During the last seven days we have had very trivial arrivals of
all descriptions of British Grain, as well as of Flour and Onneal ;
and the week's imports from abroad do not exceed 4,1u0 quarters
of Wheat, 7,700 barrels of Flour from the United States, with 2,000
barrels from Canada. From the 29th ult. to the 2d instant inclusive,
duties were paid upon 1,720 garters of Wheat, 465 quarters of Oats,
2,536 quarters of Peas, and 1,330 barrels of Flour. Yesterday the
rate of impost on Wheat was reduced to 2s Bd, on Oats to Is pd per
quarter, and on Flour to is 7id per barrel, at which the stocks of
each in bond will be released, and may, therefore, be considered
on the free market. In anticipation of this holders of Foreign
Wheat and Flour, in bond, were on Tuesday, offering their samples
at 6d a bushel and 2s per barrel below previous rates, free, for de-
livery on or after Friday, but the dealers showed no inclination to
purchase to any extent. The trade continued languid until yester-
day, when a moderately fair business was transacted, both in Wheat
and Flour, at the above-stated reduction from the quotations 01
this day week. Oats and Oatmeal have met a rey limited demand,
and are fully ad per bushel and as per load cheaper : 30s per 24011,s
is now an extreme for Irish old Oatmeal, 3s pci per 451bs for Oats.
A few Irish new Oats have appeared, the quality very good, and
have sold at 3s led to 4s per 451bs, and two or three small parcels
of new Oatmeal at 38s per load. Harley has been little inquired for,
and must be quoted 3d to 4d per bushel lower. Beans and Peas
without alteration.
