CORN-EXCHANGE The arrivals of English wheat up to
our market this week, coastwise and by land carriage, have
been on a very moderate scale. For all descriptions the demand
has been rather inactive ; but we have no change to notice in
prices. Foreign wheat has come freely to hand. The transac-
tions have not been large, on former terms. The inquiry for
floating cargoes kiss been dull. We have been fairly supplied
with barley, in which very little business has been doing, at late
rates. Malt has moved ofT heavily ; yet we have no actual de-
cline to notice in prices. Oats have commanded an advance of
6d per quarter, and the value of both beans and peas has had
an upward tendency. Indian corn and rye, as well as flour,
have ruled dull, at barely stationary prices.

70s to 82s ; Norfolk and Lincoln red, 70s to MOs. Malting barley,
