CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, Faa.-20.
The demand for all descriptions of Grain was very trifling this
morning ; but what sales were effected, of fine dry Wheat, were at
Monday's currency. The Barley trade was not bri,k, still the
priers of last market-day were supported. Oats continue a mere
drug on the market, the supply Ilona Ireland (1 4400 qrs.) being
large, and none but fine fresh Corn easy obtain our last (protation.
MAR YESTERDAY.-10 the colonial mackze.s there
was a great deal of business dune at an advance in the currency.—
In silks there was an 'advance of full five per cent. upon the last
India-house Elle.- For strong rams the dempocl was very extensive,
and full prices are readily obtained. Jannricas and Leewnrds are a
shade lower. Old brandy recently imported continues to be much
sought after. In wines there is a great deli of steady business
doing, particularly is fine qtrallries, but without any variatsou in
prices.
