LONDON MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19.

We have had a good supply of Wheat and Flour this week, particularly of the latter, and the mealing trade on the whole is exceedingly dull, and from 2s. to Ss. per quarter lower. Barley meets a heavy sale, on scarcely so good terms, but Beans and Peas are steady in value. The Oat trade is not over brisk, but we cannot quote it lower, except for the very ordinary descriptions. In other articles no varia. ton worth notice.
