CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 21

Continuing to have an expansive demand from various parts
of this country and Ireland, we have experienced a good steady
business generally throughout the trade since our report of
Tuesday; especially as regards Indian Corn, the finest quali-
ties of white attaining nearly 708. per 4801b5., and all other
articles, up to this date, firmly supporting the terms last noted.
We have but few arrivals of Grain produce to report into this
place since Monday, except Indian Corn of which we have a
tolerably good supply.
Although more country buyers attended our Corn Exchange
to-day than is usual on Fridays, yet, owing to the present fine
weather, and the greatly improved appearance of all the coming
crops, the sales of Wheat were generally very limited in amount,
and all descriptions receded 2d. per 701bs. below our last quo-
tations.—Flour also, being taken less freely than heretofore, a
decline of Is. was conceeded, prime Western brands not ex-
ceeding 485., and the lower kinds 465. to 475. per barrel.
Barley was in moderate request at late prices; and Malt,
Basins, and Pease remained unvaried.—Oats being more diffi-
cult of sale were the turn cheaper; Oatmeal, notwithstanding,
was held on rather higher terms.
Indian Corn, continuing to meet a good inquiry, fully sup-
ported previous rates, and Indian Meal remained steady in
value.
