CORN EXCHANGE.

The following is the Corn Exchange report for the week ending Friday, September 20th, 1888 :— FocUttiea for the transport of grain being scarce the amount of bunineas done hfao not been «o large as w»a anticipated. Buyers of wheat and oats shew confidence m the rising market by purchasing fceely at our quotations. The slight decrease io home values haa not materially affected this market, the feeling evidently being that it ia only temporary. Intercolonial pr'cß are at preßont encouraging buyers to tike the rick of any Blight fall m London. Qaotatiooe, as below, are fully maintained. Wheat— Prime Tuscan, 3a 6d to 3i 7d j pearl, 3i 6d ; hunters, 3a 61 ; chickwheat, 2»2d to 2b 6i. | Oats firm at 2i to 2i 2J, for prime milling ; bright short feed, 2i to 2i Id ; discolored, la 10 i to Is lid. Beans and PfiAS.are m a little batter request at 2i 7d to 2s 9d for the former, tnd 2b 3d to 2j 7d for the litter, Prneelan Bines, true to name, balng worth about 2J more. Grass Seed quiet at our last quotations; heavy perennial is most enquired for. Potatoes— Nothing of much consequence haa transpired m this lino. Facmorß hold out for the prices quoted last week. The difficulty m obtaining freights Interferes with sales. Dairy Produce— Bayerß do not feel inclined to operate largely m view of large supplies coming to hand ai spring advances; quotations are, therefore, difficult to fix, but may be taken at our former rates. The above prlcos are those paid to farmers for delivery f.o b, saok extra.
