wheat have beets-received up to our market this week, chiefly
iu very damp condition. Selected samples have changed hands
at about stationary prices; but other kinds have ruled heavy,

of which have been by no means extensive—has moved off
slowly, but we have no decline to notice in its value. Floating
cargoes of grain have continued steady. The barley trade has
been much less active, yet holders have for the most part
retused to give way in price. Malt has sold to a moderate ex-
tent, at extreme quotations. Tice show of oats has been good,
yet the oat trade has continued steady, at late rates. Beans
and peas about stationary. Fine flour has supported previous
currencies ; but country marks have gone a shade lower.
