BRISTOL CORN MARKET, OCT. 18.—There were rather
short supplies of English wheat at to-day's market. for
which as also for good foreign parcels an advance of full
Is per quarter was realised, but not with an active sale
thereat.—English sold at from 38s to 45s per imperial
quarter; foreign white, from 44s to 47s per 4801bs;
foreign red, fine qualities, 40s to 425; ditto ditto, ordi-
nary qualities, 37s to 40s; ditto, hard, 34s to 38s. For
flour there was a better demand at an improvement of
