The " Mark• Lane Express of to.night says that
many seeds have germinated before the usual time,
spring flowery have been forming their buds, and the
fruit blossoms, especially those on walls, have been
swelling fast. The hazel has come out in force, but
slugs are unusually abundant, and many other enemies
have lived through the mild winter, while thc iuli
damp has kept our markes badly and scantily sup;ALA

peons gain in the averag, s, although universal languor
continues in the trade. Should an American rupture
occur, an entirely new lave would be given to the corn
trade. There is nothing stt;ng in Enr01..., but the
tendency of prices is rather duwaivards, as at Paris
and kianci"es. At Danuic, however, English orders
cannot be executed, and agents on this side have been
obliged to somewhat raise plices, best high mixed
wheat being held at nis 6,1 per quarter, cost, freight,
and insurance. Naples a.vl Algeria cheapc, but still
dear. Last quotations front New York ltow an
