CORN-EXCHANGE About average time-of-year supplies
of home-grown wheat have been received up to our market this
week. The large millers have been very cautious in their
operations ; yet, in some instances, pricey have shown a ten-
dency to advance. The imports of toreign wheat have been ex-
tensive, and sales have progressed slowly—low qualities having
changed hands on somewhat easier terms. Barley has realised
Is per quarter more money; and the value of malt has been well
supported. The oat trade has rule i heavy, and prices have not
been supported. Beans, peas, and flour have beau in moderate
supply and sluggish request, on former terms.
