CORN EXCHANGE.
The arrivals of English Wheat having been very scanP,ri
since our last report, the show of samples was small. Ai
descriptions met a steady demand, at fully Monday's ad-
vanced rates. In foreign Wheat, a fair business was tran-
sacted, and the quotations had an upward tendency. The
Malt trade was somewhat inactive, yet previous rates were
supported. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour were quite
as dear.
