rail, the arrivals of lloglibh wheat were again 'limited. All
kinds met a dull inquiry, ne‘ertheless in sales concluded
the extreme rates of Monday last were realised.
The show of foreign wheat was extensive and of fair
average quality ; but the titmand ruled very inactive, at
stationary quotations.
Fine malting barley was very firm in price, and grinding
and distilling qualities commanded rather more money.
The floating grain cargo trade continued very firm.
Wheat arrived and on passage was sought after at full
values ; barley and maize were steady, linseed and rapeseed
quiet.

The malt trade was inactive, but no change took place
in the quotation.

inferior parcels were rather cheaper.
Beans commanded the late advance, with a fair der-and.
