Coastwise and from Ireland, since
and beyond 500 quarters of Wheat and
e have no fresh arrivals to report from
ig which, the uninterrupted continu-
ich appears to be very general, is stated
endency in nearly every market of the
e trade here without animation : we
r transactions to note during the inter-
rith little change, however, in the cur-

We have advices from New York to the 18th ultimo : Wheat
and Flour, though reduced in value, still rated too high for
shipment to England, the former being 445. to 48s. per 4801 b,
and the latter 265. 6d. to 275. 6d. per barrel sterling, free on
board,; and though freights continued low and the rate of ex-
change had risen to 11, the loss that would occur on transac-
tions in those articles is evident, whilst Indian Corn showed a
margin for moderate profit upon our late improved quotations-,
In accordance with the foregoing remarks, no lively.symp-
toms were apparent in any department of the trade at our
Market to-day. Upon a very limited demand, Wheat of all
descriptions declined 2d. to 3d. per 701 b. from the current
rates of Tuesday last ; and Flour, being equally difficult of sale;
American receded 6d. per barrel, and Irish, as well as home-
made, 6d. to Is. per sack.
Barley and Malt were held at late prices, at which little
business.—Beans and Pease, being in slow request, were ob-
tainable on rather easier terms. Oats, in the absence of coun-
try buyers, attracted much less attention than heretofore, and
were the turn lower in value; and Oatmeal, influenced by the
same cause, barely sustained our last quotations,
Indian Corni commanded much less notice this morning than
for some time past, and although an abatement of 6d. to is.
per 4801 b. was conceded, few parcels were sold.—Corn Meal
also met little inquiry, and declined 6d. per barrel.
