CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 28.
Exclusive of a few slight shoWers, we have had no rain here
since Monday last, and spring ctilture is again partially in
progress ; but the weather being still very cold, vegetation is
extremely backward, and although a late spring succeeded by
a fine summer is frequently the most certain for the crops,
some parties begin to augur unfavourably on the subject.
From Tuesday's market to the close of yesterday, no busi-
ness of sufficient magnitude occurred to alter the position of
the trade here in anywise materially different from that stated
in our last circular: every article, however, was held with
unabated firmness, and influenced by the steadiness reported
in most other leading markets, our lust quotations were gene-
rally maintained.
The arrivals of Grain into this place since Monday last have
continued to come forward very sparingly from Ireland, as
well as coastwise and from abroad, except Indian Corn and
Oatmeal, of which we have a further good supply. Hitherto
we have received little produce comparatively from the Baltic,
and the prohibition to German vessels passing the Sound will
probably limit our imports thence for some time to come:
America, however, will shortly he enabled to export largely to
England, provided our prices offer sufficient inducement:
meanwhile we may remark, that the stocks in granary here
are, on the whole, rather inconsiderable, and will require to
be extensively augmented before harvest.
At our Corn Exchange this morning, Wheats of prime qua-
lity realised a slight improvement in value, and all other de-
scriptions, including English, Irish, and foreign, sustained our
last quotations, with just a moderate but not a free demand.
Flour, meeting ratlwr less attention than at an earlier period
of the week, merely supported late prices.
Malting Barley commanded former rates, .and Grinding
samples, being less plentiful, were the turn dearer: for Malt,
also, rather higher terms were required.—ln English or Euro.
pean Beans little business was apparent, but Egyptians still
attracting the attention of buyers, each maintained our last
currency.—Pease difficult of sale at the decline previously
noted.—Oats continuing in fair request, good well-prepared
Mealing parcels obtained Id. per 451 b. over Tuesday's advance.
Oatmeal, at the same time, meeting very little notice, was
rather depressed in value.
The buyers of Indian Corn having delayed their purchases
until this morning, caused an active inquiry, and a fairamount
of business resulted at the full prices of Tuesday, the tine qua-
lities
of Mediterranean having become exceedingly scarce.—
Corn Meal, upon a limited demand, was still held at 125. to
12s. fid. per barrel.
