THE PRE S S, OCTOBER 3, 1857.

Vdrupolitan Aiar

(Reported;xclusivelyfor"TnE PREsil.")

CORN EXCEIANGE—During the present week a very mode-
rate supply of English wheat has appeared on sale, coastwise
and by land carriage; but the general condition of the samples
continues good. Fine qualities have moved off steadily, at an
improvement in value of is per quarter, and the value of all
other kinds has been well supported. Foreign wheat—the im.
ports of which have been limited for the time of year—has been
in improved request, at very full prices. Floating cargoes of
grain have realised previous rates. Fine malting barley has
maintained last week's quotations; but other kinds have fallen
in value Is per quarter. The business doing in malt has con-
tinued limited, but we have no change to notice in its value.
Although we continue to receive large supplies of oats from
abroad, the oat trade has ruled steady, at very full prices. In
the value of beans and peas no change has taken place. Country
flour has ruled a shade higher.
