CORN-EXCHANGE—Since our last report a very limited
supply of English wheat has reached us, coastwise and by land
carriage. Although the show of samples has been trifling, the
trade has ruled heavy, and most of the receipts from Kent have
changed hands at a decline of is per quarter. There has been a
falling off in the imports of foreign wheat, yet we have observed
no inclination on the part of factors to get into stock, and the
quotations have beau with difficulty supported. Floating (targets
have ruled very dull, and easier. We have hod • dull inquiry
for barley, the rates of which have given way is per quarter.
The malt trade has continued dull, on former terms. The oat
trade has been in a sluggish state, at a further fall in the quota-
Mons of 6d per quarter. Both beans and peas have been heavy,
at late currencies. Flour has been dull, and country marks have
sold rather cheaper.
