REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE.
Although the publication of the actual stocks of
pride showed that the holding of wheat at the principal
outporte was much leas than had been anticipated --
being probably half-a-million quarters leas than at the
aloes of the preceding twelve months—the wheat trade
has ruled imay dull during the past week, and the '
tendency of the qaotations has been downwards. On
Monday the attendance of millers at Mark-Lano was
limited, and although the supply of English wheat was
small and in better condition, it was difficult to effect
Males ova& at a decline of Is to 26 per pr. Towards the
doss of the week more firmness prevailed owing to the
retsina of frost, and to the state of the roads, but no
improvement was apparent in the quotations. The
number of /cargoes afloat is large -there being nearly
IN wheat laden vessels on passage to the United
Kingdom& against, howeter• 430 at the corresponding
period in 1870. Stilt this is a considerable quantity for
We time of year, though looking at the probability of
• heavy demand' lon French account, it is not at all
likely 40 messed our requirements. On Friday the
market dosed with rather more firmness, but the
business transacted was not extensive.
Spring oorn ruled dull at the commencement of the
weak, and maim andpate gave way hi per quarter, but
cel Friday a partial recovery took place. Barley, beam
and peas, were also lower. In flour there has been some
&amid fee barrels, which have sold at steady prices.
Foreign sad country sacks have ruled in fa/uur of
