CORN-EXCHANGE- WEDNESDAY The supply of English Wheat on offer being on the increase the demand for it war extremely dull, and prices were with difficulty supported. At the close of the market a clearance was not effected. In free Foreign Wheat so little was doing that the quotations were almost nominal. Grain under lock was a mere drug. The finest malting Barley moved off at late rates, but grinding and distilling sorts might have been purchased on somewhat easier terms. The Malt trade was in a very inactive state, yet we can notice no altera tion in value. We have to notice a E teady, , though not to say brisk, inquiry for Oats, at very full prices. Beans and Peas were quite as dear, but Flour hung heavily on hand. ARRIVALS. English • . Irish Foreign Wheat. I Barley. Oats Flour. 8,060 qrs.

The rate of 4d. is now allowed monthly Deprecating the system of Making ;profits from one charitable institution for the pur pose of providing funds in aid of another, the board de sire that the loan funds should be worked with the sole ob ject of supplying small loans to the industrious poor on the lowest possible terms. The board, in the peculiar state of the country, caused by the extensive failure of the potato crop, issued a circular in February last, recommending to the various committees great caution in the issue of loans. " The board apprehend," the circular stated, " that in certain districts a pressure may be felt during the ensuing season, which may render it difficult for borrowers to meet engagements previously made with . the managers of loan fund societies. The board also consider it desirable to direct the attention of the managers to the importance of retaining at all times a sufficient reserve fund which will place beyond all risk the security of the funds entrusted to their care by the depositors, and which will enable them, whenever a course may be considered desirable, to dissolve their society without loss 'being sustained by any of the parties who may have been connected with it." The board wish it to be known that they have no control over a number of societies connected with the " Irish Reproductive Society." after paying all expenses, and keeping a sum in hand for contingencies, the board had purchased 2,0001. of Government stock. An account is given of the moms de piete. They are situate in Belfast, Porta down, Tandragee, Newcastle, and Lismore.
