BRITISH CORN TRADE
The improvement in the corn tratle is irregular, but
it cannot be called decisive. At markets where wheat
and flour are quoted as Is. dearer the trade is really
less benefited than it appeari to be. The wheat and
flour are not purchasable at former currencies, and
business is transacted at the is. improvement, but
thn improvement is confined to certain de_seriptions
or marks, which arc bought up well, while a large
proportion of the secondary samples are passed by,
and the rest are bargained for but finally refused,
except at previous rates, which sellers will not accept.
The present activity of the markets is only corn-
parative. After the legarthy and stagnation of
October and the first fortnight of the present month
a iestricted amelioration of the position of trade is
welcomed, and is apt to be overrated in its importance.
The movement commenced with floating cargoes,
which, about the 13th, became dearer than formerly,
with a recovery of strength. In some cases fully 25.
per qr. more money, from the recent lowest point,
has been made on cargoes, whilst from America the
quotations come 25. 6d. per qr. higher. At the present
moment wheat continues steady, but there is no active
demand. A cargo of spring American wheat made
4.3 s Gd. s.d. per 480 lb. on Wednesday. In maize
nothing is offering. Barley is quotable unaltered for
onlinary qualities, but good Danubian commands
full rates. There is still a limited inquiry for exporta.
tion to New York, a very unusual circumstance. Beens
are rather stronger in price, as 465. 3d. t.q. per 480 lb.
been refused for Tunisian. In cargoes on passage and
for shipment, of wheat, there is more disposition to
sell.

The present aspect of the corn trade is healthy,
when confined to consumptive demands, and as yet
there are no others, speculation not having any ground
to occupy.
On kriday, at Mark-lane, English wheat met a
steady sale at Monday's prices ; foreign and American
quiet and unaltered. The flour trade ruled dull at
late values. Barley and maize remain firm. Oats
steady at previous rates. Beans and peas unchanged.
At Liverpool the market for wheat closed upon a
moderate business, but rates of Tuesday fully main-
tained, and occasionally sonic advance made. Flour
steady. In Indian corn a fair busines was done at 3d
to 6d per quarter improvement. At Wakefield wheat
trade firm, and in some instances an advance of Is
Per quarter upon last Friday's prices obtained,
especially for fresh red. Barley generally is per
quarter dearer, but common qualities still neglected.
Oats fetched extreme rates. At Derby wheat quiet
but firm. At Lincoln prices were fully as high as last
week. At Southampton a steady trade, without
change of price.

On Thursday at Bristol there was a fair supply of
English wheat, farmers requiring is. per qr. advance;
but little business was done, and the trade closed quid
at last week's prices. Scarcely anydemand for foreign,
and we du nut alter quotations. Indian corn, from
scarcity, commanded an advance of 6d. per quarter.
Fine malting barley in better request and the turn
dearer ; grinding slow and 6d. per quarter higher. A
good demand fur oats, but last week's values could
not be exceeded.

At Devizes trade ruled firm at last week's prices;
in some instances is. per quarter more money was
made.—At Birmingham a moderate supply of English
wheat, with a gradually improving demand. The
advance generally insisted upon, however, checked
business.
