NUTS OF THE CORN TRADE FOR THE

„
'hag Liam raIDAY, Oak 4.—Notwithstanding that
only medorais supplies of home-grown wheat have been
on offer this week, the densand for all kinds, *wing to a
sudden falling oils the inquiry for France, has ruled
heavy. at • feeler deolise in the quotations of from fa
to, in same instances, Ssi per quarter. Foreign sheet
has essaranandal very little attention, and the currencies
have given way quite Is per quarter. The receipts of
barley have hummed, sales have progressed slowly,on
rather lower terms. Nail, however, has realised fell
pries. Good sound oaks have been in fair request,
but low and damp parcel. have diselhied lid to Is per
quarter. Beane a.id peas have sold at former rates;
but the value of dour Lae titled the tarn in favour of
buyers.
lgpm Now 'Fork bring prices above the views
of Wilda country. The shipments to England
are, therctoti, only moderate; hut tboee to Frans, have
Increased to some extent, On the Continent, produce
senettilly has sold heavily, and the quotations have had
• drooplug teudeney.
1 w *heats still continue to appear in excellent
eon .lile sad Sm yield if all spriug mope, especially of
barley arid oats, is unus4ily large.
Letters from Scotland state that the harvest ha.
tojned out much batter than was at one time anti.
LVThe qualityof Use wheat and barley, however,
io means so lino as last season. The grails trade
bag been in a most inactive state, and prices have had
• drooping tendency.
La Ireland there has been a fair, but by no means
active, dotuand for oats and maim; but nearly all other
kinds of produce have changed hands slowly, on rather
sasisr terms..

Th—e lb-flowing observations are front them. Sturge's
monthly alreuhr :—We have had another month a splendid
wowther, which ha. enabled our farmers to harvest In the
Sleet erosible cater the remainder of their cum crops, with
the emapeion of tow bran .4411 in the Robin, and In late
districts • little wheat; yet the French demand In the early
'sauna onmed • farther des of te to 4. par qp.rter. During
the lant week or two, however, Da ha. cunUdernt,ly loweited,
and prime have !Arno. bat receded again. Front the extant of
the Faille purchase end the large proportion for future
&livery, it is'orery tiltheult to anima the total quantity nu-
tmeat' fon As the mew creel° France is only Just harvested,
and therefor* still early all aa bond, tads demand must be
manly tpxcel.Uto, founded on anticipation. of great future
requlresoulik sod not any present mareity. Wee.. assured
that the adiement has been so great all over the *teary
that with few eneeptions every miller and dealer, large or
small. bas epeculaied in wheat to mete extent or other, and
In most ease safari. mane and credit will allow. It Is said
that tla advance In the rale of discount to 6 per ant, by the
bank of PISMO Is nude in the hope qf cheating this specu-
lative *Vit. flowever great the deficiency, these enemata
penalises mat be quite sullkient, If not unneeemartly large
to side for thews of the country up to the next harvest;
isreCsarne of the latest market reports inform us that then;
I. for wheat." As might be expected from the rainy
Weather at the time when the wheat plant was In Woman,
the melt critical period of its growth, the yield all over Grua
Miele prom Very delicient even allowing for the abases

will afford some compenstion to the grower& Although
the
Moat, of forcign what In the porm are AM heavy (it witli-
Manditqf the reehlpreente to France), we think we gull require
Urge Intfuriatione before next harvest: them, we believe, our
parent farm are sallehutly high to eoinansad. As our
hrmers am now generally ins position to hold their oorn, the
at 'malty being short and the quality vary line, we do not think
tiny will bring much to make' at any material reduction
front the NOM at which the mean bet opened. The last
arli Mrs from the United Sates report Ices favourably as to
yield, but quality and condition are excellent, and the maniples
we base soun are mainly better Lim am of last yesescrope.
