CORN-EXCIIANG E--The severity of the weather having
impeded the navigation of the Thames, scarcely any fresh
supply of English wheat has been on sale in our market this
week. The demand, however, from all craft-work being sue.
pended, and from most of the watermUle having stopped work-
ing, has been in a most depreseedstate; indeed, au few trausee-
lions have taken place that the quotations have ruled uoznival.
Scarcely any import* of wheat have taken place from abroad'
nevertheless, there has been no desire shown to make sales, and
prices have been without change. Floating eargoes off Falmouth
have been held at full tturreneles. For barley and malt there bar
been little or no inquiry, at lato rater. The oat trails may be
considered steady, at full prices. In the value of beans, peas,
and dour, no change can be uotlee.
