The,small.receipta up to Friday's market have. been mode-
rately increased. since from abroad; the arrivals of the week,
ending yesterday, comprising 8.330 qrs. of Wheat, 1,400 qrs. of
of which are from Egypt, the remainder from the Baltic and
near ports.of the. Continent, with a limited portion of other
Grain thence, and 5,748 sacks of French Flour: the American
States during the same time furnish merely, 2,472 brls. 'of
Flour, and 9,100 qrs. Indian Corn, the export of the latter to
Ireland amounting to 13,111 qrs. ; whilst the supplies of English
and Irish produce continue light.
With a change of wind, the weather to-day is much more
genial than of late, and we have had much less business
doing generally at our market to-day.; speculation, therefore,
has entirely subsided, and the transactions in Wheat have
been only moderate for consumption, the prices ruling with
little variation from the advanced rates of Friday.
The, Floor trade was also less active, but in no respect lower.
Barley was held on rather higher terms. Malt supported
late prices.
Beans the turn dearer. Pease unaltered.
Oats, upon a moderate demand, were Id.klearer.than on this
day week, and Oatmeal fully supported the advance which took
place at the close of the week, the top price to-day being 225.

Indian Corn was 2s. per qr. dearer in the 'course of the week,
but with rather less business doing to-day.

• CORN EXCHANGE, MAT 17.
Although most of the accounts received within the last few
days from various parts of the United Kingdom still complain
of harsh weather, and unusual lateness of the coming crops,
the English markets seem at present less excitable than last
week; and notwithstanding the trade, generally speaking,, is
reported firm, buyers appear rather cautious in following up
the late advance.

In the leading markets of Scotland the prices of most kinds
of grain were quoted higher early in the week, but the trade at
Leith and Glasgow becoming less active on Wednesday, no
further improvement in the value of Wheat was then obtain-
able.

Ireland, from the lamentable diminution of its native pro-
duce, will necessarily remain to a very serious extent depend-
ent for breadstaffsupon extraneous support, and prices rule,
as they now are, relatively higher than in this country until
harvest.

During the interval from Tnesday to the close of yesterday
the trade here has been rather buoyant. In Wheat and Indian
Corn upon the spot, a fair amount of business was transacted
on the full terms last noted, and several cargoes of both, float-
, ing and for shipment hither from abroad, changed hands.
Of Grain, Floer, and Oatmeal,•the supplies-received into this
port since Monday last are altogether perfectly insignificant.
:Influenced by a return of fine mild •weather, and a slender
attendance of country millers. less animation was displayed in
the Wheat trade at our Market this morning than on the pre-
vious days of the week : the operations in any description :of
this grain for consumption, being moderate only, and but a few
parcels taken for investment: holders nevertheless remained
equally firm as before, and the currency of Tuesday therefore
was fully maintained.—Of prime fresh American flour very
little appeared for sale, and such may be considered the turn
dearer; the lower qualities of States, as well as all kinds of
French and Irish, moving slowly at late prices.
Barley and Malt, upon a moderate demand, remained un-
altered in value.—fin the general returns of English and Foreign
Beans we have no.change to note, •wbilst Egyptian were held
steadily at 6d. per qr. advance.—Oats, although liot readily
saleable, slightly improved in value; and Oatmeal was 6d. per
load dearer. - _ _ _

Having no fresh arrivals of Indian Corn, direct from abroad,
and the export to •Ireland amountingito 9,784 qrs. within the
last three days, the demand continued unabated, and this
morning 6d. per qr.-over the annexed quotations was realised.
