The -duty on Wheat has declined to 6s per quarter,

2 quarters of Wheat, 110 quarters of Barley, 917
karters of Malt, 741 quarters of Oats, 360 quarters of
ans 144 quarters of Peas, 251 loads of Oatmeal, and
101(62 sackst of Flour. From Canada there are only 14
acis of Oatmeal, but from foreign ports the imports
amount to 8,829 quarters of Wheat, 2,600 quarters of
,i4nrleY, 470 quarters of Oats, 1,070 quarters of Bean;,
Cov.quarters of Peas, 3,303 quarters of Indian Corti,

th:te was a middling attendance of dealers, and the wea-
TO' being damp, the trade had a much firmer aspect.
