LONDON CORN MARKET.—(From Kingsford and Lay's
Circular.)—The supply of Wheat from Essex and Kent is
considerable, and in order to effect sales, a reduction of 3s. to
4s. per qr. was necessary, at which the whole was not cleared,
owing to its very inferior condition. The demand for Foreign
Wheat is limited, and holders being unwilling to submit to
any abatement, scarcely any business was transacted. Barley
very dull, at an advance of 2s. Beans and Peas, ls. to 2s.
cheaper. Oat trade dull. New Corn, 6d. to ls. cheaper. The
top price of Town-made Flour is reduced 2s. per sack ; and
Country Marks can only be sold at a similar decline.
