CORN EXCHANGE.
Very moderate supplies of English wheat —2,050 qusr-
ters —have arrived coastwise this week. Flesh up to-day
the receipts by land carriage wore small, and the show of
sampleA of both red and white was limited. For t.-.ost
kinds we had a steady demand, an,l, in some instances,
prices were the turn higher than on Monday.
Foreign wheat, the ..upply of which was by no means
extcn,ive, was stewly, but the business doing in it was
very moderate, at Monday's quotations.
There was a firm demand for barley, and the quotations
had an upward tendency. Malt was firm, but not dearar.
Oats solki slowly at late rates, but beans, pons, and flour
commanded very full prices.
