REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADL
Mooday.—The arrivals of home-
grown wheat op to our market ban been on a
moderate lade. Notwithstanding that the show of
samples has been far from extensive, the demand
for both red and white qualities has ruled very
inactive, and the quatrains' have been with difficulty
supported. In foreign wheat—the imports of which
have been trifling—the tranactions have been on a
limited scale, at about stationary prime. The barley
trade has been in a sluggish state ; but no quotable
change las taken place in the currencies. All kinds
of malt have been freely offered at late rates. The
supply has continued seasonably extensive. Good
sound oats have moved off steadily—ocher kind.

been in short supply, and steady tequila, at ex-
treme quotations.. No change has taken plan in the
value of either English or foreign lour. The crops
are making rapid progress towards maturity. Our

has ruled heavy, at about previous rates.
