CORN EXCHANGE—ScarceIy any old English wheat bag been
received up to our market this week ; but the supply of new
has amounted to nearly 20,000 quarters in most excellent con-
dition. In the former scarcely any business has been trans-
acted ; but nearly the whole of the latter has changed hands at
Ss to :is per quarter decline. The demand for foreign wheat
has ruled heavy, at almost nominal currencies. Fine new
barley has sold at from 42s to des per quarter ; but the trade has
been by no means active. In the value of malt we have no
change to notice. There has been a fair inquiry for oats, on
former terms. Beans and peas have commanded very little
attention. The value of dour has remained stationary.
