During the present week, and fresh up to this moruleo.
market, the arrivals of English wheat have been but °Lb
derate. Notwithstanding that the show of samples of bled
red and white was limited, the demand for ail. kinds it..
exceedingly inactive, at barely stationary prices. For A—

Larger imports of foreign wheat-17,140 guar

again taken place; hence the trade was heavy, anu of
quotations were barely supported. Floating cargo
wheat were offering on lower terms. t
Very little English barley was brought forward, bri
supply of foreign was very large for the time of year, vlr
15,530 qrs. Fine malting samples sold slowly, on fgrea•
terms ; but the value of other kinds had a downwaau
dancy.
,
We had a dull inqr;ry for malt, but no material change
took place in prices.
The imports of oats being large the trade ruled hen
and in some instances the currencies were the turn -la
favour of buyers.
Beans and peas were steady, but flour ruled dull, and
American was lower to purchase.
