CORN EXCHANGE.

The following is the Corn Exchange report for the week ending Friday evening, October Bth, 1880 These i% absolutely no change to report in the state of the market daring the week. Business is very dull. The transactions taking place are purely of a local character, or what might be termed a hand to mouth business. Freight is difficult to obtain. Millers are still in the market for wheat but hardly so eager. The weather is all that could be desired, and the crops in all parts of the country are looking well. At present there is every prospect of an abundant harvest. Wheat.—-Good milling samples are worth from 4s to 4a 3d per bushel, hxceptionally fine quality of certain descriptions a shade over these figures. Second class milling, 3s 3d to 3s 9d ; chick wheat, 2s to 3s per bushel. Oats. —The business done during the week has been of a moat unimportant character. Good, stout, short milling are saleable at from Is (id to Is 8d per bushel; feel quality, la 3d to Is 4d ; inferior food. Is to Is 2d per bushel. Barley—The market for this cereal is rather sluggish. Maltsters and brewers are tolerably well supplied, and nothing but exceptionally fine quality will tempt them, and that too at a moderate price. Fair malting quality may be quoted at from 2s 3d to 2s 6d per bushel: extra prime, 2s 8d to 3s 6d; feed samples, Is 6d to Is 9d per bushel. Grass Seed—Tbo demand is hardly so good. A few transactions have taken place at from 2s 6d to 2s lOd per bushel; those have been farmers’ parcels, bnt of exceptionally good quality. Town-dressed heavy seed is worth 2s Kid to 3s per bushel; light, and badly cleaned, Is 9d to 2a 3d; cocksfoot, 2Jdto 3d per lb, in small lines. Potatoes —A few trifling orders have been executed during the week at about 15s the ton. Sales have taken place at less than this figure. It is hardly likely, however, that growers will accept less, as the cost of labor, carting, &0., 1 would not warrant it. The same prices may bo ' quoted as last week—lss to 20s per ton, sacks ‘ extra. • Cheese and Butter—The former, 4d to 41d; the latter, 7|d to Bd.
