as to the medical histories of their families or them-
selves, and he remark.—" It io to be hopeil that in

Markets.
THE BRITISH CORN TRADE.

New corn has been threshed out very slowly, yet
almost every district has received some new samples,
and, indeed, new wheat, the second week of August,
has become one of the chief branches of the trade.
Many of the new samples are undoubtedly soft and so
not, at present, suitable for working, whilst the drier
earliest lots are not plump and thin-skinned, but some-
what angular, and with plenty of Bran covering the
kernel of flour. About so grains in each ear seem
this year to form the average, and so should yield a
good but not heavy crop. There is more staw than
was expected, and the stems stand thick on the land.
The Wednesday's market, under rather better
weather, which was fine enough to admit of partial
carrying, was inactive but without change in rates.
Country members did not give such encouraging
reports of the crops as they had previously made.
The Country markets for the last fewsdays have had
but little business, yet the occasional samples of new
wheat on offer have mostly found buyers at irregular
figures, according to locality; Boston quoting 575. to
Gos. per qr., Great Yarmouth 565. to 575., whilst
Bury St. Edmunds, under larger supplies, gives the
range from 58s. downwards to 525.
Letters from abroad continue to give us favourable
information of the crops; they are estimated good in
Austria and Hungary. In Italy they are reported
magnificent in corn, and to promise a large vintage.
At the great International Market, just held in Pesth,
the transactions are reported to be of considerable
magnitude, and at very favourable rates to buyers. In
South Russia new wheat has arrived at Odessa, and
fine quality is promised, as well as quantity. Latest
reports from America endorse the former favourable
crop estimates.
These foreign reports have an unfavourable
influence on British trade, and our next neighbour,
France, finds value declining for wheat each week;
however, the stormy, showery weather at home acts
more promptly and directly on our markets and on
this account the present situation of this week's corn
trade is one of steadiness and firmness.

English wheat was in July, on 2s. 2d. lower than in
January; whereas Russian and American wheat also
were to lower, in some sorts the differences being even
145. per qr.
On Thursday. at Bristol, there was a small supply
of new wheat, the quality and condition of which was
generally fair. The demand was good, at 485. to 34.5.
furred ; and 345. to 585. for white, per 496
Foreign arrivals arc heavy, and have met with a large
enquiry from millers, at about the prices previously
current. Indian corn more freely offered, and at a
decline of 6d. per quarter. A large business was
done. The supply of barley vras not equal to the
demand, and prices have advanced fully 64. per qr.
Oats scarce, and quite as dear. New tawney selling
at 285. per 304 lbs —At Birmingham English wheat
was in shorter supply, but not quotably dearer.—At
Manchester, little new English wheat offering. It was
taken at 385. for red, and 6is. to 62% for white.
Quality middling. Foreign in fair demand, at last
week's prices. Flour declined 6d. per sack, but fresh-
made English was unchanged Oats fully as dear;
beans advanced is. per quarter. Indian corn Is. per
quarter lower.
On Friday, at Mark-Lane, demand for both English
and foreign wheat quiet, but prices firm; American
very firm, and in some eases rather dearer. The dour
trade rules quiet, and values are unaltered. Oats and
barley realise full rates. Market quiet for Maize.
Beans and peas strong, with an upward tendency in
prices. —At Liverpool a fair business in wheat, red
American No i spring advancing id. per cental since
Tuesday, but white descriptions showiag a similar
decline. Flour firm, but inactive. Beans and peas
64. to is. per quarter dearer. Barley very firm
Oats dearer. Indian corn moved slowly at a reduction
of 3d. per quarter.—At Wakefield, the small supply
of new wheat sold slowly, at Tuesday's prices, and
old held for late rates. In other articles no change.

BRISTOL THURSDAY.—There was a moderate
supply of beef at our market, with an improved trade.
Best, 82s. to B*. ; middling, 705. to 755. Mutton
was plentiful. and the demand was quiet. Best
wethers ; heavy ewes, 63. d. There was a
large supply of lamb, and a better trade at &I. 500
store cattle on sale. All sold at lower rates. About
Po Pigs were offered. Bacon and porkers, Its. 6d.
to 12s.

METROPOLITAN, TIRIRSDAV.—There are not
quite so many beasts as on last Thursday; trade, how.
ever, is not so good, and prices must be written a
little lower. There is scarcely any alteration in the
supply of sheep, nor in the trade for them. Trade is
very heavy for lambs and calves at our quotations.
There are 60 English and 20 hutch mdch cows
on offer; trade is still bad for them. Our foreign
supply consists of rgo beasts, 4,140 sheep, and 550
calves.
