BRITISH CORN TRADE.
The position of the grain trade remains much the
same. The business doing has again been very
moderate, but the tone has not been materially
altered. The supply of wheat offering, both English
and foreign, has been rather smaller, and, although
the demand has not been active, prices have been
steady. Allowing for the re-export, the net importa-
tion of wheat has been 3,330,000 cwt. smaller thus
far this season than in the corresponding period of
1873-74. The imperial average price of wheat is now
405 id, or 215 sd per quarter less than last you. The
quantity of British wheat disposed of at Mark-lane
during the week ending March 9 was 3,371 quarters,
and the average price realised 435 sd. Barley, 492
quarters • average, 445 6d. Oats, 20 qrs. ; average,
295. Barley has been dull and drooping. Oats,
however, have been scarce, and rather steady. Maize,
beans, and peas have sold slowly. Flour has been
inactive and without alteration.

At Devizes a good seasonable supply of both wheat
and barley, but the trade for both ruled slow, and
'secondary sorts of barley were in some casts purchased
at a reduction. Oats, beans, and peas were also in
good supply, with a dull trade at last week's prices.
' Bat wheat, 20$ to 235 per sack ; secondary ditto, Os
' to 20$; barley, 38s to sts ; fine flour, 30 to 355 ;
best seconds, 30s to 331; oats, 28s to 385 ; peas, 221
to 265; beans, new, 241 to 275; ditto old, 265 to 298 ;
best bread, gd per gallon.—At Birmingham buyers
offered the prices of last week, but holders insisting
; upon some advance, the actual business was by no
means extensive.
On Friday, at Mark lane, market very quiet, and
,no material change occurred in prices. The supplies
' of wheat were short, and for the better kinds of
foreign, factors, it was reported, asked a little more
money, but no advance was established, and the
rates of Monday last in all instances were supported.
Barley was dull, and prices were nominally unchanged.
Malt met with a slow sale at drooping prices. Oats
; were in limited supply, and consequently not cheaper,
but maize was plentiful, and easier in value. Beans
and peas were purchased cautiously at about late rates.
; For flour the demand was inactive, and the quotations
had rather a downward tendency. At Andover
; trade was brisk in both wheat and barley, at late
currencies. At Coventry wheat advanced 6s. to Is.
per qr. At Derby little doing in wheat. At Dublin
foreign wheat a better demand for higher classes, at
1 late rates. frith wheat unchanged. At Lincoln wheat
at last week's tatcs. No change in other grain. At
Liverpool a moderate consumptive business has been
done in wheat at Tuesday's prices. Flour dull and
unaltered. At Stamford, very flat. At Wakfield, a
good demand for fine red wheats, at rather more
money than last week. Secondary sorts steady.
