The arrivals of all descriptions of Corn last week were good, but
this morning there is not much Grain fresh up, owing to the hula•
terous and contrary winds. Prime dry samples o! Wheat have
rather exceeded the terms of last Monday, but other qualities sell
heavily. In Barley there has been but little doing, and the article
loudly supports the prices last quoted. Beans find sale on much
the same terms as this day se'tinight. Boiling and White Peas are
dull. Grey Peas fully support the rates of lost week. There are
a good quantity of Oats for and the prices have given wa) a
little, so that mow qnalities can be purchased at is. per quartet less
than this day sennight, The Flour trade continues very dull.
