wheat was in brisk demand and advanced Cd
on Wednesday, but further advance was
successfully resisted. On Friday the demand
was slower. but holders were firm. English
and foreign flour was scarce and very firm
throughout the week. Barley was very quiet
There was an improved demand early in the
week for barley afloat but the market was
easier at the close. Oats improved shilling
and closed firm, Maize, mixed American,
sold steadily ex.ship at an advance of Sd on
Mondays rates. Round corn quiet, and closed
rather easier. Maize, on passage, advanced
Cd early in the week, was again slightly dearer
on Wednesday, and slightly relapsed on Fri
day, but closed strong. Wheat cargoes were
3d@6d dearer for red winter early in the week
in consequence of reduced stocks and deten-
tion of vessels on the passage. All descrip-
tions were firm until Thursday, when they
became quieter, in sympathy with American
market. On Friday red winter was 3d@6d
