CORN EXCHANGE.

The following is the Corn Exchange rfport for the week ending Thursday, the 22ud instant : There is no change to report in the state of the market during the week that has elapsed. Feeding grains continue to be in good request, and a small advance in values may bs said to have_ been established. Large quantities are passing into consumption solely on account of the cheapness of the article. The weather'for some time past has been all that the farmers could desire. Wheat —Good sound milling quality continues to bo inquired for, but holders appear to be supiue. For this class 3s Sdto 3s Uld per bushel is the market rate. For large lines suitable for shipment a shade over these quotations is obtainable. Second class wheat, 3g to 3s 2d; chick wheat, ls9d to 2s Id : seed samples, 4s 3d to4s 6d per bushel. Oats—The state of the market this week in no way differs from its predecessor. Tho demand continues good, but holders are still unwilling to do businos! at the mousy offered. For good plump millh-g samples Is 5d to Is tid is obtaiaaale. Feed parcels Is 3d to Is 4d. Discolored and inferior. Is to Is 2d per bushel.

Barley—The demand for really prime malting tag not abated. This quality ia readily saleable at 3s to 3s 3d per bushel. Second rate quality is plentiful, and does not command much attention. 2a 3d to 2a 6d per bushel is asked, bnt is not readily saleable at these quotations, joea samples, la 6d to Is 8d per bushel. , Potatoes —Some large shipments to the Sydney market have taken place during the week, in the aggregate 1370 tons. This large quantity, coupled with the supplies from other producing districts, will undoubtedly lower values. As this market is' one of our principal customers €or the tuber, prices there may be said to regulate those hero. In view of these facts it is not likely values will improve ; on the other hand they are not likely to recede, as not move them for less money; 2la 6d to Job per ton are the prices of the day, sacks extra. Cheese and Butter-4d to 4*d for the former, JJd to Sid for the latter. . Hay—sos to 55s per ton, delivered in town. Carrots —20s per ton.
