brATE OF TUE CORN TRADE FOR TRE
WELK.

Nirieultural prospects have not improved during the
pe,t, ',era, the over-aburidant rains boring been followed
by OW ir.sty nights, *both have retarded the growth
of au WIASC plant, and citified • :ors of calour on
n.oipateb.s. There has, therefore, born more firm.
mea in loupe., though there has been • general dish'.
chuation on the part of millers to eater into businesi
at current rates.

From Messrs. J. & G. Siciaos'e circular: "During
the early pert of the mouth. Wheat advanced about
3., p‘r hut owing to the subsequent film growing
weather aheit half of this ailv ince has Sillo3 lemn lost, !
wbil.t the demand for Frame and Belgium has nearly ,
Lewd fur the present, but in all probability will revive
for • time nest inunth, as farmers' supplies hive
recently much fallen off. Faeorable as the weather
has recently been the reporte of growing wheat do not
lei rose, the ravages of the wire worm being now aided •
to the Minty dune uy the frost. The weather has be.'
conic all that can be desired, V..) dry time having been
foilowed by warm showers; and spring sown corn of all
lends livery promising. The advice* of the pro:lees
of toe crop in Framer are also unfavorable ; this is
p.rticularly unfortunate for that country as it seeing
doubtful if the means can cow be found to pay for large
iimortations. One of our firm who has been for some
teue distributing seel corn in the great grain growing
ballet el the Lame valley, reports the growing who it
crop sa without exemption so poor it cannot produce an
Cr, ao, many of the fernier' saying that they should
lot hove more than a quarter. It seems just like the
Mtn fields in England, the defic.enoy of plant probably
nosing from the mune ctuse, whether frosts or insects,
I point on which. as wheat rles, bee more and more
effect on the consumption thereof, but the very high
lake of butchers' meat on the other hand, must cause
more bread to be used, whilst the failure of other
rezetables from the severe water, will have a similar
tendency. The number of wheat.laden ves-ele on the
coast is reduced to 3, and only 74 aro now on passage
frotn ports east of Uibraltar, hut the shipments from
Eastern States of America am o increasing, and will 8000
oommentie from C inada. On the et her bend the quantity
on paaage from Cadornia is meets less-rued. Batas
prices are still too !sigh to lucre any margin for Miele-
%sena to this country. Our imports (or the pipit en:aria
