      CORN MARKET . Mark Lane , Friday Evening , Dec . 23 . TiOCAi . Trade . —The' supplies of English wheat during the week have been insignificant , but liberal of foreign wheat and of Irish and foreign oats . The trade in all articles is firm at Monday ' s rates . ifiOATlirG TBADE . —Out of thirty-two arrivals reported this week , only about nine remain for sale . The general r ise in prices throughput the country , and the firm tone of the French and Belgian markets , have not been without influence on the value of floating cargoes . Since our last , g ales have been made at an advance of 2 s . per qr . It is an important feature in the trade , that after a temporary denr < wsion . arising from immense supplies , the markets in the

      south of Europe have again begun to advance , so that there is at present , no reason to expect that cargoes originally destined for Mediterranean ports will be sent forward to this country , as was feared by some persons'about three weeks ago . We have certainly more inquiries for wheat from Ireland as well as England this week . The stocks of this article in the former country are getting very low , and we expect before long to have such a demand from thence as shall make up , in a great measure , for the want of a French demand , should this fall off as some persons ' seem rather disposed to anticipate . The shipments from Odessa continue ni the same proportions as before to the Medir terranean and , this country .

      REGISTERED AS THE ACT DIRECTS . STEPHENS' IMPROVED PARALLEL RULER . —In the use of the common Desk Ruler every person knows that there is a constant motion of the fingers to accompany the revolution of the Ruler ; this motion , besides the inconvenience to the operator , occasions it . to roll out of the parallel , and lines so ruled do not in any length of surface correspond . Another inconvenience in the common Ruler is , that , by its contact with the Pen , ink stains are left on the sides of the Ruler , which , in revolving , soil the fftigers aud the paper ; both these inconveniences are removed , by the above-named improved Ruler , which having the rollers underneath a flat upper surface , rolls over the paper without coming in contact with the fingers ; and by a peculiarity of formation at the ruling edge the Pen is kept from contact with the ruling parts on the paper , so that soiling the fingers on the paper is completely prevented . Rulers of various lengths , from seven to eighteen ; mches , at prices varying from 2 s . fid . to 5 s . ¦ Manufactured and Sold by the Proprietor , HENRY STEPHENS , 54 , Stamford-street , Blackfriars-road , London . Sold by all Booksellers and Stationers .
