Vitmotitan Markets.

(Beportedsoclusivelyfor "Tine Pass..")
CORN EXCHANGE—During the present week only mode-
rate supplies of English wheat have been received up to our
market, coastwise and by land carriage, and most of the samples
have been out of condition. The trade has ruled exceedingly
heavy, at a further decline in the quotations of from 2s to 4s
per quarter. In foreign wheat—the imports of which have not
been extensive—very little has been doing, and prices have
given way fully 2s per quarter. The supplies of both English
and foreign barley having been in excess of the demand, the
currencies have fallen Is to 2a per quarter. Malt has sold
cheaper, with a heavy demand. Very large quantities of oats
have reached us from Ireland as well as from the Continent.
The oat trade has, consequently, ruled heavy, at is to 2s per
quarter less money. Both beans and peas have nearly sup-
ported previous rates. The flour trade has continued heavy, at
drooping prices.
