THE CORN TRADE.

LoirDox, Friday.—A moderate supply of home-grown
wheat was on sale here to-day, and the trade ruled firm
both for red and white qualities. Selected parcels were
held at Is. per quarter more money than on Monday
last, and inferior produce commanded extreme rates.
There was a fair average show of sample. of foreign
wheat on the stands. Holders of all descriptions were
very firm in their demands, and an advance of la. per
quarter, was, in several instances, realised. Floating
cargoes of grain ruled firm. and the quotations had an
upward tendency. The supply of barley was tolerably
large. Good and fins malting qualities moved off
steadily. at fully prices; otherwise, the barley trade
was dull, at full the late decline in prices. Malt was
its fair average request, at full quotations. The supply
of oats one sale was small. Roth for English and
foreign qualities the trade ruled firm, at an advance
of fid. per qr. from Monday last. Beans and pess met
a steady sale, and Monday's currency wee supported.

upward tendency. Arrivals this week : Wheat, English,
