A considerhble number of foreign vessels having entered the
port since Friday, we have to note a.large supply of Wheat and
Indian Corn from the United States and Europe, with a mode-
rate quantity of other grain, and upwards of 101,000 barrels of
Flour, whilst of English and Irish produce the arrivals for the
week are still unimportant.
Having a good attendance of home and country millers at
our Corn Exchange to-day, and the holders of Foreign Wheat
readily submitting to a decline of 3d. to 4d., and for some de-
scriptions 6d. per 701 b. from the current rates of this day week,
a moderate, but in no wise a lively business was transacted at
the abatement.—Of farmers' new Wheat several parcels ap-
peared of fair quality, for which 7s. 6d. to Bs. was required, and
one small lot of good Irish realized is. 3d. Prime fresh brands
of American Flour, continuing to meet a good demand, fully
supported the above-named advance. of Friday, at which the
sales 'were tolerably extensive, the stale and inferior kinds, of
which the bulk remaining here consists, being still in very
limited request at late prices.—lrish Flour, in the absence of
supply, may be considered nominal in value.
Barley, though taken more freely for grinding, was 3d. to 4d.
per 601 b., and Malt 2s. per quarter cheaper.—Beans and Pease,
upon a limited inquiry, remained unvaried.—The Oat trade
being dull, prices of old receded 4d. to sd. per 451 b., and for a
few parcels of good Irish new 3s. 6d. was scarcely obtainable;
Oatmeal was also difficult to sell at our quotations.
The lower qualities of •Indian Corn, moving off readily for
feeding, commanded 2s. per quarter over the terms of last week,
the best samples, however, though more saleable, were not
dearer.

The weather continuing exceedingly fine, harvest is progress-
ing with extraordinary activity, and the prospect of a favoura-
ble termination.

CORN EXCHANGE, Am. 27.
We continue to receive good supplies of Foreign Wheat, In-
dian Corn, and Flour, the great bulk of the last-named article
being, as usual, from the United States, whilst the arrivals
Coastwise and from Ireland are light; as the Irish markets,
however, will shortly begin to be filled with new Grain, we may
expect them to increase weekly.
During the past two days we had less activity in the demand
for Flour, which, together with other articles of the trade,
barely supported late prices.
Although, generally speaking, all speculative feeling has sub-
sided for the present, the Wheat trade this morning assumed a
rather tirmer aspect, the sales to consumers having been to a
moderately fair extent, and prices fully equal to the current
rates of Tuesday. Superior brands of American Flour, war-
ranted sweet, though not so free a sale of late, continued also
to maintain the above quotations, the stale and all doubtful
qualities, during the day, moving slowly at a decline of Is. per
barrel.

Barley, upon a limited demand, was the turn cheaper, and
malt received 2s. to 3s. per quarter. Beans difficult of sale on
the terms last noted • and Pease, being scarcely noticed, were
nominal in value. Old Oats, both Irish and Foreign, met little
inquiry at an abatement of 2d. per 451b5., and Irish new, though
of inequality. were rather depressed in value.
With somewhat more inquiry for Ireland, the best descrip-
tions of Indian Coni fully realised previous rates, and feeding
parcels were in good request at Is. per 480 lbs. advance.
