REVIEW OF TRH CORN TRADE.

The "Mark-Lana xpress" of to-night says--
Up to Friday there wore opportunities for
ploughing and reeding the Lint, and further
progress has been made in this iwork ; the
humidity however of the atmosphere has been
very much against thrashing, and the samples
generally sent to market have materially suffered
In condition. The trade, therefore has generally
been dull, and prices, excepting for really dry
qualities, have been tending downwards; dry
foreign having become of more value in conse-
quence ; but its abundance has prevented any
advanoe. In France values have been fully
maintained, and at Marseilles, where the prin-
cipal arrivals take plaoo, prices have improved
about Is. 6d. per quarter, while flour in Paris
has given way about M. per Back. In Dantzic
also there bas been an advance of is. per
quarter, but at Cologne the tendency has
been downwards, and liambro has been dull,
while New York shows a readiness to meet
English views. The damp weather has been
materially against the trade, while the approach
of Christmas, when rents fall due, makes it neces-
sary that farmers should be prepared to meet
them, and we cannot expect a brisk demand or
rising markets before this period is passed.

straw and refuse about the bartons, made a body
of thane and smoke ol alarming proportions, and it was
seen from a long distal:oo. Hundreds wero attracted to

handing on buckets of water, others removing furniture,
and yet more going to and fro in wondering helplessness,
