CORN EXCHANGE.

Coastwise and by land carriage only a limited supply of
English wheat Game to hand to-day; hence the show of
samples was very moderate, but in improved condition.
The attendance of buyers was far from numerous, yet the
demand for most kinds of wheat of home produce ruled
steady, at quite Monday's currency.
We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat. Fine dry
parcels were held for more money, and the value of other
qualities was well supported. Floating cargoes of grain
maintained their previous value. •
The few samples of fine mAlting barley on the stands
sold readily, at extreme rates. Grinding and distilling
sorts were dull, but not cheaper.

New malt moved off steadily ; old qualities heavily, at
late quotations.

There was a good consumptive demand for oats, at
extreme. rates ; but both beans and peas were a slow sale.
The flour trade was healthy, on former terms.

Cour Henri 111. every accommodation has been pro-
vided for ninety 'horses, with coach-houses, a riding
school and every necessary dependence. The stables
are arranged on the most
,approved system, and
all the fixtures and fittings are both ornamented
and perfectly adapted to their purpose. The parti-
tions of the stalls are carved oak, the racks bronze, the
mangers marble, and the chains steel. The columns are
covered with a new kind of stucco, equal to marble for
smoothness and polish. In the Cour Henri 111. there is
an iron staircase, of a very gentle slope, by which the horses
go up to the riding-school, situated on a level with the
picture gallery.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Pule
is about 1 d, and the short exchange on London is 25.11,
per LI sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng-
lish Mint price of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard
gold, it appears that gold is at about 2-10ths per cent. dearer
in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the
price of gold is 423 per mark, and the slick exchange on
London is 13.31 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the
English Mint price is therefore about 2-10ths per
eent, dearer in Hamburg than in London.
