CORN-EXCHANGE We have again to report the arrival of
a very moderate supply of home-grown wheat up to our market,
coastwise and by laud carriage ; yet, owing to the favorable
accounts respecting the crops, the demand for all kinds has
ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations of from 2a to Sc per
quarter. Foreign wheat—the imports of which bare been by
no means extensive—has ruled heavy, at almost nominal
quotations. The transactions iu floating cargoes have been less
extensive than of late. The barley trade has ruled steady, at
late rates; but malt has comman,:ed very little attention. Oats
have sold slowly, but we have no change to notice in their value
Beans and pees have been unaltered in value. Flour has
ruled heavy, and ship qualities have given way la per sack.
