CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY
:
Notwithstanding that the supply of English Wicheisli;
on sale in to-day's market was very limited, coast 0
as well as by land carriage, the demand for that grate
ruled excessively heavy, and Monday's
almost nominal. The imports of Foreign Wheat'hisre
amounted to 4.760 quarters. Good dry qualities we
mostly held at fully previous rates, but the middling ande
inferior kinds were somewhat lower to Web° .
Although the supply of Barley continues to fall off, 0,1
little business was doing in it. The Malt trade role
tolerably steady, but we have no change to notice lot",
the prices et
quotations. We had a firm sale for Oats,
which had an upward tendency. Beans, Peas) Ifillii
Prices eye
Corn, and Flour were very dull!.
