CORN-EXCEILANDE.
The arrivals of English Wheat for our market during the
whole of last week were on a very moderate scale, though
of somewhat improved quility. The imports ot all kinds of
foreign Grain, as well as the receipts of Oats from Ireland,
were, the time of year considered, limited. Fresh up, very
little Vheat reached us, either by lane-carriage or sample,
yet the show of English parcels=many of which were on
offer this day se'nnigbt—was on the whole, rather extensive.
The rumours in circulation to the effect that an alteration in
the present corn-laws is in contemplation had a most ex-
traordinary effect upon the demand for Wheat of home pro-
duce. The attendance of both town and country buyers was
large, yet the uncertainty which the above rumour pro-
duced, caused tham to act with considerable caution. In
some instances the holders demanded—though they did not
obtain—an advance in the quotations of English Wheat of
from 2s to 3s per quarter; others, on the contrary, were dis-
posed to sell at that amount of depression. Hence it will
be observed we had much difficulty in ascertaining the exact
state of the trade. However, we may observe that the finest
qualities (though the trade must be called a dull one) were,
in most instances, disposed of at prices about equal to those
obtained on this day se'nnight ; but the middling and in-
ferior kinds must be considered from is to 2s per quarter
cheaper than on that day. At the close of business a portion
of the supply remained unsold. The show of free Foreign
Wheat was not largo, yet the causes before-mentioned ope-
rated Upon the sale for that article. The best parcels we: e,
however, held at full prices; but other kinds might have
been purchased on somewhat easier terms—say of is per
ceiarter. Holders of Bonded Wheats were extravagant in
their demands—many of them refusing to sell except at 4s
to 5s per quarter more money. So few were the trans--
netlons, that the quotations were almost nominal.
The supply of English Barley was somewhat on the increase,
but that of foreign was small. For the best malting and
grinding sorts, the sale was very steady, at fully, but at
nothing, quotable beyond last week's currencies. In other
descriptions, exceedingly little was doing, yet the prices
were supported. We had a fair retail inquiry for Malt,
especially for pale, and previous rates were maintained
in every instance, still a clearance. notwithstanding the supply
was comparatively small, was not effected. Last week, only
about 8,000 quarters of Oats came to hand from Ireland.
Since the return was made up, nine vessels (all reported this
morning) have come in from Dublin, Waterford, and Cork,
yet the show of samples of that article was small, and
I unusually high prices were demanded. The Oat trade
must be considered firm, and in some transactions
an improvement in the prices paid en Monday.
last of from 6d to is per quarter, at which nearly the whole
found buyers.: In Bonded Oats several sales were concluded
at higher prices, owing to the decline in the duty. We had
a fair average quantity of Beans in the market, while the
sale for them was steady, at very full prices. Although the
priz*e of Peas was on the increase, a large business was doing,
and the quotations had an upward tendency. Peas under
lock is to 2s dearer. The Flour trade was rather dull ; ne-
vertheless the late advance in the quotations was main-
tained. In Seeds, particularly in Canary, Rapeseed, and Lin-
seed, a good businees was doing, at rather more money.
