THE MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, OcT. 14.

trary winds ; but this morning there was a good supply of

tities of Barley, Peas, Beans, and Oats, are but moderate. The
Wheat trade continues very dull at last week's prices. Barley
for Malting, sells freely at 2s. per qr. advance ; Beans are Is.
per qr. higher ; Boiling and Grey Peas remain much the same
to price as per last week's quotation ; good Oats maintain this
day se'nnight's prices, bUt the trade is not very brisk, as further
arrivals are soon expected.
