STATE OF Tllll CORN TRADE FOR THE
WEEK.
MARK Lai, Friday Evening.-Nearly the whole of
the markets held since we last wrote have been very
moderately supplied with English wheat. Both red and
white qualities have eommanded a steady sale, at fell
quotations, at which good clearances have keen effeetsel.
Fine foreign wheats have realised quite a. much money
as of late, but the business doing in them has been
somewhat restricted. Low and damp qualities have met
• dull inquiry. The prevailing cold weather has led to
an active sale for malting barley, at extreme currencies,
and there has been an improved demand for grinding and
distilling sorts. Good sound Gate have moved off
steadily, -other kinds slowly, on fernier terms. No
quotable change has taken place in the value of either
beans or [leas. The flour trade has continued in • healthy
state.
Advice, from most of the French markets are to the
effect that wheat has continued to *ell heavily at the
late decline in VRllle ; but that barley and all other
kinds of spring corn have sold at extreme currencies. In
America, no change of importance has taken place in
the value of either wheat or flour. The shipments to
Europe, however, continued on • large scale.
The Scotch markets have been hut moderately supplied
with wheat, which has moved off freely at full quota-
tions. There has been • good consumptive demand for
barley and flour at quite previous rates.
In Ireland, the corn trade, generally, has been in •
sluggiah state ; nevertheless, the value of all articles has
ruled firm.
New YORK, Nov. 6.-There has prevailed a steady
demand for State and Western flour both for the local
trade and for export, but under the influence of the less
favourable advice* from Europe, the market has ruled
rather heavy, and prices have declined bete 10e per brl,
the market closing quiet yesterday at the reduction. The
sales coinprise 58,000 lirls, including 21,000 brie yester-
day. Canada neer is • shade lower. Southern flour
II•11 been in limited request, but the market remains
without important alteration.
FRIDAY NIGHT.-As regards prices, the trade for
English whist at Mark lane, this morning, was
decidedly firm ; hut the demand, notwithstanding that
the plow of samples was very limited, ruled inactive.
Foreign wheat was by no mewls extensively dealt in ;
nevertheless, the quotations were supported. The finest
deteriptioos of barley unwed off slowly, on former
terms. Other kinde, however, were saleable only at
lower rates. Gaud and tine oats were in (air request,
and .heir value was steadily maintained; but inferior
quslitiea-owing tiv the large importation, chiefly from
Archangel-were 6.1 per quarter cheaper. Beans and
peas realised former prices, the supply on offer being
mall. In nearly all kinds of flour sales progressed
slowly, yet no change kek place in the currencies,
compared with Monday. This week's imports amount
to 19,890 quarters of wheat, 6,310 oats, 40 make and
4,850 barrels of flour.

COLONIAL PRODUCE M A RKETS.—FRIDAV.
The Colonial and Foreign Produce Markets have, with
few exceptions, varied hut little during the work,
transactions continuing upon the same moderate scale
as noticed for some time past. In saltpetre, however,
speculative operations within the last day or two have
Lien very considerable, and prices have advanced 4a. to
5, per cut. Stocks of this article are reduced, but
good bupplies are on the water. The sugar trade is
inactive, purchases being made only for immediate
orders ; arrivals continue moderate, and with little
pressing on the market prices are free from any
appreciable decline. Rather numerous public sales of
coffee have pasaed off with some irregularity, but
leaving quotations eventually about the same as List
week. Ibe announcement of a Governmenteontract for
cocoa has not perceptibly affected this market. The
only alteration in spiees is that nutmegs and mace
do not fully maintain the recent advance. A Go-
vernment contract for 110,000 gallons of rum was ad-
vertised early in the week, since which the inquirrhas
slikhtly increased. Public tea sales were held on
Thursday, when a fair demand was experienced.
Scented caper brought higher prices, and all other
descriptions about previous rates. Russian hemp is
again ss. per ton dearer. dote is ni4 so saleable, and
the common quality has slightly given way in price.
There is no improvement in the deinan I for silk, which
is quoted nominally as before. The colonial wool sales
progress steadily. East India and colonial hides meet •
good competition from both home and foreign buyers.
Beyond a further advance in indigo, no change worth
notice has occurred in dyestuffs. The metal tiadle,
although not brisk, ie healthy. Banes tin has
advanced £2 per ton. °diced' have made rather
higher terms for arrivals, and on the spot rates are very
Sem, with but small available supplies. Linseed oil is
more plentiful, and may be obtained £2 10s to £5 per
ton under late extreme rates. The tallow market has
been depressed, Is to Is Cal by heavy arrivals, and at
the close to-day the tendency was still downwards.
