BRITISII CORN TRADE
There has been much quietness in the trade with
the return of mild weather. The firm tendency in
the wheat market has altogether disappeared, and at
the present moment formal sales are only concluded at
reduced prices, notwithstanding that the supplies
offering are by no means excessive. Millers are
operating with extreme caution, in fact, not beyond
what is absolutely necessary to supply current wants
—hence the paucity of business completed. The
imperial average price of wheat is now 175 6d. per
quarter below that of the corresponding period last
year. During the twelve months just finished, the
quantity of foreign wheat imported into the United
Kingdom was 41,479460 cWtS., against 43,751,630
ewts. in the previous year. The quantity of British
wheat disposal of at Mark-lane during the week
ending January 5, was 2,650 quarters, and the
average price 475. Barley, 979 quarters; average,
46s
On Thursday, at liristol, there was a moderate
supply of moderate supply of English wheat—the
trade titled dull, at a reduction of to. per qr. ; foreign
sold in retail at a similar decline. Malting barley
firm ; for grinding parcels a fair inquiry, at fully last
week's pnem 'Maize, from scarcity, was fully as
dear. With moderate supplies of oats the demand
I was quiet, as about last week's values.

English wheat in short supply ; nevertheless demand

quietly. at late rates. Grinding unaltered. Malt
changed hands at late prices. English oats scarce,

moderate trade in wheat, fine red and white Michigan

quarter.
