The transactions going forward in the market,
since our previous report, are limited, and there
Is not any bouyancy in the trade. The market
held on the 18th, was well attended, and there
was fair demand for wheat at the advanced
rates of the 9th. In Indian corn meal there was
very little doing. On the opening OF the market
the advanced prices of the 9th were generally de-
manded for -four, but the sale wac slow, and be-
fore the close rather less money was taken 36s.
Cd. was established for Western Canal being ls.
per Dbl. above the currency of that day week.
On the 18th there was a good attendance OF
country millers directing their enquiries partly
70 good qualities English and foreign wheat,
and holders generally submitted to decline OF
pence per 20 pounds from the rates OF the
l4th. A tolerable amount of business was trans
acted at that abatement.
Flour, on the contrary, was in more limited de-
mand than usual, although willingly offered by
holders at fully two shilings per Dbl. below last
Tuesdays rates; Western brands scarcely ex-
ceeding 81 shillings to 4s. 3D.; other sorts at
trivial reduction. Since the 10th little business
has been transacted, and top price of the best
Western Canal -four is quoted at 34s. Indian
corn, of the finest quality, is not worth more
than 4Os. per quarter, and Indian meal 1913 to los
I'D per barrel, al which prices the sale is very
dull, even at these reduced rates
