HULL, OCT. 16.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states,—Tbe
imports of the past week have been very moderate, espe-
cially of fresh red wheat, of which our stocks are quite
insignificant, with an evidently approaching demand.
Oar quotations have been fully supported for all articles
of the trade, and the tendency decidedly upwards. For
today's market our farmers brought a moderate supply
of wheat, almost entirely new. For good condition
samples our millers were tolerably free buyers at fully
the rates of last week, and in some instances is to 25 per
quarter advance was paid. Very little good foreign
wheat on offer, granaried parcels being held for a more
decided advance than buyers are just now willing to
comply with; all sorts are a good shilling dearer. The
demand for malting barley, whether English or foreign,
is exceedingly inactive, while for grinding qualities it it
exceedingly good, and la more money is obtainable
on the best runs, which are now in small compass. ha
oats transactions are only moderate. Beans, if in good.
condition, meet an improved sale, and there is a some-
what better demand for good grinding peas. Linseed is
again is dearer, and cakes are not so easy to buy. With
additional arrivals of rape cakes the market is not so
good to manage, yet our quotation is firmly demanded. ,
