REVIEW oF TUE COHN TRADE.
The " tifark-Lane Express 'of to-night says
the peat week has ruled tine and dry, but very
cold; but there ought to be none of the corn
damaged by sprouting. In regard to yield of
corn we have certainly leas than average, yet
our prices have given way in home grown and
new qualities, while the value of good con-
ditioned foreign red has somewhat improved.
By the agricultural returns of the past year it
veins we have grown something under elevLn
million quarters, or about half out consumption.
Our extra growth of potatoes may be more than
cancelled by their diseased state, but cattle and
sheep items are serious as respects deficiency ,the
other side being only an increase of pigs. Nor
mustwe forget the foot-and-mouth disease at
home and the murrain abroad. We need therefore I
husband our resources, and every corn-producing
country ahould know the situation of largo con-
sumers, to make timely provision to meet it.
Although rates are now deemed high, there is
no present pressure on the poor, and there scents
nothing in the distance to be apprehended.
Even though the rate of discount has been
raimed, there are still Ihidications of great
abundance of money.
