large arrivals of foreign, the demand was quiet, at. rediietion
of 6,1 to Is per qr. Rather mo, tone in malting barley ; in
grinding • better trade, at a decline of 411 to le per qr. Indian
corn heavy, and fit per qr cheaper. Oats tMI lower, with
scarcely any iniuiry whatever.

sorts might hare been obtained at a decline of per sack.
In oats or beans there was no change. American maize re-
