Rather large quantities of barley have changed hands, and prices have risen Is per quarter. In malt only a limited business has been doing, on former terms. The oat trade has been firm, at an advance of Is per quarter. Both beans and peas have met a dull inquiry, at a decline of Is per quarter. Flour has continued steady, at full quotations.
