I APRIL 14, 1855. Vetrogolitan ratites. (Reported exclusively for "Ms Passe.") CORN-EXCHANGE—A very moderate supply of English Wheat has been received up to our market this week, coastwise and by laud carriage. The demand, however, has been rather inactive, at unaltered quotations. Foreign wheat—the imports of which have been very limited—has changed hands slowly, on former terms. Floating cargoes have been held at full curren cies. The barley trade has continued flat; yet there have been no sellers on lower terms. In the value of malt we have no change to notice. The oat trade, owing to the increased sup plies on the market, has ruled heavy, at a decline of from 8d to Is per quarter. Beaus have sold slowly, at barely late rates. White peas have given way Is to 2s per quarter; but grey and maple qualities have realised former terms. The sale for flour has continued dull; and there has been an increase in the im portations from the Continent anti the United States. ENGLISH—Wheat.
