again. We have had liberal arrivals of flour, barley,

the foreign imports at Grangemumh. Wheat has main-

flour, for which there was a moderate demand. Barley
was dull, owing to direct supplies to distillers from
abroad. Other articles met a retail inquiry. At this
day's market there was a small attendance. Foreign
wheat was held with much firmness ; home2rown, of
good cptality and condi ion, at an advance of 6d to Is
per 2401 b. Barley, with the exci ption of prime malting
sorts, attracted little notice. Oats were a turn dearer ;
oatmeal unaltered. Beans and peas sold in retail at the
quoiations. Indian corn without change.
