THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, Dec. 17.
We had a large arrival of Wheat, and an immente supply of Flour
coastways, which caused a great heaviness in the mealing trade this
loaning, still fine dry samples of Wheat supported the prices of
this day week ; but there was no demand for the other descriptions.
Malting Barley being in large supply, was is. per qr. lower, and but
little done at that reduction. Beans and Peas of both kinds were
very din/ sale, and a trifle cheaper, there being a large quantity of
lath articles at market. Oats were extremely heavy, still fine Eng-
lish Corn supports It price ; but Irish Oats, front being kilo-dryed
and partly heated, cannot find consunters. In other aratikes there is
no alteration.
