WILTSUIII& -At our principal markets the supplies
of corn have been very rate. At Devises very
high prices were asked for sheaf, and millers and
dealers being disinclined to concede • large advance,
business was slow for some time. Ultimately • fair
businese was done at 2.. to 3e. the qr. more money than
last week. The best old wheats were, therefore, quoted
ggc. to 60a; 04t. were asked for a splendid lot of new,
but more general figure' were 504, to 56a At War-
minster to-day the wheat trade was heavy, althongb the
supply was only moderate. Prices, however. advanced
2s. to 34. the qr., the quotations for old being 56e. to
60a, and for new 49e. to 511 s. There is a kind of piaci.,
in the barley trade just now. There was every prospect
of an abundant and excellent crop, but • large propor-
tion has now been apoiled for malting purpoess, and
grirding sorts will this year again be • drag in the
markat At Devises there was • ready sale for the
whole of the supply, the quotations being, for best 40..
to 43a. and for secondary 36e. upwards. At War-
