CORN EXCHANGE The present week's arrivals of
English wheat have been very moderate, but in improved con-
dition. All kinds have met a dull inquiry, at a decline in the
quotations of from Is to 25 per quarter. Rather large supplies
of foreign wheat have come fresh to hand, chiefly from the
Baltic. Importers have been firm, but only a limited business
has been transacted. Floating cargoes of grain have been less
active. Fine malting barley has mostly sold at late rates ; but
other descriptions have given way in value Is to 2s per quarter.
Malt, too. has gone off slowly, on rather easier terms. Oats
have been iii good supply and heavy request; new parcels. in
low condition, have ruled in favour of buyers. Both beans and
peas, as well as flour, have sold at full prices.
