CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 31

- •
The duty on Foreign Barley has advanced this week to 7s,
and receded on Colonial Beans to Is ofid per quarter, previous to
which it is supposed the bulk of the former in this country has
been released from bond; upon all other produce the import
rates continued unvaried.

Besides the arrivals into this port, Coastwise and from Ire-
land since Tuesday, which, taken together are still very limited
in amount ; we have to note a fair supply of Wheat and Pease,
with a few lots of Barley, Beans and Flour from abroad; and
thoggh from the American States or Canada we have nothing
fresh in to-day, tolerably extensive imports of Wheat and Flour
from the latter source are anticipated in the course of June and
the succeeding months of summer.

in consequence of the continued prevalence of dry weather,
the trade here from Tuesday until to-day, exhibited an in-
creased degree of stability, and upon a moderate scale of busi-
ness, the general range of prices, current in the early part of
,the week, was steadily maintained.

Upon a slender attendance only of country millers at our
Corn Exchange to-day, and no desire evinced by our local
dealers to purchase mare than was needful to serve their im-
mediate purposes, the transactions in any description of Eng-
Irisb, or Foreign free Wheat progressed rather more slowly
than was expected ; bat with unbated firmness on the part of
holders, the general rates of Tuesday last were fully sustained.
Home manufactured and Irish Flour, was more saleable and the
turn dearer : whilst States and Canadian continued to meet a
very limited demand on the terms last noted.
Barley. Malt and Pease. upon an improved inqairy, fully sup-
ported late prices; and all sorts of free Beans were in fair re-
quest at a further advance of Is per quarter.
Oats, continuing to command a moderate degree of attention,
retained the advance of Tuesday; and Oatmeal, in limited
sales to consumers,realised a slight amendment in value.

_ _ •
In additicn to the late extensive operations in Egyptian Beans
under lock, several further parcels have been taken again
to-day at 22s per 4801 b. for investment; hut in other articles
either in bond or affoat, no sales have transpired.
