THE CORN TRADE.

Nsvor Leal, Friday.—Most of the markets held this
week have been scantily supplied with home-grown
wheat. For good sad fine samples the demand has
slightly improved ; but we have no change to notice in
the quotations. Low and damp qualities have moved
off heavily, on former terms. The imports of foreign
wheat having been on a moderate scale, holders have
been inner in their demands, and prices have been
vrell supported. English flour has ruled about stationary ;
but hired sales of American parade have been made
en retiree easier terms. No quotable change has
taken plans in the value of malt. The trade, however,
may be emensidered somewhat healthy. Good mound rate
has • sold at full currencies. Inferior qualities have
semifluid heavy. Beth beans and pews have sommanded
little attention, at the late decline In value. Out-
door film' labours have suffered a check from the
immense quantities of rain which have fallen in various
parts of Wand. Our advice., in referent* to the
general appearance of the wheat plants, are, however,
favourable.
The wheat trade in most of the French markets still
continues heavy, at the late decline in the quotations.
Spring corn and Soar have changed hands slowly, at
barely previous rates. In America, wheat, flour, and
Indiawoorn have sold in small parcels only, owing to a
falling off in the export demand.
In Scotland, line wheats, from their scarcity, have
commanded previous rates; but other kinds have been
quite neglected. Barley and oats have realised former
terms. Beans, pees, and foreign flour have ruled in
favour of buyers, with a heavy demand.
The Irish markets have continued heavy for nearly
all kinds et produce; nevertheless, scarcely any change
has taken pleas in the quotations. The shipments to
England have been on a very moderate scale.
FLUDAT NIGHT. —The show of samples ef English
wheat at' Marklane, to-day, was very small; never-
theless, all qualities met a dull inquiry, yet prices were
unaltered from Menday. There was • full average
supply of foreign wheat on the stands, and the demand
For all descriptions ruled very inactive, on former terms.
Malting barley sold steadily, at full currencies; but
grinding and distilling sorts were much neglected. Oats,
beans, and peas moved off slowly„at about previons rates.
The flour trade was dull. In prices, however, no
quotable change took plum. The extreme value of
American brands was 29,. per barrel. This week's
imperil amount to 17,010 quarters of wheat; 12,950
barley; 11,290 oat.; 720 sacks and 37,491 barrels of
flour.

At Liverpool, this morning, owing to • large influx of
produce from America, a further decline of 64. per
barrel took place in flow. Wheat and maize, however,
were kt steady request, at full prices.
WAKIMIZLD COHN MAREST, Friday. —The large im-
ports into Liverpool curtail the demand here, and
to-dayi with • limited business passing, prices are
rather lower. Barley rather firm, at full prices.
