CORN EXCHANGE—Notwithstanding that only limited
supplies of English wheat have come to hand fir our
market during the present week, all kinds have move! off
heavily. and prices have further receded le to 2s per quarter.
The imports of foreign wheat have not been extensive; never-
theless, the inquiry for that grain has fallen off, and the quota-
tions have had a downward tendency. Floating cargoes of
grain have commanded very little attention. The barley trade—
owing to large supplies having come in from the Continent—
has ruled heavy, at is to 2s per quarter less money. Malt has
been rather lower to purchase. The receipts of foreign oats
have been again large. and the oat trade has continued dull, at
Is to 25 per quarter beneath last week's currency. in the value
of beans and peas no change has taken place. Town-made
flour has given way 4s--other qualities quite is per 2anlbs.
