CORN EXCHANGE—OnIy limited supplies of English
wheat have come to hand this week, coastwise and by land
carriage. Toe best samples have moved oil steadily, at full
prices Other kinds have ruled inactive, at late rates. Fur
foreign wheat—the imports of which have been limited—the
inquiry has been chiefly confined to retail parcels, on former
terms. Floating cargoes of grain have ruled tolerably active.
Fine malting barley has sold readily, at an improvement in value
of la per quarter. Grinding and distilling sorts have realised
previous rates. The malt trade has been tolerably firm, but we
have no change to notice in prices. Oats have bold slowly, but
we have no actual change to notice in their value. Beans and
peas have barely maintained last week's currency. Flour has
ruled about stationary, with a limited demand.
