CORN EXCHANGE—AIthough the arrivals of English
wheat up to our market this week have been very moderate,
the demand for all kinds has ruled very inactive, at unaltered
quotations. All foreign wheats have tone oft slowly, but we
have no changs to notice in paces. Floating cargoes of grain
have commanded very little attention. The show of both Eng-
lish and foreign barley has been seasonably extensive, and the
trade has continued heavy, at the late decline in value. Malt—
although the receipts have not been extensive—has ruled dull,
and rather easier in price. Both beans and peas have moved off
slowly, but we have no change to notice in the quotations.
Flour has been held for rather more money
