The Cumberland Pacquet - 25 Feb 1812
MARKET HERALD.

Corn Exchange, London, Monday, Feb. 17, 1812.

We had a considerable supply of Wheat for this morning's market, and prices
declined 2s. and 3s. per quarter, with the exception, however, of a few
select samples of Fine Old White, which fetched as much as 125s. per
quarter. Large quantities of Flour still pour in from the North and other
distant quarters, rendering that article heavy in sale, and without any
improvement in value.

Barley, contrary to expectation, is become dearer, and Malt likewise
obtained better prices. -- White Pease nearly as last; Grey rather
higher. -- In Beans of the two kinds a dullness prevailed, but not in a
degree to justify any alteration in our figures. -- Oats continue to come
sparingly to market, and good samples were dearer, as per quotation below.

Current PRICE of GRAIN, on board Ship, as under.
