MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-010NDAY).
During the past week fair average supplies of Wheat have
- been received up to our Market, principally from Lincolnshire
and Cambridgeshire. Of Foreign and Irish Oats the arrivals
were extensive, and nearly the whole of the former were en-
tered for home consumption, at the prevailing duty. The
fresh supplies of Barley, Malt, Beans, Peas, and Flour were
scanty. Coastwise, as well as by land carriage and samples,
upwards of 2,000 quarters, in addition to the quantity imported
up to Saturday evening, came to hand, chiefly from Essex ;
notwithstanding the stands were much better supplied than
for some time past, and which will be observed, when we
intimate that the total arrivals since this day se'nnight have
rather exceeded 10,000 quarters—the factors, at the opening
of the Market demanded ridiculouslyihigh rates, many of
them asking as much as 78s. per quarter for White
qualities. This, as might well be imagined, had the
effect of causing the buyers to hold off ; hence the
sale for the article was by no means so animated as it
otherwise might have been. Ilowever, notwithstanding the
demand was not to say brisk ; the holders succeeded in obe
taining an advance in the currencies paid on Monday last
of Is, and in some instances 2s per quarter, and at which the
principal portion of the supply was disposed of. The show
of tine foreign Wheat was not large. For, the best parcels
of both red and white the inquiry was somewhat active, at a
rise of 2s. per quarter, and other qualities sold at Is. per
quarter more money. Bonded samples were in active de-
mand at an improvement in valuet,ffrom 2s. to 3s. per quarter,
and at which upwards of 10,000 quarters were disposed oh
The accounts received from various parts of the kingdom,
respecting the growing crops, were of a very conflicting cha-
racter, yet we have every reason to believe the wheats have
stitaieed but little damage. Grinding Barley Is as in fair
r,,ttiet, at full price,, but malting and other parcels hung
heavily on hand. The supply of Malt was limited, yet the
demand for it was inactive, at late rates. Owing to the
large supplies of both Irish and Foreign, the Oat trade was
dull, and prices were with difficulty supported. Beans were
very dull, and the turn lower. We had a parcel of new Peas
on offer. Flour was active, at further improved quotations.
New Canary-seed sold at from 48s to 50s per quarter ,and new
Rapeseed 281 to 301 per last.
