BRITISH CORN TRADE.

The low point now reached in the value of Wheat
commences to awaken general reflection, ant an
improved feeling on our markets is the result. Indeed,
fur the last month the falLs in prices are less, and
more restricted than they at first seem to me. Three
weeks ago a good sample of old read American wheat
commanded 475. 6d. per qr., in Nlark-lane, and this
week the clearance sale of the remainder was sold at
the same figures. 475., without the 6d. having been
refused. The real decline of value is upon samples of
the home and foreign new crops, and new American
I wheat to be shipped this autumn is now reduced to
I 395. pct. qr. Again, the local average of new wheat
at Norwich is under 435. per qr., and shippers at
Odessa are accepting offers at corresponding rates.
We cannot, therefore, notice and welcome the pros-
pect of any decided recovery of the price of wheat,
but. stronger and more regular demand is promised.
The existing state of political opinions in Europe is,
moreover, such that the Corn markets may easily
become disturbed suddenly to the advantage of
sellers, but from such cause fluctuations would probably
be only temporary. The weight and blessing of a
bountiful harvest rest on the nations, and may not be
lifted this season, but bread might remain cheap and
potatoes abundant, and yet (anners receive a few
shillings per qr. and ton more than they do at present.
in France—at Paris, in the Centre, Vest, and
North—there has been a pressure to sell wheat at
6d. decline.

In Berlin, wheat, for all periods of delivery, is
cheaper.
"lhe American merchants admit that their markets
for the next three months will have to respond to the
British demand, as they cannot control it, as was the
case last year.
On Wednesday the London market was unchanged
from Monday. The improvement of tone effected
then was maintained, and all articles Mere quoted at
previous currencies.
In the off-coast Cargo trade the sale of wheat
showed 6d. further decline on Ghirka. A Continental
demand for feeding barley improved the tone of
business.

PENNI' READINGS.—AnroTar--rta. inweit of reading and

A closely packed audience assembled. The programme
was of a high standard and varied. Miss Longman, always

which she sang with grace—the latter with greet pathos;
and, upon the inevitable recall, for the tir.t %v.,' sub-
stituted " Who's that tapping at the [fasten Gate r and
for the second "The Gipsy d Warning." By Mrs. Kendall,
of East Lulwortio, was given with charming expression the
German song "In Sheltered Vale. " The bright little
duet "My Pretty Page." in which she took part, was
re-demanded. If the part songs inure especially worthy of
praise we should select "The Anvil Chorus from "11
frovatore," "l/rink to Me Only," and "From Oberon in

deference to the loudly expressed wishes of the auditory.
The various ilea, and choruses were excellently given.

CATTLE.

BRISTOL, THURSDAY. —A very large supply of
beef, and, trade being dull, holders had to submit to
a substantial reduction in order to effect a clearance,
and then it was with difficulty that the whole was
disposed of. The very choicest samples on offer were
disposed of at 755. per cwt., and really prime sorts
sold for 735, while middling descriptions changed
hands at from 62s to 665. We had also a large
supply of sheep, which met with a very dull, dflaig, ing
sale, at rather easier prices. Choice light wethers
fetched 7fd, and heavy ewes from 6fd to 7d. There
were not quite so many store cattle on offer as last
week, and although business was rather quiet, they
were all disposed of at late rates. We had a moderate
show of mach cows, which met with a quiet demand.
There were about 1,300 pigs on offer, and all were
sold, though holders had to submit to a reduction in
the quotations. Bacon pigs fetched its 3d, and
porkers from its 3d to Its 6d.
METROPOLITAN, Tituitsnir.—There are hut
few English beasts fresh up to this day's market. The
total number is smaller than last week's, and consists
chiefly of foreign and those left over from Monday.
The few choice ones on offer find purchasers at fair
rates, otherwise trade is excessively dull. The supply
of sheep is moderate, and of them also very few are
fresh consignments. Scarcely any business is being
transacted. Calves are plentiful and lower in price.
Our foreign supply consists of 700 beasts, 5600 sheep,
400 calves, and 50 milch cows. There are also too
English milell cows ; trade is very bad fur them.

At Device, wheat in good supply. but trade ruled
very slow, and last week's prices were with difficulty
maintained. Barley firm at last week's prices; in
some instances an advance was made.

At Birmingham trade more healthy, but prices as

to Qs. for seconds white per quarter of 49611,.
On Friday, at Mark-Lane, the trade was without
feature. Old wheat, both English and foreign, steady ;
new, a dull sale without change in vain,. Flour
quiet and unaltered. Oats firm, at late rates. Maize
very dull. Grinding barley depressed ; malting un-
changed. Mans and peas slow sale.—At Liverpool
moderate business in wheat, without quotable change
in prices, though these were hardly so steady. Extra
choice qualities were firm, and in some cases rather
dearer. Florr unchanged. Beams and peas Is. per

Wakefield the demand for line red wheat is checked
by holders asking is. advance, and the trade must be
quoted steady at late rates, with small business doing.
Slow trade in barley, and prices hardly supported.
All spring corn lower.—At Derby wheat inactive at
late prices.—At Lincoln business was slowly done, at
an advance of is. to 15. per quarter.—At South-

of the A. N. 0. aecount provoked much discussion.—
Mr. Jackson propued, and Mr. New sounded, that
it aloe' 1 he passed. Mr. Helmes complained that
whereas Weymouth held oat that the &strict shoull
not he put to any expense about the A. M. 0. visit.
they now ealieel for £lB3. He considered Weymouth

the whole thing was Mehl, anoceraful, and they

said the Dorchester banqnet lid not emit Poole snore
than it did the Dorchester lodcrn—Mr. Jackson offered
an explanotion as to the expense for armngirg with
newspaper proprietors.—Mr. Western thought £36 for
fitting up hand stands., /to., very high; but as a whole

had better be passed.—Mr. Helmes withdrew his
amendment, and the amount was pawed, es also the
