CORN EXCHANGE—The present week's arrivals of English
wheat up to our market, coastwise and by land carriage, have
been only moderate. The transactions have not been exten-
sive; nevertheless, the trade has ruled steady, and in some
instances prices have advanced Is per quarter. The week's,
however, has closed somewhat heavily. Foreign wheat—the
imports of which have been rather limited—has sold to a
fair extent, at full quotations. The few floating cargoes on offer
have commanded extreme rates. slost kinds of barley have sold
steadily, at fully previous quotations; but malt has commanded
very little attention. Oats—the show of which has been
tolerably extensive—have changed hands steadily, at very full
prices. Both beans and peas have been in fair request, and

per 2601b5.
