CORN EXCHANGE, DECEMBER 29.

Upon Foreign Wheat the duty has again advanced to 20s per
qr , and on Flour to l'2s id per barrel, the highest point for
each , 'on Foreign Peas to lOs 6d, Colonial Beans to Its, and
Psase is 6.1 per qr,
The undermentioned imports includ- the arrivals of five days,
and are moderate of Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland, but
limited only of ether articles thence, and those Coastwise are
scarcely worth naming ; the supply from abroad c, nsists chiefly
of 6361 barrels of Flour, from the United States and Canada;
also 1415 qrs. Wheat and 61S qrs. of tease from the latter
source, and S6O qrs. Wheat, with 150 qrs. Beans from Egypt.
During the past two days we have nettling of interest to re-
port in the trade, which has ruled tolerably steady, but with a
very trifling business transacting in any department of it.
At our Corn Exchange this morning, prime Irish new Wheat,
upon a limited supply, was in moderate request at an improve-
ment of ld per 7 lb, and other qualities of Irish were held on
quite as high terms as before ; hut, in the value of English, or
in any description of Foreign, we have no variation whatever
to note, nor any sales beyond a retail amount for immdiate con-
sumption. Home made and Irish Flour continued to meet a
fair demand, and select marks, in a few instances rather ex-
ceeded our last quotations; in Foreign, however, no sales were
reported, and the best Canadian cannot now be rated over 30s
per barrel.
Barley. Malt, Beans and Pcas, appeared to command very
little notice today, and each merely sustained our last cur-
currency.
Oats, coming forward very sparingly, superior qualities in
small parcels, realised a slight amendment upon late prices. Of
Oatmeal, in the absence of. coantry dealers, and holders still
refusing to accept the terms of spectaative buyers, no sales of
moment were effected, and our last quotations barely main-
tained.
