CORN-EXCHANGE—Although the receipts of home-grown
wheat up to our market this week Lave been uu a very mode-
rate scale, the climatal for all kinds has ruled heavy, at a decline
in the quotations of 2s per quarter. Foreign wheat has sold
wholly iu retail quantities. yet prices have beim supported.
There has been a fair inquiry forifloating cargoes, on former
terms. We have to report a good demand for fine barley—the
supply of which is small—at lull quotations. Inferior kinds are
dull, at barely previous rates. Malt has sold steadily, on former
terms. Old oats have gone rather dearer; but new parcels are
easier to purchase. No change has taken place In the value of
beans. Grey and maple peas have realised tormer terms ; but
white parcels have given way :s per quarter. The flour trade
has been in a sluggish state, at barely stationary prices.
