CORN EXCHANGE, MARCH 9.

The improved accounts which left.this side on the 27th Janu-
ary, appear to have given a firmer tone to the New York mar-
ket, from whence we received, on Wednesday, advices to the
19th ultimo ; in Wheat and Flour a good business is reported
for home consumption, with an advance in the value of the lat-
ter, some parcels of which were taken for Great Britain.—ln-
dian Corn in light supply and prices firmly supported

ports of two weeks to 13th aruary :—Wheat, ,
7544 barrels; Indian Corn, 7500 qrs..—The following quota-
tions are sterling f.0.b., and include current freight to Liver-
pool.—Western Canal, 265. 10d.; pure Genessee, 28s. per brl.—
Wheat, white Genessee, 50s. Bd. to 51s. 4d.; White Ohio, 475.
2d. to 48s. 9d. ; Red and mixed, 435. 7d. to 47. 2d. per 4801bs.
Indian Corn, round yellow, 295. 2d. to 295. 9d. ; flat yellow,
28s. ; mixed, 268. 4d. per 4801bs.—Corn Meal, 158. to 15s. 3d.
per barrel.
Although during the last two weeks we have had boisterous
winds and rain occa
`he soil in most sit

for the reception of seed, the labours' of husbandry have pro-
ceeded favourably, and in some districts around us the breadth
of land reserved for spring Wheat is considerable, in order to
finish the large arrears left incomplete at the close of the wet
autum of 1848; whilst upon large tracts of ground in several
of the western counties of Ireland cultivation is seriously neg-
lected, from which it is feared the wants and destitution of that
country will be rather increased than diminished nnother year

The.
last are, in the aggregate, extremely light, ibe most prominent
of which are 11,771 barrels of Flour from the American States
with 1700 quarters of VVI- 940(1 nuarters of P.--

Egypt. -
Upon a very limited attendance of home and country buyers
at our Corn Exchange to-day, and having no lively impulse
from other markets, the trade in nearly all its bearings was de-
void of animation : the transactions in either British or foreign
Wheats were consequently very moderate in amount, and al-
though holders appeared disinclined to press the sale at any
material abatement, a decline of Id. per 701bs. was partially
conceded.—English and Irish Flour, being nearly without in-
quiry, was nominal in value, and States as well as Canadian,
being taken sparingly by consumers, receded M. per brl. ; good
brands of Western Canal not exceeding 255., all other descrip-
tions declining in a proportionate ratio.

—Barley and Malt in all respects remained precisely in the
same position as on Tuesday ; and in Beans or Pease no varia-
tion was apparent.—Oats and Oatmeal, in th^ absence of coun-
try demand, were very difficult of sale, the former giving way
id. per 451 b., the latter being merely the turn cheaper.
Indian Corn, although still in good request for Ireland,
either yellow or white hardly maintained the full rates of Tues-
day; Corn Meal remaining dull at our last currency.
