CORN EXCHANGE The present week's arrivals of
English wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, have been on a
very limited scale. Amongst them have been 500 quarters of
the present year's growth from Essex and Kent, in tender con-
dition. For all kinds the demand has ruled brisk at an advance
in the quotations of from 3s to, in some instances, 5s per
quarter. There has been rather an active inquiry for foreign
wheat, and several parcels have found buyers on French account
at from 39 to 4s per quarter more money. The few floating
cargoes oti offer have sold on somewhat higher terms. The
receipts of barley have been small. That article has sold
steadily at very full prices. In the value of malt no change has
taken place. Oats have connuanded more attention, and must
be quoted lid to is per quarter higher. In beans and peas very
little doing on former terms. The flour trade has ruled brisk.
The top price of the best town-made has advanced to 55s per
sack. American has risen is to 2s per barrel.
