CORN EXCHANGE. MARK-LANE, SEPT. 1.
There was again a very large arrival of Wheat, Brans, and
Flour last week ; not many Oats, and but moderate quantities of
other descriptions of Corn. This morning the freak supplies at
market are only moderate. The weather is now very fine, au&
our millers,in consequence, make very few purchases of Wheat ;
so that the prices of old Wheat hardly equal last Monday's cur-
rency, and new samples come so damp that they are sold at Sts.
pee quarter less than this day se'nnight. Barley is dull in sale,
but the prices are unaltered. Boiling Peas hardly maintain List
imitations. Grey Peas find buyers on the same twos as this
day se'nnight. Although the supply of Oats is rather short, yet
our buyers are unwilling to purchase much at the mate advance
in price • there is, therefore, not much doing at pnt in the -
trade, and last week's prices were only obtained for the primest
samples. The Flour trade is exceedingly
