Six friends or relatives—the latter is most probably the

both were drawn out on the floor. The end of the story
is melanchoty in the extreme. The infant rat was, on

In London on Wednmlay there were no changes
from Monday, the steadiness of feeling somewhat
increasing ; and in the Largest Scotch and Irish
markets prices were generally unaltered, foreign wheat
favouring buyers.
The state of the European markets in Italy, France,
and Germany, arc such, that from the declining
tendency of prices the British market is affected
unfavourably, whilst the immense production of wheat
grown and secured in California and promised else-
where, is directly opposed to active trade during the
progress of the English harvest.
The prices now asked for cargoes off coast are
475. to 495. 6d., wheat, Russian and American sorts,
Canadian, 555., Oregon, 585., for maize, 335. to 34.5.

crop in England and in France, and the very poor

firm in price, and are likely to be in large demand.
On Thursday, at Birmingham, English wheat rather
lower, American, is. to is. &I. cheaper. Spring
corn unaltered.—At Manchester English wheat in
short supply, and generally held for more than buyers
would give. The little sold was at a reduction of is.
Per qr. Foreign slow at last week's prices. Flour
also dull, without change.—At Bristol little English
wheat on offer; quotations quite nominal. With fair
arrivals of American the demand was trifling at about
last week's values, Black Sim qualities being altogether
un.saleable. Good consumptive demand for maize, at
a reduction of fully 6d. per qr. Barley scarce and in
good request at fully last week's rates. Oats scarce
and quite as dear ; new Irish tawny of good quality
realised 295. per 304 Ilss.
On Friday, at Mark-Lane, the wheat trade closed
heavily, prices ruling quite as. per quarter lower than
on Monday. Flour also was decidedly easier to sell.
In the value of spring corn there was no alteration
At Liverpool, only a limited business was done in
wheat, at a decline of 2d, to 3d per cental, as in
quality. The flour trade was quiet, and previous rates
were not maintained.
