CORN•EXCHANGE—eery limited supplies of English wheat
have come to hand this week; yet, owing to the steady imports
from the Continent, the fall in priees in France, and the favour-
able accounts respecting the growing crops, the demand has
continued in a very inactive state. Really tine qualities have
mostly changed hands at full quotations; but all other kinds
have given way in value hom is to 2s per quarter. All foreign
wheats have sold slowly, and the currencies have had a down.
ward tendency. In floating cargoes very few sales have been
reported. Grinding barley has commanded former terms ; but
the value of other descriptions has ruled almost nominal. There
has been very little doing in malt, at late currencies. The supply
has been seasonably good. For oats the inquiry has ruled dull,
yet holders have been tolerably firm. Both beans and peas, es
well as Indian corn, have sold heavily, on former terms. The
flour trade has been depressed, and American parcels have given
way is per barrel. The top price of town-made has fallen to 68s
per 2ROlbs.
