CORN-EXCHANGE Although the arrivals of English
wheat during the preeent week have been on a very moderate
scale, the demand for all kinds, owing to the immense Imports
from abroad, has ruled heavy in the extreme, at a decline In the

effected. Foreign wheat—the supply of which on offer has been
very extensive—has been exceedingly depressed, at from 3s to
411 per quarter less money. In floating cargoes scarcely a
intellection has been reported. Barley has moved off heavily,
at from is to 2s per quarter less money. Malt has given way

at 3a per sack, and 211 per barrel, less money. The top price of
the best town made is 70s per 2*Mbs.
