OHRISTOHUROH CORN EXCHANGE. The following is the Corn Exchange report (per N. P. Meyers, Secretary), for the week ending Friday, June L3th:— Latest cablegrams from London continue to show that wheat is without any appreciable alterations in value, Whether, in face of reports from the great centres of production in Europe, they will be of a temporary character, is more than we, at such a distance, can decide. Local enquiries are not favorable to any advance on last week’s rates. In oats the only enquiry under our notice are for prime milling, while feed sorts remain steady at last quotations. Barley is without any visible alteration ; prime quality commands full rates, inferior samples can scarcelly find buyers at any price. Peas and Beans—The former (if hand threshed) are worth up to last week’s quotations, and beans have some slight enquiry,at values below. PotatoesQuotations are nominal, no outside enquiry having come under our notice ; we cannot! say there is any alteration worthy of mention. Dairy produce is at our former quotations.
