CORN.
The general tendency of the trade continues in the
direction of increasing firmness.
From the country markets quotations are rather firmer,
and in some cases higher.
From abroad rates also came the turn against buyers.
At Mark-lane this morning there was a fair attendance
and a moderate inquiry for the several kinds of produce,
with light supplies and rather a strong tone about prices.
English wheat was held firmly, the better qualities, in
some cases, were rather dearer.

Foreign wheat also well held, with an upward tendency
in the value of best samples.
Flour sold in retail without any material change in
value.

Barley, beans, and peas remain without much change
and firm.

Oats in steady request, and the turn dearer.
Linseed and rapeseed a slow sale, at late rates.
NEWGATE AND LEADENHALL.

POULTRY.—In the poultry trade there is not much change.
Really prime fowls are scarce and dear, while rough are
plentiful, and have to be cleared out at moderate rates.
Pigeons ,have slightly improved in price since the de-
cline in the early part of the week. We quote as
follows :—Fowls, common, 2s Gd to 3s 6d ; Surrey, 4s
to 7s; Irish, is to 9d to 2s ; goslings, 8s to 9s ; ducks, 4s
Gd ; pigeons, 9d to Is ; turkeys, 7s to 14s ; rabbits, tame,
is 6d ; wild, is to 1s 3d.
Wild Fowls in moderate supply and in fair demand.
Ducks 2s to 2s 3d, widgeon is 9d, teal is Gd, woodcocks 3s
6d to 4s each.
