CORN-EXCHANGE —Up to our market this week the
arrivals of English wheat have been sery limited, and chiefly of
the new crop hi fair average condition. For all kinds the de-
mand has ruled steady, at. a further advance in the quotations
of from is to 2e, and, in some instances, 3s per quarter. Foreign
wheat—the imports of which have been small—has continued
firm, at 2s to 35 per quarter more money. Floating cargoes
have realised a slight, improvement. Barley has moved off
freely, and grinding qualities have realised is advance. There
has been a much better sale for malt., at extreme quotations.
The arrival of foreign oats has been good, yet sound qualities
have produced rather more money. Beaus and peas have
changed hands steadily, and the rates have had an upward ten-
dency. Flour has realised extreme currencies.
