CORN EXCHANGE.

The following is the C° rn Exchange report for the week ending Friday, September 16th : — Farmers have had exceptionally fine weather for their spring sowing, and the work is now m a forward state. We anticipate that the holders will shortly be offering the balance of their grain that has been he'd over ; indeed, a few line* of wheat and oats have already found purchasers at fairly satisfactory figures. Freights are reasonable, but Lendon prices do. not leav© any margin for •hippenu Wheat.

Second quality has been sold at 3s 2d to 3s 3d, and broken chicken wheat is quiet at 2s 8d to 2s lOd ; whole at 3s to 3s Id. Oati. — This market has shown a little more life, but we are unable to report any rise, as the quantity offering still exceeds the demand.
