THE BRITISH CORN TRADE.

In a few days the harvest prospects may be
uncommonly fine, or the reverse. accordingly as the
effects of the late frosts are found to he much or
little, and as the weather of the next to days proves
fair or foul.

Wednesday's London market showed undoubted
steadiness, and there was a fair demand by home
buyers as well as Continental at Monday's currencies
for all articles. Alaize and oats were rather difficult
to get, except at an advance in price. In the night
there had been a very beneficial rainfall, heavy enough
to lay some of the thick wheat crops ; the wind, too,
had been rougher than desirable in and about bloom-
Mg time, but the rise of to degrees to 15 degrees of
night temperature removed further fears of frost,
although the wind remained northerly.
The prices asking for cargoes arrived are 525. to
535. 6d. for Odessa Ghirka ; 535. to 555. for American
spring ; 6ts. Chilian ; 635. 6d. Australian and Oregon
whilst ; 325. 6d. fur Danubian barley ; 38s. 6d. for
American maize. For cargoes on passage and for
shipment, buyers are extremely cautious and demand
reductions.

Harvest- in California is reported u making good
progress, and the French, German, and Hungarian
and Russian crop reports continue satisfactory. Mean.
while in Paris, Marseilles, Antwerp, 6:c„, the current
markets arc mostly firm.
There are now 19 wheat cargoes, 6 of maize, and
of barley off coast, on sale ; and 23 summers loaded
with wheat, maize, barley, and sundries, are on
passage, or will be, shortly.
The weeks imports of wheat and flour into the
United Kingdom are only 122,200 qrs., much less
than half of the previous week's bul.c. The visible
supply of wheat and maize in store at the principal
grain depots in America are thus returned :--

AN 01)1.1 OHG&NIZATION.
The Munkards are in conference at Girard, Illinois.
They, as is well known, wear full beards : aol one of the
points hotly debated in the conference a few days ago
whether this rule of wearing tin,hci beards should not
be atimlitled. Full beards tea iiiii plied. Conservatism still
exists. The conference also decided against the brethren
engaging 'in the banking liminess, and against giving
their children collegiate islitcaidopc Dunk.m,
received that name from their enemies—in German,
Tunkers, dippers - they calling themselves simply
Ilrethren. They are German haptists, who were origin-
ally Presbyterians ; and their organization dates lack to

principal church that to stimstenin, in Friczeland ; and
an litg they mine to America. Their mammon of faith
is very like that of the Holland Mennonites. They dress
U Quakers do, plainly ; neither vote nor tight ; will not
go to law or take interest Irvin one another, and ordain
by laying on of hands.
