CORN EXCHANGE Since our last report only limited
supplies of English wheat have come to hand, coastwise and by
railway. For all kinds there has been au improved demand, and
good clearances have been effected, at very full prices. The im-
ports of foreign wheat have been comparatively small. Both
fur borne use and export we have had a steady inquiry, and very
tine wheats have realised a trifle more money. Fine malting
barley has sold briskly, at an improvement in value of is per
quarter, and the value of grinding and distilling sorts has been
well supported. Malt has sold to a moderate extent, on former
terms. Good sound oats have realised previous rates; but infe-
rior kinds have met a dull inquiry. Beaus and peas have com-
manded very little attention. In prices, however, no change
has taken place. The flour trade has ruled steady, and Norfolk
qualities have been a shade higher.
