'lc Mo:her, than to direct the isaning of the Commission
to set the matter at rest. It was

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY).

CORN-EXCHANGE.

The supply of most kinds of Grain last week were con-
siderable, and there was an abundant quantity of Flour.
There is little fine Wheat at market to-day, and such sells
slowly, but plenty of other kinds, which may be reported
21. per quarter lower. Barley, being in demand, sells at
an advance of Is. per quarter on most qualities. Malt s
excessively (lull in sale. Beans maintain the terms of last
week, with a slow sale. Boiling Pease are unaltered, but
Grey Pease are it. per quarter cheaper. Oats find a few
buyers at the prices of last week for a good quality, but
other sorts are rather lower. The Flour trade is very
heavy, as the stock is increasing.
