CORN EXCHANGE.

Notwithstanding that the supply of English wheat bete,
to-day, was very moderate, we have to report an exceed
ingly dull trade for all kinds ; indeed so few transactiono
took place that prices were almost nom'nal. To bail
forced sales, 2s. per quarter less money must have beeU

The imports of foreign wheat are nearly 13,000 quarter°.
That article was dull in the extreme, and lower to pur•
chase. Floating cargoes were dull.
Bailey and malt sold slowly, yet prices were well or
ported.
Good sound oats were in moderate request, at Monds9
currency; but heated samples were quite 6d per quarter
lower.

In the value of beans and peas no change took 000;
but nearly all kinds of flour were very dull and droop10B•
