CORN-EXCHANGE —During the present week the arrivals
of English wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, have been
but moderate ; nevertheless, the demand for all deacriptions has
ruled heavy, at a decline in the prices obtained on Monday
se'nnight of from is to 2s per quarter, at which amount of
depression clearances have not been effected. The imports of
foreign wheat have not been large; whilst the sale fur that
grain has been iu a very inactive state, at about previous curren-
cies. Floating cargoes have c.ommauded very little attention.
Both English and foreign barley has come freely to hand, and
met a dull sale, at drooping prices. Malt has gone lower, with
a slow inquiry. Oats—the arrivals of which continue large—
have sold heavily, at is per quarter less money. Beans, peas,
and flour have moved off heavily, at barely last week's quota-
tions.
