CORN-EXCHANGE—Very moderate supplies of English
wheat have been on sale in our market this week. All kinds
have ruled somewhat active, at an improvement in the quote-
dons of from 2s to 3s per quarter, and at which good clearances
have been effected. Foreign wheat—the imports of which have
continued small—has changed hands readily, at 2s to 3s per
quarter more money. The whole of the floating cargoes off the
coast have found buyers, on higher terms. The beat making
barley has sold steadily, at fully previous rates ; but inferior
parcels have commanded very little attention. The malt trade
lies continued steady, at full quotations. New oats have realised
former terms; but old qualities Lia.e gone rather lower. There
has been a fair inquiry for beans, at late rates ; but white peas
have given way Ss per quarter. Grey and maple qualities, in-
cluding flour, have continued firm.
