CORN-EXCHANGE—Very limited supplies of English wheat
have come to hand this week, coastwise and by laud carriage.
Although the show of samples has been small, the demand has
ruled rather inactive. Prices, however, have been well sup-
ported. Foreign wheat—the imports of which have been
Issasenably good—has moved off steadily, at an advance in the
quotations of from is to 2s per quarter. Floating cargoes have
been in good request, and fine Marianopoli has sold as high as
82s per quarter. Fine malting barley has realised extreme
rates ; but inferior parcels have given way Is per quarter. In
the value of grinding and distilling sorts no change has taken
place. Malt has sold slowly, on former terms. The oat trade
hascontinued firm, at very full prices. In beans and peas only a
limited business has been doing, at late rates. The flour trade
has ruled firm; but we have no change to notice in the quota-
