CORN-EXCHANGE. IVEIINZSDAY, Aran, ft.
Owing to contrary winds we have had no arrivals from our own
coast since Monday, and what little fine English Wheat was left
over from Saturday was taken off on full as good terms as in our
last. Barley continues very heavy sale, having but few buyers of
that article, and the arrivals from ab.uld glut the market. Oats
support Monday's price, and Beans were more enquired atter,
but the holders ask higher prices, which are not lobe obtained.

CORN EXCHANGE. FRIDAY. Aran. 43.
We have still a very short supply of Wheat, but Monday's
prices are with difficulty obtained fur fine wimples. The inferior
descriptions of Wheat continue without demi tid. Barley of the
finest quality supports Monday's price's, having butt a short sup.
ply this morning. Oats arc brisk in sale. and fully support last
prices. Beane are from 33. to ss. per qr. dearer, the finest qua.
lity of which met ready sale at that advance.
