In foreign wheat—the imports of which have been far from extensive—only a limitef. business has been transacted, and some inferior parcels have changed hands on rather easier terms. There has been a fair demand for floating cargoes of grain off Falmouth. The barley trade has continued fiat, but we have no change to notice in prices. Malt has woved off slowly, on former terms. Good sound oats have commanded full quotations ; but damp parcels have given way lid por quarter. Beans and peas, including flour, have sold at full Firices; indeed, in some instances, the former article has further advanced Is per quarter. The top price of town made flour is still 70s per 2801bs. ENGLISH—Wheat, Essex and Kent white, 76s to 881; red, 69. to 795; Norfolk and Lincoln red,69s to 775.
