CORN-EXCHANGE—A vory limited supply of English wheat
has been received up to our market this week, coastwise and
by land carriage. Although the show of samples bas been
trifling, the demand for all kinds has ruled heavy, anp, in some
instances, Kentish qualities have sold at a reduction iu price of
from is to 2s per quarter. Scarcely any fresh foreign wheat has
been brought forward, yet the inquiry for that grain has con-
tinued very inactive, and the quotations have been almost
nominal. In floating cargoes very little has been doing. Barley
—the supply of which has not increased—has moved off heavily,
and the quotations have had a downward tendency. Malt has
been a mere drug. We have had very little inquiry for oats, on
former terms ; whilst both beans and peas—so hew transactions
have taken place in them—have ruled nominal. The top price
of town•made flour is now 70s per 2bdlbs.
