CORN EXCHANGE, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18,

The week's supplies of Wheat are 2,737 qrs. from Ireland,
11,508 from London, and 1,850 from Europe, with 7,429
sacks and 1,302 barrels of Flour. Up to Saturday there had
been little activity in the trade, at lower prices for every
article; but the account received that day of some of the
Mediterranean ports being closed for the exportation of
Wheat, has caused more firmness, and at to-day's market
there was a free sale for Foreign Wheats at 4d. per 701bs.
above the rates of Friday, and 2d. above the value of this
day week ; the best red, 11s. Gd. to 12s. per 701bs.
We had a moderate sale for Oats at 2d. advance, and for
Oatmeal, at Gd. above last Tuesday's prices.
We have no improvement in the demand for Irish Flour;
foreign has been sold at Is. advance.

The week's supply of Butter is 14,303 firkins; there has
been but a limited business transacted; holders are nut dis-
posed to accept lower prices for the best sorts.
