The duty on foreign Wheat has advanced this week to 17s,
that on Oats to 65., on Beans to 4s. 6d., on Pease to 25. 6d. per
quarter, and on Flour togs. ;id. per barrel : at the same time
the rates on Canadian Oats and Meal, as well as on other
British Colon' al Wheat, Oats, and Flour has advanced a step ;
but, with the prospect of an immediate change in the law, the
various alterations of duty may now be considered a nominal
feature in the trade.

The fresh arrivals coastwise and from Ireland have been on
the whole very trivial since the beginning of the week ; whilst
several cargoes of Foreign Wheat and Beans are at hand, be-
sides 21,Si s barrels Flour from the United States; but nothing
more from Canada.

In the past two days we have had somewhat more steadiness
in the trade, resulting from partial inquiries for bonded W heat
and Flour, several parcels of which have changed hands, but
the demand for free stuff has shown no decided improvement.
The speeches delivered last night in the House of Commons,
in favour of a more unrestricted importation of Foreign Grain
into this country, have completely confused and unsettled the
trade at our market to-day; the transactions in any kind of free
Wheat were consequently upon a very limited scale to needy
buyers alone, and at a decline of Id. to 2d. per 701 b. from our
last quotations. Irish Flour, of which a few parcels were sold
for immediate use, remained unaltered in value: Canadian,
however, appeared to meet little notice, and was the turn
cheaper.
In Barley, Malt, Beans and Pease, scarcely any business was
perceptible, and each hardly maintained late prices. Indian
Corn, of which some quantity will probably be wanted for Irish
consumption, was held on the first terms last nuted.
Oats, continuing very scarce, supported previous rates;. but
the country dealers, supplying their requirements, chiefly direct
from the growers, very few are wanted here at present. Oat-
meal difficult of sale, and rather depressed in value.

Bonded Wheat and Flour, influenced by the, altered prospect
of the Foreign trade, were held on somewhat higher terms,
which, checking the demand, no further sales were apparent.
