STATE OF THE CORN__ TRADE FOR THE

-WEEK.

MARE LANZ, Friday Evening.-Notwithstending that
only moderate supplies of hoinregrown wheat have been
on offer in the leading markets of consumption held this
week, the demand for all kinds have fallen off, and
prices have given way from Is to 2s per quarter.
Foreign wheat has changed hands slowly, at about
previous rates. Both English and foreign barley has
realised former terms, with a good consumptive inquiry.
The malt trade, however, has not improved ; neverthre
less, the currencies have been supported. There has
been a fair, but by no means active, sale for oats, at quite
late quotations. Both beans and peas have oommanded
very full prices ; but the inquiry for all sorts of flour
haa been lese active.
Throughout the Continent, wheat has moved off
slowly, at barely stationary prices. Spring corn,
however, especially selected qualities of barley and oats,
have commanded quite previous rates.
In America, no change if importance has taken place
in the value of either flour or wheat. The shipments
to England continue on a full average scale.
In ticotland,the wheat trade has been tar from active,
and prices have had • drooping tendency. Barley and
most other articles have mold steadily at extreme rates.
The crops generally are turning out inferior, compared
with last year, both as to quant;ty and quality.
The Irish markets have been fairly supplied with
wheat, which has ruled heavy. In prices, however, no
change of importance has taken plate; Most other
articles' have moved off steadily at late currencies.
Annexed are Mr. E. Ilaiuford's observations in
reference to the floating trade :-The arrivals for orders
reported up to last night since the 24th ult. are 33,
comprising d cargoes of wheat, 15 maize, and 10 tole-
Celluneous.
FRIDAY NIORT.-The fresh arrivals of English wheat
to Mark lane, this morning, were very moderate. Com-
pared with Monday, there wag more firmness in the
trade, both for red and white qualities, and that
day's decline in the quotations was, in several
listening, recovered. Foreign wheat was held
at extreme rates ; but the amount of
business transacted in it was small. Malting barley sold
steadily, at full quotations ; and other kinds were firm
in vnlue. Oats moved off slowly, yet good sweet corn
quite supported previous rates. lieans and peas were
in limited supply, and both articles changed hands at
quite the resent advance in prices. In flour the
business doing was somewhat restricted. The quota-
tations, however, ruled firm. Tide week's imports
amount to 25,430 quarters of wheat, 5,460 barley, 32,300
oats, 500 sacks and 790 barrels of four.
