CORN EXCHANGE.

The following is the Corn Exchange report for the week ending Friday evening, the 18th June, 1880. • The dullness which has characterised the grain trade almost from its commencement has, during the week that has elapsed, been more palpable. The business that is being done is what may be termed a hand to mouth one. Buyers are still to be found for large lines of produce, but the quality must be unexceptionable. The recent favorable accounts of consignments of oats to the United Kingdom has caused a better inquiry for milling samples, although prices are not as yet sensibly affected. It is reported that several applications for space have been made in order further to test the practicability of making a staple export of this cereal. Wheat. —Large lines of really good milling samples will meet with buyers at from 3_a lid to 3s 7d, f.o b. Second quality milling is in good supply, with a fair demand, at from 3s to 3s 3d, f.o.b. Chick wheat also is in large supply, and is being offered at very low figures, viz., from Is 9d to 2a 4d per bushel. Oats—lnquiries are on foot for good heavy milling samples, suitable for shipment, at from Is 4d to la 5d £ o.b. per bushel. Feeding qualities are passing into consumption at from Is to Is 3d per bushel; inferior feed samples, 9d to lid per bushel. Barley—A rather better demand is apparent for parcels of undeniable malting quality ; for such 3s to 3s 4d per bushel is obtainable; secondrate malting, 2s to 2s 6d; discolored and inferior are almost unsaleable. Potatoes are being more enquired for, but prices are unaltered. For immediate delivery. 25s to 26s per ton is given; for forward delivery, 35s to 36s per ton; sacks extra in both cases. Grass Seed—No business doing at present and prices nominal. Cheese and Bnfcter—Quotations are unaltered: 4d to 41d for the former, 9d to lOd for the latter.
