CORN EXCHANGE—Very moderate supplies of English
wheat have come to hand since our last report, coastwise and by
land-carriage. The finest qualities have mostly sold at previous
rates ; but other kinds rave moved off heavily, at drooping
prices, The imports of foreign wheat are good, and the trade
has ruleddull, on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain have
been less active. The barley trade has ruled brisk, and the
quotations have improved fully is per quarter. In the value of
malt we havd no change to report: the supplies continue very
moderate. We have had a dull inquiry for oats, at 6d to is per
quarter less money. Beans, peas, and flour have moved off
slowly, at late rates.
