CORN EXCHANGE—We have again to report the arrival
of a very moderate supply of English wheat, coastwise as well
as by land-carriage. AU kinds, however, have moved off heavily,
and prices have nominally given way is to 2s per quarter. The
imports of foreign wheat have been limited for the time of year.
The transactions have been chiefly confined to retail parcels, on
former terms. Floating cargoes of grain have continued firm
in price. Fine barley has realised previous rates; but secondary
and inferior kinds have given way fully is per quarter. There
has been much less activity in the malt trade, at barely late
rates. Good sound oats have commanded full quotations ; but
other qualities have fallen tid per quarter. No change has taken
place in the value of beans, peas, or flour, the arrivals of which
have been only moderate.
