CORN EXCHANGE—AIthough the supplies of English
wheat on offer this week have been only moderate, the trade has
ruled heavy, and prices have given way fully 2s per quarter.
Owing to the prevailing damp weather, moot of the samples
'ave conic to hand out of condition. The fresh iu.ports of
foreign wheat have not been extensive. Even the finest sam-
ples have moved off slowly, and the quotations have bad a
downward tendency. Floating cargoes of grain have been
mostly held at hill quotations. Flue barley bas sold to a mode-
rate extent at last week's prices. but the value of grinding and
distilling sorts has given way fully Is per quarter. In malt very
little has been passing, at Is per quarter less money. The oat
trade has ruled inactive, at a fall of fully f.d per quarter. Buns,
peas. and sour have moved of slowly, yet scarcely any change
Ilia taken place in their value.
