THE CORN TRADE.

Maio OMITS, Friday Evening.—Very limited supplies
of home-grown wheat have been on offer in the various
markets; nevertheless, the demand for both red and
white /temples, especially those oat of condition, has
continued. m a elaggiah ebb, at Lhout last week's
currency. Eine foreign wheats have realised former
terms, witei
_mederete inquiry; but inferior samples
have comi.ar4ed very little attention. The flour trios)
has been dcpressed, owing to the recent heavy imports
from Amentsa, In the currencies, however, no quotable
change *Atte place. Fine malting barley has main-
tained iteslious value; but grinding and distilling
sorts haisomewhat in favour of buyers. There
has bum, kfair, but by no means active, inquiry for
malt, it /nll quotations. Good sound oats have sold
steadily-4:101er kinds slowly, at late rates. Both beans
and pose have commanded very little attention, at the
late decline la value.
Considershi inactivity has prevailed in the grain
trade in VIA.IIOO and in the various ports up the Baltic.
Priem, alommt senerally, have ruled easier. In America,
wheat, Indian corn, and flour, were rather drooping at
the date qf oar lest advices, with only a limited inquiry
for shipment to Europe.
The &etch markets have been scantily supplied with
wheat, chiefly in poor condition. The demand, how-
ever, hae ruled heavy, and the quotations have been
with difficulty supported. In spring oorn, the transac-
tions haviacoatinued restricted, yet tine barley and oats
have commanded quite previous rates.
In Ire'liitb. wheat trade has been in a most inac-
tive ntste,becsl stationary prima, and the transactions
in barlevcieen, rind maize, have been trifling.
The Liverpool market, this morning, was firmer, and
both wheat and flour realised enhanoed prices. Other
articles make supported former terms.
FRID•4 RlOHT.—Owing to the continuance of
unfavourabk weather, the wheat trade at Mark lane,
to-day, wile cluidedly firmer, and all dry parcels moved
off some mbali freely, at the full prices of Monday. For
foreign wheat,—the show of which was moderately good,
—the demand ruled steady, and the quotations were
well 'Deported. Malting barley was very scarce, and
realised extreme rates. Grinding and distilling sorts,
however,- were • slow sale, on former terms. Oats,
beans, and peas were more inquired for, snd the
currensief Haled firm. Amercian flour was in improved
request, a an advance of 6d to Is. ler barrel, and the
value of other descriptions was well maintained. This
week's idtpdreis stuonnt to 4,108 quarters of wheat,
8,860 barley, 9,890 oats, 240 sacks and 5,450 barrels of
flour.
