CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 17.

Upon all produce, Colonial as well as Foreign, the duties still
remain unaltered.

In place of the usual supplies of Grain Coastwise and from
Ireland, which appear to have nearly ceased for the present, we
are beginning to receive considerable imports of Wheat from
abroad, upwards of 14,000 qrs. having arrived from the Baltic
since Monday, besides several cargoes n t reported; exclusive,
however, of 11,010 qrs. Egyptian Barley the quantity of other
Corn is light, and we have no Flour in from' Foreign Countries,
less than idea sacks of that article from Ireland, and no Oat-
meal whatever fresh in for to-clay.
The general bearings of the Corn trade here, from our last
market to the close of yesterday presented no features of a
lively character, but rather the reverse ; and the accounts re-
ceived from other sources during that period, imparting no im-
pulse to our proceedings : the transactions altogether were un-
important, and the currency of Tuesday little more than nominal.
An unusually slender attendance of buyers at our Corn-
Exchange to-day, and a decided determination on the part of
millers to remain inactive, rendered all descriptions of Wheat
extremely difficult to sell, and had offers been made, it is pro-
bable, in the face of the present large importations, somewhat
easier terms would have been generally conceded. Flour, indis-
criminately was equally dull, but the holders, being disinclined
to recede, prices remained stationary.
Barley, attended with a very limited inquiry, may be deemed
the turn cheaper; Malt, on the contrary, was in moderate re-
quest, and steadily maintained our last quotations.
Beans and Pease, although restricted to a slow ietail nemand,
appeared to sustain the rates previously noted.
Oats, notwithstanding the very short supply at hand, were•
little noticed and rather depressed in value. Oatmeal likewise,
in the absence of country dealers, scarcely supported former
prices.

We had a slight shower or two this morning, and the weather
is still rather cloudy, but does not indicate much appearance of
rain.
