!RATE OF THE CORN TRADE FOR THE

llAna•Lurn, Friday, Oct. 11.—Moat of the leading
markets held same we last wrote have been but modes,
ale/y supplied with home-grown wheat, for which the
demand has ruled steady, at, in some instances, an
advance in the quotations of about is per quarter.
Although the inquiry for foreign wheat on Frenth
aocouut has wholly ceased, house millers have purchased
rather more freely. and really fine samples have realised
rather more money. There has been • blow sale for
barley, both English aod foreign, at a alight depression
In the currencies. Malt, however, has moved off
steadily at late rates; but oats have been offeriug On
sealer terms. Beans and peas Lave commanded previous
rates, with • slow sale. The flour trade has become
somewhat firmer. . . .

The Scotch markela have been tolerably fine for
wheel, at very full prices; but all other kinds of
Itimhave clanged heads Bluely. oo former tertz.s.
yild of the new crops, generally, is not equal to
LA season either aa respects quantity or quality.
In Irelmid, the beat wheats have produced rather
more money; but the demand has been by no means
satire. Fine barley sod oats hays been held au former
terms. Moat other articles hare ruled heavy.
A Paris letter in the Nord says :-"The pries of
earn is fallen is all Ute markets, and the immediate
mesequence will be • reduction in the price of bread,
which bad all at ouce risen to • rate which was very
diaquieting, especially at the approach of winter. The
augmentation in the price of bread aggravated the crisis
which exists, though temporarily, in the money market.
Femme has purchased wheat to the &menet of
200,000,000 C
•or 300,000,000 f., and has subscribed for
accooo,ooor. in the Italian luau; a sum of about
400,000,0001. has, therefore, to leave the country.
Nevertheless, the crisis can only bo temporary; and
with regard to oorn-a consolatory circumstance for
consumers-• singular thing is likely to occur. In
*ape...Mimi of • bad harvest, enormous purchases of
wheat were made on French account, and England sold
us all that we wanted to buy. The harvest turned out
to be better than was expected, mid French dealers
will probably be able to return to England part of the
wheat which herspeculators sold to them.
The advice& trout America, dated New York, Sept.
26, state that the market for State and Western flour
maintained the buoyance previously mentioned until
Uss receipt of later &deices, when the market relapsed

Ilk per brl from the highest point of the previous day.
The salon for the three da • aggregate 70,000 brls, of
which 17,400 brio were placed yesterday, the market
.losing heavy. Canada dour is heavy and lower, with
aides to the exteet of 2,900 brls, including 1100 betel
yesterday. Southern dour has been in moderato
demand, but prices are • shade higher.
The market for wheat ruled buoyant under a very
active deemed for shipment to Europe, on Saturday and
Monday, and holdens were enable to obtain a consider
able advance epee previous prises. The European
advice, were unexpectedly of a rather adverse tenour.
however, and created • feeling something akin to •
minim the market being heavy at d irregular, aud all
kinds depreciated 3o to do per bushel, while on some
kinds the decline was stall greater. The sales aggregate
465,0110 Modelle, of which 173,030 crammed owners yes-
terday. There has prevailed an assive demand for corn,
though at steadily declining rate,; the sales comprise
700,000 bushels, Including 257,000 yesterday, at 11, to I
factor Western seized, 49. to 50a for unsound, 53e to

and fiCie to 660 for round yellow.
New You, Sept. 28.-With an active demand for
the bettor grades of State and Western flour fur export,
the market has ruled very buoyant and firm, and a
further mimeos, of 10c to 20e per brl has been °deb-
Sawed. Canada dour has likewise been more active, and
the sales have been tolerably heavy. The demand for
Southern dour has been moderate, but the market
remains firm, and higher prices have in some Meet been
riddled. Th• continued favourable character of the
European isthiligence exerts •most inspiriting influence
en 'Change, and there lute prevailed • very active
reckaagt, mid the Wes have been unusually heavy at
ratite't better prices.
The wheat trade at Alexandria, for the week ending
Sept. 20, was active, and prices were folly supported.
Basins, however, were rather cheaper. Freights are very

Kingdom for orders, and for other descriptions in pro-
portion; to • direct port, lii to 6.11.1. There is at this

At Liverpool, this morning, wheat was in good re- I
queet, and an advance of 23 to 34 par oental took
place In prime. Flour was firm, end Iles marks were
rather dearer. Maine sold freely, at extreme rates.
TIIDAT NIGHT. --The fresh arrivals of English wheat
at Mark-lane, this morning, were small, and the total
show of samples was much restricted. For both red
end white parcels there was an improved demand at.,
in several instances, • further advance in prices of Is.
per quarter. Foreign wheat-the supply of which was
only woderate-,wu held for more money; but no
quotable improvement can be noticed in its value, com-
pared with Monday last. Barley was a dull sale, and
prices had • downward tendency. Oats and beans sold
slowly, at about previous rater; but peas-owing to the
scanty supply on offer-realised higher currencies. The
dourtrade was firm. and the quotations were well sup-
ported. This week's imports amount to 7,720 quarters
of wheat, 4,280 of barley, 17,860 of oats, and 3,440
barrels of flour.
Mr. E. Rainford reports & moderate liminess doing is
floating cargoes of gram at full prices. The arrivals aff
emathave amounted to 34 vessels.
