LATEST NEW&

REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE.
More firmnem has been noticed in the grain trade
at Mark-Lane to-day. English wheat ham advanced
one ',billing and foreign one to two shillings per
quarter, and the market has closed steadily at the
improvement. ft is not improbable that a further
proportion of else late decline will be recovered, but
the conditions 4 the tr.ele are not such as to
▪ Kner,t the expectation of a permanent maintainance
of a much higher range of value. Spring shipments
now asunmenve, in fact :oleic.% from Taganrog mention
the et.„ie.aing of that port idl the sixth instant to
which dab:twelve steamers hal arrived. More liberal
shipments may ale,. be expected from the United
States, at tle• same time. But the fact most not be
lost sight f thatotar stocks are much minced and that
for another the ..... isth. we shall be mainly dependent
upon last y...ar*, produce. Barley quite as dear, lath
maithe, awl;:tinding, with moderate demand Oats
have ,el,aaced no shilling., and ha% e closed strong at
s.
the imp'. einent. Maize has been firmer in sympathy,
but an actual advance cannot he riuote,L WM. and
peas have been unalterml Flour has been firm ;
American rather dearer.
