CORN-EXCeIANGE—Since our last report the arrivals of English wheat, ooastwise and by land carriage, have been on a very moderate scale, and in middling eondition. The demand has ruled heavy, and prices have given way from Is to 2s per quarter, without effecting clearances. Foreign wheat—the im ports of which have continued liberal for the time of year—have moved off slowly, and the quotations have had a downward ten dency. Floating cargoes have changed hands slowly, at the late decline. Barley has come steadily to hand. All descriptions have met a dull inquiry, at a further depression of la per quarter. In malt very little business has been transacted, on easier terms. Oats, beans, and peas have sold heavily, at Is per quarter lass money. The flour trade has been much depressed, and sack parcels have ruled the turn in favour of buyers. The arrivals from the United States are good, and reshipments are being made from Francs and Belgium. THE PRESS.
