CORN EXCHANGE—Up to our market this week, coast•
wise and by land ca Triage, the receipts of English wheat have
been seasonably extensive. For all kinds the demand has ruled
heavy, and prices have given way from Ss to Ss per quarter. The
show of foreign wheat has not been to say extensive, yet
scarcely any business has been doing in it, and the quotations
bavehad a downward tendency. Fine parcels of barley have
sold freely, at full prices; but grinding and distilling sorts have
given way Is per quarter. The malt trade has continued very
Inactive, on former terms. Although large quantities of oats
continue to reach us from abroad, the oat trade is steady, at
fully late rates. Old beans have given way is per quarter; but
white p 3/19 have been on the advance. We have no change to
notice in the value of flour.
