CORN EXCHANGE—OnIy a moderate supply of English
wheat has been received up to our market this week, coastwise
and by land carriage. For moat kinds the demand has been far
from active, at about stationary prices. Foreign wheat—the
imports of which have been limited—has met a dull inqoity,
on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain have commanded
less attention. The receipts of barley have been trifling, but
equal to the demand. In prices no change has taken place.
Malt, owing to the change in the duty, has gone lower. There
has been a fair inquiry for oats. on former terms • but beans
have given way is per quarter. Peas have realised full quota-
tions. In flour very little has been doing.
