STATE OW THE CORN TRADE FOR THE WEEK.

The export demand having now subsided, there has
been a greet lack of animation in the grain trade dur-
ing the past week, aud the tendency of prime has bees
downwards throughout. Supplies of English wheat on
offer have been small, and the cmdltiou of the samples
has been inferior. Fine dry parcels have sad at late
rates, but less money has been accepted to effect saes
of produce generally. Foreign cheat has changed hands
slowly at barely late rates. Trade is just now is a
state of sniper:loon, and little activity can be looked for
until the political situtiou becomes more defined. Our
eon millers are fairly stocked,and decline to operate to
any important extent at the rates now eurrent. On
Ike other hand holders refuse to make oonoession in
the face of the possibility of • renewal of hostile opera.
tions in France, holding at the same time the reason•
able belief that the French denten,' is only temporarily
satisfied, and that shipments will be resumed on an
even moie extensive scale at an early date. This will
probably be the ease, particularly if terms of peace are
arranged and the existing obstacles to trade removed.
Flour ham fallen considerably on the week, sales of
barrel flour being repertedon Friday at 295. The spring
corn trade has ruled dull; grinding barley, beans, and
peas are about ls per quarter lower. Maize and oats
ruled dull at the opening of the week, but on Friday
a reaction took plea, and sales took place at firm
currencies.
Mr • George Dornbuseli thus reports the state of the
floating grain and seed trade :—During the last eight
days 45 grain and seed-laded vessels have arrived at
f•call, vie. :-24 wheat, 3 Mille, 11 barley, 2
ret7l linseed, 1 rapeseed, 1 fodder.seed, 1 cotton-
wood, and 1 Talons*. The floating gram trade has been
quiet, though steady in toes. Wucat—The expects.
two of large arrivals has kept business in suspense. and
, only few transactions have transpired. Melee has been
in qoiet demand at easier prisms. Barley at first
steady in price, later, to male sales, slightly lower
prices had to be accep ei. In rye little burliness has
been done.
