CORN EXCHANGE—OnIy moderate supplies of English
wheat have been received up to our market this week, and the
demand for all kinds has ruled steady, at an advance in the
quotations of from Is to 4s per quarter. At that improvement
good clearances have beeu effected. Fine foreign wheats have
produced rather more money; but low and damp parcels have
ruled heavy. Floating cargoes of grain have changed hands
somewhat freely, at full currencies. Fine barley has sold
readily, at previous rates. Light parcels have met a slow in-
quiry. The malt trade has ruled heavy, and prices have con•
tinned to give way. Russian oats have gone rather easier; but
other qualities hare sold at full prices. Beans, peas, and flour

have been the turn against buyers, and the demand has continued
in a healthy state.
