BRITISH CORN TRADE.
Whilst the business in America and Russia takes
its direction from English advices and is, therefore.
inactive with value stilr slightly declining, the markets
of France and Germany may be said to depend rather
upon the state of local opinion as upon local supplies,
and we find in Paris, Marseilles, Berlin, &c., the sante
restriction in trade and weakness of value. In fact the
weather assailed the firm position in which holders
thought themselves safe, and fine day after fine day
repotted has attacked and carried the position to a
lower level.
With the equinox the weather has changed, and
instead of sunshine the sky is now rainy and overcast,
and as prices arc now low a change to firmness seems
probable, even though the coming supplies remain
heavy.
There arc now but 20 wheat cargoes on sale off
coast. . .

On Wednesday there were no sales of wheat cargoes,
and Galatz maize for shipment made 325 6d per 429 lb,
and American was only inquired for at 295 sellers
wanting 315 6d.
Arrived Ixtrley sold at from 20s 6d to 23$ 6d, which
were extremely low figures.
The depression in trade off coast was even greater
than in Mark Lane.

The imports of wheat and flour into the United
Kingdom are kept up at an extremly heavy rate. Last
week upwards of 390,000 qr. arrived, making about
one million and a quarter in three weeks; of maize
the supplies were moderate, rather over 85,000 qr.
English wheat comes to the market in gradually
increasing bulk, but at present it has not attained to
more than about half the average deliveries of thc
period ; the harvest was a good deal behind hand
notwithstanding the exceptionally fine weather enjoyed
during the cutting and carrying. Barley, too, and
oats are late in reaching the markets.
. .

The inland markets-have remained in a state of
listleness pending the delivery of good supplies of this
year's grain, and the revival of a brisk enquiry. In
the meantime, supply and demand being both limited,
the value of grain has either remained stationary, or
has been subject to a reduction accordingly, an holders
have been firm, or have hesitated to refuse offers. The
great supplies from abroad have acted on the ports,
and the ports have affected to some extent thc smaller
markets, so that on the whole the week may be written
as having been, for sellers, unsatisfactory.
Wheat is about is lower in price, but in many cases
a confidence in the course of trade in October causes
samples to be held back. Flour is almost unsaleable.
Where transactions have occurred they have been at a
concession of 6cl to is on the sack. Barley, beans,
and pcas have been steady, especially the samples of
this year's harvest. Malting barley here and there
has been saleable at gd to is advance, while grinding
sorts have occasionally been parted with at a similar
decline. Common oats are (id to is cheaper on the
week, but fine samples command full rates. This
refers to old sorts. New oats when on offer in any
bulk have been decidedly cheaper, in comparison with
old oats.

The port markets have been well in tone, and under
pressure of supplies, and almost exhausted granary
space, especially on the western coast, prices have
again receded. Wheat, both red and white, is Is
lower on the week all round the coast.

At Liverpool, Californian wheat stands at 54s per
500 lb. Barley, beans, and peas have been steady,
with very little business passing. Oats are quoted id
and 2d per bush. lower at some places for all sorts, but
on the whole old samples may be said to command the
full prices of a week back. Maize has now passed the
305 line, on the better side of which it has so long
been kept; as 6d is readily taken for American mixed
sorts. Flour is is per sack and gd per barrel lower
on the week. Rye is slow at 3os per qr.
The price of No i Milwaukee wheat, prompt ship-
ment, was on 22nd inst , as low as 455, and at this
point there seemed a disposition by millers to operate
freely. Several opinions agree that the lowest rate of
this autumn is now close ; there is, however, a counter
opinion existing, that with the large stocks existing
there may soon be a pressure to sell that will cause a
further decline. Farmers, on their part, are decidedly
firm, and there seems every probability of their re-
maining slow sellers throughout the winter, for their
crop is unquestionably a very poor one.
New Scotch barley, weighing fully 56 lb per bushel,
is offered from 46s to sos. New black Swedish oats
make about ass, and leafing foreign barley per 400 lb
243 6d. 'lhu3 stock food is now cheap, with oats
frzm 2, main, 31s, and beans, 375.

On Thursday, at Bristol tliere was a fair supply of
English wheat; well conditioned samples sold at about
last week's prices, damp and inferior were unsaleable.
Under the continued influence of heavy arrivals, foreign
gave way Is to 24 per quarter, with only a limited
demand. Maize quiet, and again 6,1 per qr cheaper.
In barley, not much doing, at a decline of 6d per qr.
In oats a fair consumptive demand, at a reduction of
6d per qr. on black, and as on white descriptions ;
tawneys unaltered. Arrivals :—Wheat, foreign,

At Birmingham demand was by no means active,
and all but finest qualities sold at a decline of is per
gr. At Devizes most of the new samples were in very
, indifferent condition. The trade for all deseriptions
was slow, at last week's prices. There was a good
demand for vetches, which sold at from 13s to 14$ per
bushel. Old wheat 26s to 285 per sack; now ditto,

On Friday at Mark-Lane the show of English wheat
was moderate, while the fresh arrivals of foreign were
rather large. The quality and con•lition of the produce
also were satisfactory, and the rates of Monday were
demanded in nearly all instanccs. The attendance of
millers, however, was very poor, and the sales con.
c were few. Barley vats a little more firmly held,
bluded u
tthere was no increase in the demand for either
malting, grinding, or distilling sorts. Malt was dull,
and nominally without change in value. The supplies
of oats were limited, and sound English descriptions
realised on advance of about 6,1 per quarter. Nlaize
was much in excess of requirements, and the quotations
were not well supported. I/cans and peas met with a
quiet sale on former terms. Flour experienced a slow
trade, and remained easy in price.—At Andover wheat
and barley, sold readily at late quotations.—At Lincoln
prices were maintained for good samples, but for
smondary kind there was a slow sale at is per quarter
less money.—At Wakefield wheat very flat, samples
of new almost unsaleable, and prices lower.
