LONDON CORN MARKET.

•JA7 4911101 AL NXPREBB.

MARE LANE, MONDAY, MARCH 31.
The meant depression in the corn trade has hd
the effect of reducing in price almost every descrip-
tion of grain, prime barley alone excepted, which
goes off easily at 34a., 3bs., and 368. per qr. Trade
generally is therefore inactive, and must con-
tinue to be so, so long as the samples
sent to market are in such a wet state.
Foreign grain in good condition maintains late
quotations. Dental° wheat is done at 668.-7 s.
Prioes : Wheat, 58s. to 635. per qr. ; Barley, 30s. to
; Osta, 20s. to 245.; Flour, 48s. to Ms. the

THE CORN TRADE.
ILutx LASE, Friday.—Notwithstanding that only
Ezdited supplies of English wheat have been en offer in
nearly the whole of the leading market, held this week,
the demand for both red and white qualities has ruled
heavy, and prioes have given way fully is. per quarter.
In foreign wheat—which has come forward freely—very
little has been pauing, and the currencies have had a
drooping tendency: The best samples of barley have
realised previous rate.; but grinding and distilling sorts
have sontinned to favour buyers. No quotable change
has taken place in the value of malt; but the sale for
It has been mach restrinted. For good and due oats,
the inquiry has ruled steady; but low and damp parcels
• have commanded very little attention. Full average
supplies have been on offer. Both beans and peas have
• sold on rather easier terms. The Hour trade has been

FRIDAY Nlairr.—.A I Mark Lane, to-day, them were
„. very few samples of fresh Beglish wheat on offer;
neveitheleas, owing to their bad auditions, all qualities
were mach negieeted, and the currencies ruled next to
aorairiaL In foreign wheat, however, sales progressed
awaevekat freely, at the late quotations. Malting
barley- fairly supported previous raise, but grinding
and distilling serfs were a slow sale, on former terms.
. Oaks, beans, and peas moved off heavily, yet no further
change took place in their value compared with Mon-
day. For barrel tour there was rather more demand,
• at the late seduction in prime, but ether kinds were a
