Irl. I\lll DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
A very limited supply of English whett has been re.
• ceivcd up to our market this week, coastwise and by land
carriage. The show of samples here to-day was triflino. ;
yet, owing to the difficulties of navigation, the demand for
all cinds was very inactive. In prices scarcely any change
look place.
For foreign wheat, the show of which was moderate,
there was very little inquiry, on former terms. Importers
enerally were firm.
Malting barley was scarce, and quite as dear as on Mon-
thly. Grinding and distilling sorts were heavy.
The malt trade was dull, on former terms.
--1-V e had a steady demand for oats, and fine corn was
rather dear.
Beans, peas, and flour commanded very little attention.
