CORN EXCHANGE.

Although the show of English wheat in to-day's market
was moderate, the demand for most kinds was in a slug•
gish state, at Monday's decline in value. The condition
of the samples was very middling. _

Old foreign wheats were mostly held at previous rates,
but new qualities moved off heavily.
There was very little business doing in floating cargoes.
Fine barley sold at full prices; but all other kinds were
heavy, at the late fall in value.
There was a slow sale for malt, yet prices were sup-
ported.
We had rather an improved feeling in the oat trade, A
previous rates.
Beans, peas, and flour were dull, but not cheaper.
