In consequence of the scarcity of fine dry English white Wheat,
it would fetch more money. but this improvement does not apply
to any other sorts. The sale of free foreign is exceedingly heavy,
but prices remain the same, and we hear of no transactions in
bonded Wheat. Barley sells, on the same terms as on Monday,
and our quotations are supported for Peas and Beans. The Oat
trade continues in the same depressed state. The Clover-seed
market is exceedingly flat, and an increased desire evinced ley the
holders to press sales. Arrivals this week.—English, Wheat. 2010
