REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE.
The Ala+k-I,ane Express of to-night says—The
showers of the peat week have laid many pieces
of the forward wheat, and must have done some
injury to that only just coming out into bloom..
Potatoes look uncommonly wet!. Some winter
oat& axe already fit to cut, and some wheat will
S. ready in three weeks or a month for the
Deckle, while there has been a general ad-
vance to maturity much safer than had hot and
forcing weather steadily ruled. The hay crop is
a bountiful one, but the doubtful weather and
difficulties and increased expense ef labour
have made the gathering a very lingering
affair • much is discoloured and some partly
damaged, and some has still to.be got In. If
we cau only get over the pinch of present supplies
up to harvest we shall do well, and there Is
every prospect that lower rates will set in for the
new crop, but the stocks of fins old English and
foreign are much reduoed, and first-class millers
may yet have to reduce their qualities before the
'lemon has passed. The late heavy shipments
from the Mack Sea have been anything but
favourable in quality.
