STATE OF THE CORN TRADE FOR TIIE
WEEK.

Mall Luc', Friday.—Compared with the previous I
week, no change of importance Las taken place in the
wheat trade. Most of the leading markets of consump-
tion have been tolerably well, but not to say heavily
'applied with home grown wheat in good saleable con-
dition. Both red and white samples have changed hands
somewhat steadily ; nevertheless, no quotable change
has taken place in prices. The supplies of wheat, both
here and at the various outporta, have been Reasonably
extensive. Selected qualities have sold, chiefly in retail
quantities, at full currencies; but inferior descriptions
have commanded very little attention Although the
shipments of food from the America and Black Sea
ports continue on an extensive scale, holders here have
shown no disposition to force Wes. Barley has come
freely to hand, and the sale for it has been somewhat
restricted, on rather easier terms. In the value of malt
scarcely any change has taecn place. There has bet n a
steady inquiry for oats, at full quotations. Both beans
and peas have ruled quite as high as in the previous
week. There has been • fair average business doing in
dour, at quite late currencies.
The French markets 'vivo exLibitod more firmness
than of late, and, in some instances,
of
bee produced
rather mere money. All kinds of spring corn have
moved off somewhat freely. In the States, produce is
in large supply. Prices, however, owing to the large
export business to England and Preece, continue
etaaily.
in Sc Aland, wheat has moved off slowly,at about pre-
vious rates. Barley has given way in price; but all calor
artieles have moved off steadily.
The Irish markets have been somewhat fully supplied
with produce. Pine wheat, oats, and maim have
changed hands freely, at full currencies. Otherwise, the
trade has been in a sluggish state.
New YORK, Nov. 12.—The flour market was less
buoyant. Males were moderate, and the low grades of
State and Western were rather easier, while medium
and extra shipping brande including extra round hoop
Ohio, were quite firm at Saturdays rates. Canadian
flour was heavy and lower, with sales of about POO lila,
closing within the above range of prices. Southern
floor was again heavy, and easier for common grades.
Wheat was in good request, though somewhat irregular

for some gradetil
FAIDAT Nicia.—Tho wheat trade, to-day, at Mark
Lane, was free from excitement Most holders of
English sample. were asking an advance oil, to 2i;
but an bnprovement WAS realised in a few Modulate
only, and that to the extent of but Is per quarter. The
supply on offer was small, yet the greater portion was
left unsold at the close of business. Int:miters
foreign wheat were very firm, and all descriptions were
held at enhanced rates. SOWe portion of the American
amply was withdrawn from the market. The demand
for barley WAS in A very aluggialx state. and secondary
qualities were decidedly cheaper. Oats, beano, and pros
were in tnoderate, though by no means active request,
on former terms. Flour was firm, and American brands
advanced 64 per barrel. Tight week's imports are some-
what estenaive, viz.' 20,020 quarters of wheat • 4,260
barley; 11,090 oats ; 500 sacks and 14,300 ba;rele of
dour. _ _ .
