BRITISH rfittN TRADE.
Transactions in grain continue difficult and re-
ste.cttd, and, at the low range of price% current for
wheat LW: dour, the stagnation of busine.ss k remark-
able. The alttrnate rain an.: breezy sanshine of the
we dher is highly fa‘ocrable to a r,..t ~c.l time,
and this fact is adtiol to others in producing dull-
ness.

The state of the markets in France and on the Con-
tinent generally is quiet, but the present depressed con-
dition of English trade must he directly attributed to
home causes in the liberality of farmer's supplies, and
the tone of opinions.
The Wednesday's market in London did not change
the position of trade ; extreme dulness existed at Mon-
day's prices; the discouragement felt was less on
account of the smallness of tramactions as in the
general abstention by buyers from making any diets
or inquiries. The best sign we could note was the
often repeated expression that prices must be nearly or
quite at their lowest.

. During the month of September the wheat imports
Wirl• 4,144321 cwt., value £2,283,000. Flour,
394,786 cwt., value £347,767; and barley,
1,458,500 cwt., va1ue.C659,222.

On Thursday, at Bristol, fair supply of .
wheat, which met a free sale at a reduction of taper
quarter ; liberal supplies of foreign, and a better trade
at similar decline. Malting barley in good request,
at full prices ; of grinding parcels the supplies of
foreign continue enormous, and prices are forced
down a further Is. per quarter. Indian corn dull, at
last week's rates. Irish white oats have given way
6d. to Is. per quarter, whilst black and tawny are the
turn dearer.

At Birmingham a fair inquiry at last week's pnces.
At Devizes trade ruled extremely dull, inferior samples
in some cases gave way.
On Friday, at Mark-Lane, the trade was quiet in
tone. The attendance again thin and business limited.
Only a moderate supply of English wheat on offer ;
nevertheless d‘mand inactive, at about Monday's quo-
tations. A good show of foreign wheat on Wier, for
which a slow inquiry at previous currencies. Malting
barley finn in value, otherwise trade quiet. Malt
unaltered. Full average supplies of oats' chiefly
foreign produce. Sound corn steady in value, but
inferior drooping. Maize changed hands quietly, at
about pro, ious quotations. Beans and peas firm, but
not active. Flour market dull.—At Derby an
improved inquiry, at the full rates of last week.—At
Lincoln a firmer fecling.—At Liverpool wheat met an

average consumotive request at previous currencies.—

of beasts is larger than on last Thuisday ; there is,
however, no improvement in quality ; trade is active,
at about Monday's (Notations. There is also a small
increase in the supply of sheep ; for second quality
prices are scarcely as good as on Monday. but choicest
