CORN•EXCHANGE Since our last report the receipts of
English wheat, coastwise, have been very moderate; and we
have had scarcely any addition to the supply by land carriage.
The trade has not been to say brisk ; nevertheless, factors have
established an advance in the quotations of is per quarter.
There has been a fair demand for foreign wheat, the value of
which has improved is per quarter. In floating cargoes
few transactions have been reported. Rather large quantities of
barley have changed hands, and prices have risen Is per quarter.
In malt only a limited business has been doing, on former
terms. The oat trade has been firm, at an advance of Is per
quarter. Both beans and peas have met a dull inquiry, at a
decline of Is per quarter. Flour has continued steady, at full
quotations.
