01 this day's market it may be remarked that the prices asked

The demand for B. P. Sugar co tinues limited, and the sales

yellow descriptions, of which the sales, amounting to 1,,000

CORN EXCHANGE, JAN. 13

The arrivals since our report of the 6th instant, com-
prise a fair quantity of Wheat and Flour, with a moderate
supply of Oats and Oatmeal from Ireland; the receipts
Coastwise, however, are still very trivial; whilst from the
Mediterranean and American States, the imports of the
week form collectively a tolerably good accession, as will
be observed on reference to the list subjoined.
There was.a moderate attendance at this day's market,
wheats declined about 3,1 per 70Ibs from this day we, k, at

which reductio❑ necessitous buyers took to a fair extent,
but all other articles were exceedingly dull. Flour
at ls., and Oatmeal at 6d. to Is. per sack decline from
last Tuesday's currency. A cargo Lair Stettin Wheat sold
at 7s. 3d. per 70 lbs. in bond, and States Flour is offered
at 28s. to 28s. 6d. per barrel under lock.

CORN EXCHANGE, JANUARY
16.

The duty on foreign Beans has advanced to 3s, 61., and on
Peas to is ed, per quarter, remaining unvaried on all other
articles.

During the last three days the arrivals of Grain, Flour and
Oatmeal, both coastwise and from Ireland, are extremely small
but we have a good supply 01 Wheat and several cargoes of
Beans from Europe; while of Slates Flour the supply is fol-
lowed up this wee in limited quantity only, and there are no
fresh im ions of Canadian produce.

Since Tuesday the trade has been in a very languid state
generally, and at our market this morning business in any ar-
ticle was almost wholly suspended ; for, although in many in.
stances the stocks of the millers and dealers are very neon
tolerable, they still appear determined to wait until the inten-
tions of parliament are explicitly declared.
Meanwhile, with the exception of Oa's, which, continuing
extrea ely scarce, uphold late prices, rather lower rates would
have been accepted, had sales beyond a tneze.y retail amount
been practicable.
Under these circumstances, therefore, notwithstanding any
precisely accurate quot.tions can scarcely he formed, we may
observe that Wheat of al. descriptions aas offered Id. per ;..lb..
Barley and Malt :s. per quatter, lush and Canadian Flour Is.
per sack and Is. der bari el, under the currency of Tuesday last
with very little effect; and Beans, Peas, ann Oatmeal we. e :he
turn cheaper.
The only transactions reported the bonded market consist
of 500 barrels of States Flour at 288., and a parcel of American
Wheat, the price of which whs not allowed to transpire.
