iikurisii CORN TRADE
Tim padtions of the grain markets are unaltered.
Timm has been a lull in business, stimdiness succeeding
to the settled dulnoa that existed everywhere early in
Octo:a:r. The quotations of a weLk ago are mainly
the quotation; of to-day. The one salient feature of
the past few days is the sa e of a cargo of American
wheat at the lowest point yet taken--40s. 7W. ; but
otherwise the terms of bargains off market stands,
remain unchanged.
The prospect of a continuous foreign and home
supply, checks the disposition that millers now show
to buy stock at the existing low currencies.
In the six weeks elapsed from harvest, the total
imports of grain, am., into the United Kingdom,
are, wheat, 1,255042 qr. ; flour, 157,832 qr. ; total,
1,412,974 qr., being at the tate ofsome 123( million
qr. per annum. Barley, 600,000 qr., or at the rate
of over 5 million qr. Oats, 413,000 qr., at the rate ,
of 31 million qr. only. Maim, 493,303 qr., or 4,300,0c0
per annum.

Wedne:day's market in London was inanimate,
under a small attendance and moderate supplies.
The visible supply of wheat in America was, Oct. 3,
9,1e8,000 bush., against above the same quantity last
year, and 5,769,000 qr. in 0372.
In cargoes arrived off the coast, holders are resisting
any decline for wheat ; meanwhile the offers of buyers
are at rather reduced rates. For maize buyers continue
to show great reserve. For a cargo of American mixed
365. would be accepted-35s- bd. has been refused.
Barley remains very difficult to sell ; the nearest quota-
tion of Danubian by steamer: is 255.
The prices asking are—for wheat, ireisk, 40s. •
spring, 435. to 445. ; 43s* ; Odessa and
Nicolaieff Ghirkas, 435- New Coast Ghirka, 455.;
Minnesota, 45s- ; winter, 471. Maize, American
mixed, 365. ; barley, Wallachian, sss. 6d., U.K.
At Marseilles and Antwerp the trade has preserved
steadiness for all articles.

At Berlin wheat has been firm, and rye stiff.
At liamburgh wheat and rye have sold quietly and
steadily at currencies.
At Amsterdam rye has favoured sellers, who have
succeeded in advancing prices as. per qr. for October
sorts. Wheat has also hem a firm trade at an im-
provement of 6d. on the qr.
At New York wheat has recovered part of the late
decline ; but maize and flour have ruled dell at previous
reduced quotations.
The week's imports of wheat and flour into the
United Kingdom, are 236,000 qr. ; the supplg of
barley has not been large, moderate of other articles.
