foreign Wheat has come to hand this week.
So inanimate was the demand, that the prices were almost
nominal. Barley and Malt moved off heavily at late
rates. Oats were in moderate supply, and sluggish sale,
and the same may be said of other articles. Arrivals.—
English Wheat, 1,940 ' • Barley, 6,920 ; Oats, 1,090 ;
Malt, 24,000 quarters ; Flour, 3,480 sacks. Irish Oats,
2,780 quarters. Foreign Wheat, 2,000 quarters.
