CORN-EXCHANGE The supply of English Shoat on sale this week has been very limited ; nevertheless, the demand for all kinds has ruled inactive, at a decline in the quotations of from 2a to 35 per quarter. In foreign wheat — the imports of which have been but moderate—very few trans actions have taken place, at 29 to 35 per quarter less money. There has been very little doing in floating cargoes. The receipts of barley have fallen off, and the inquiry for that grain has been less active, at barely previous rates. In malt, oats, beans, and peas, the sales have been very restricted. The flour trade has been steady. and from 6,000 to 7,000 barrels of American have changed hands at extreme rates.
