CORN EXCHANGE.

The following is the report, for the week ending Friday evening, the 19th instant Since our last report, dated sth November, there is no change to note in values, the week preceding the present being entirely given over to holiday making, no report was issued. Since then business has been almost at a standstill, and at this time of year it is questionable whether it is worth while to publish a grain report, one week being but a repetition of its predecessor. The weather continues to be all that can be desired, the crops in nearly all parts of the country are looking extremely well, and everything bids fair for a bountiful harvest. On the light lands rain would be acceptable. Wheat —A few small parcels are coming to hand, which are absorbed by the millers at 4s 2d to 4a 3d; particular kinds, viz., the hard wheats, when of unexceptional quality, are worth 4s 5d to 4s 6d per bushel; second quality wheat, 3s to 3s 6d per bushel; chick wheat. Is 9d to 2a 9d per bushel. Oats—Good stout milling samples are being asked for at from la 8d to lls 9d per bnsbel; holders, however, seem disinclined to part for the money, anticipating a farther rise. This, however, is not likely to take_ place soon, the difficulty in obtaining freight beinga gi cat bar. Feed samples, of really good quality, are worth ls;sd to Is 6d per bushel; second-class feed parcels, la 3d to la 4d per bushel. Barley—A few enquiries have bean made lately for prime malting samples, but of this kind there are hardly any offering ; 3s to 3a 3d ia the value for this class ; second rate samples ramge from 2s 3d to 2s 9d ; feed quality, Is 6d to la 9d per bnsbel. Grass Seed —The season is now so far advanced that there is really no business doing, but prices remain as before. First-class seed is worth 3s to 3a 3d; farmers’ parcels, badly cleaned, Is 9d to 2s 3d per bushel. Potatoes —No business doing; prices nominal. Cheese and Butter —4d to 4£d for the former ; 5d to 6d for the latter.
