LONDON CORN EXCHANGE—YESTERDAY.
Our market, this morning, was scantily supplied with Eng
fish Wheat, the condition of the greater proportion of which
was affected by the damp state of the weath,er during the last
two or three days. The few choice samples offering, were
taken off by our millers at an'advance of about Is. per quar-
ter on the quotations of this day se'nnight,. and all inferior
descriptions, though difficult of disposal, firmly maintained
their value. There was not much passing in foreign Wheat,
and the few sales effected of this article were at previous
prices. Flour found purchasers in retail quantities at about
last week's rates. Of Barley the receipts have been very
moderate ; the trade, nevertheless, was by no 'means brisk,
but holders having been firm in their demands, so decline in
the value of the article took place. The fresh arrivals of
Oats, both coastways and from Ireland, were small, in con-
sequence of which factors held for higher prices, and an im-
provement of (id. per quarter was in 'partial instances ob-
tained. Beans and Peas were in short supply, and, quite as
dear as on this day se'nnight.
