CORN EXCHANGE—OnIy a limited supply of English
wheat has been received up to our market this week, coast-
wise and by land carriage; nevertheless, the demand has been
in a sluggish state. but without leiscling to any change in price.
A few sales of foreign wheat have been forced on easier terms,
and the trade has ruled heavy. The show of both English and
foreign barley has been very extensive, and the barley trade has
continued heavy, at a further decline in value of 2s per quarter.
Malt has moved off slowly, at barely the late decline. The
supplies cf oats having been very extensive, the oat trade has
been in a depressed stele, at Is per quarter less money. Beans
and peas have met a dull inquiry on former terms. The flour
trade has ruled heavy, at late rates.
