MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY
We had a fair average supply of English Wheat on offer.
The best qualities moved off at Monday's quotations, but
most otherkindsmight have been purchased on lower terms.
The show of free Foreign Wheat was not extensive, yet the
inquiry for it was heavy, at almost nominal figures. Barley
and Malt were in slow inquiry, and the turn cheaper. Oats,
Beans, and Peas without alteration.
