CORN EXCHANGE. MAY 3.

The averages of this week show no . change in the duties on
any grain except Rye, advanced on Foreign to lOs 6d, and on
CPlunial to Is 6d per quarter.
Since the early part of the week owing in some measure to
contrary wines, the arrivals of Grain. Flour and Oatmeal into
this port. Coastwise and from Ireland, have been smal , and
from abr ad we have none whatever to notice to-, ay. Upon
the whole, during the intervening p. rind from Tuesday last and
up to this date, the Corn trade in general has exhibited a tole-
ratde degree of stability here; and although as regards Wheat
and other-leading articles the transactions have not much ex-
ceeded the usual retail demand, a better.-sale has been ex-
perienced for English and Irish Flour, and good fresh qualities
of both superfine and households have commanded full prices.
,Having but few country millers at our Corn Exchange this
morning, and our local dealers being by no means act ive, the
sales of Wheat in general were upon a very mo ierate scale
only; holders nevertheless appeared to entertain a firmer feel-
ing, and all descri Lions of this grain fully maintained the cur-
rent rates of Tuesday.—Flour of all k ids attracting more at-
tention than of late, English and Ir.sh realised 6d per sack, and
Foreign, duty paid, 6d per barrel above the term - last noted.
The working season being nearly over, malting Barley was
little noticed, and grinding samples were in. • low request at
(Omer prices. Malt and Pease upon a moderate inquiry. ap-
peared steady in value; and Beans, moving off rather freely,
were the turn tearer.

Oats, being very sc irce. few sales were effected, and those
st.an advance of id per 451 b. Oatmeal likewise, thouirh tike
sparingly into consumption, obtained an amendment of 3d per
24 lb.

The only transactions reported in bond, comprise about 50 0
qrs of Egyptian Beans at 17s 6d per quarter of 4801 b: ; and
20( o barrels of States Flour, of various qualities, partly New
Orleans, at 2ls per barrel.
