CORN EXCHANGE.

We had only a moderate show of samples of English
wheat in to-day's market. Owing to the continuance of
showery weather factors generally were firm in their de-
mands, but for the most part millers purchased cautiously
ate Is to 2s per qr. beneath last week's quotations.
There was only a limited inquiry for foreign wheat ;
nevertheless, compared with Monday, no change took
place in prices. The fresh imports are 12,740 qrs.

Floating cargoes of grain supported previous currencies.
Barley, both English and foreign, moved off slowly, yet
the currencies were supported.
Fine malt sold steadily, other kinds slowly, at late rates.
We were heavily supplied with oats, which moved off
slowly on easier terms.
Beans and peas were steady in prico, but flour was a dull
inquiry.

The Duke of SOMERSET said that of all the anchors he
had ever heard of, Trotman's hold with a tenacity above
all others in the lobby of the House of Commons. He
found by a report then before him that Trotman's anchor
was an improvement upon Procter's, but both were on the
same principle which had been condemned by the majority
on board ship. According to the opinions of nautical men
there was gi eat uncertainty about anchors on Trotman's
principle holding tile ground, and such being
the case' he thought it a very great objection.
The preceding Board of Admiralty were as much
to blame as the present, if blame was to rest
anywhere, for the anchor referred to not being more
generally used.. He had been informed that during
some very severe weather the whole of the ships
having the Admiralty anchor rode out in safety, not one
having what was technically termed " dragged." The
merchant service had not fared so well, and he
believed they generally adopted Trotman's anchor. He
would not say that in the gale he referred to that the whole
of the merchantmen that broke away adopted Trotman's
anchor; that he could not be certain about. It seemed to
be the plan of all inventors now to convince the different
members of the other house to advocate their inventions,
and thus the House of Commons was made a large
advertising van. He had himself asked many
naval men their opinion of Trotman's anchor,
and they said it was a very good one to put away in the
hold, as it took up so little room—(laughter)—but that,
according to his view, was not exactly the use for
which anchors were intended, The late Board of Ad-
miralty refused to patronise- the anchor of Mr. Trotman
because the naval profession did not think very highly
of it. He thought it was a question that ought to be left
to the naval profession, and ho felt satisfied that a fair trial
would be given to Trotman's anchor.
The Earl of HARDWICKE thought the answer of the
noble duke unsatisfactory. He talked about Trotman's
anchor receiving' a fair trial, but they had been
already tried, and that most extensively, and at
great cost, and had come out supreme. The nobie
duke did not seem to think very highly of Mr. Trotman's
invention, but he put it to him if it was right, in his own
opinion, the safety of the Queen of England ought to be
left to an unsafe anchor. If the anchor of the Royal yacht
was such as the noble duke seemed to think, he did hope
that it would be instantly removed from the vessel and one
of the Admiralty pattern supplied. He did not think
Captain Denman was of the same opinion as the noble duke
opposite.
The subject then dropped.
