CORN-EXCHANGE—The present week's arrivals of English
wheat up to our market, coastwise and by land carriage, have
been ♦ery limited. Although the show of samples has been
trifling, the demand has ruled inactive, and very little change
has taken place in the quotations. Foreign wheats—the im-
port of which have been tolerably good—have sold slowly, on
former terms. Floating cargoes have realised full currencies.
The arrivals of foreign barley have increased to some extent.
and the inquiry has ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices. In
the value of malt we have no change to report, but the trade has
continued very inactive. Good sound oats have sold steadily, at
full quotations; low and inferior kinds have given way fully bd
per quarter. In the value of beans, peas, anti dour, no altera-
tion can be noticed.
