he market to day has but few arrival,: of any
kind of Gr,:in, and not many buyers. The Wheat
trade is vezy heavy, and several of the Monday's
samples unsold ; it does not fetch the. last quoted
terms. Barley is nut in full supply, and appears to
fetch somewhat better prices, as does Malt. We no-
tice little alteration in Peas or Beans. The oat
trade is brisk, with but few on hand, which creates
a small advance on this article. Flour is in full sup-
ply, and our general currency as under.
