CORN EXCHANGE-( FRIDAY.)
Notwithstanding the quantity of English Wheat re
ceived up to our market coastwise, during the preset),
week, has been only 1,490 quart-rs, end the receipts by
land carriage equally small, the demand for that de•
scription of grain this morning was iu a very depressed
state. In some instances the quotations were almost
nominal, and, where sales took place, is to 2s per guar.
ter less money was accepted by the factors. At that
reduction the market closed heavily. Upwards of
30,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat have corn.
to hand. This large supply produced great hems
viness in the trade, and prices rec,ded Is to
2s pr quarter. !. In flouting cargoes no sales.
We had a vet-) limited show of Barley; still, however,
it was quite equal to the demand, which ruled heavy, at
barely stational). prices. la next to nothing was
doing, at late figures. The inquiry ter Oats, Beans,
Peas, and Flour wss wholly in retail. Prices tendeu
down wards.
