TILE BRITISH CORN TRADE.

- - - - - -----
With the harvest cart going merrily early and late
the corn markets have naturally been depressed as
regards the extent of business, but prices have changed
but little.
New Zealand wheat at 585., Australian at 60s.
may be considered ios. lower from their top spring
quotations, when= English sorts have not varied 35.
in six months, a course indicated in these columns, as
probable, since
_January.
On Wednesday, the fine weather influencing
business, the trade was called technically "sick,

Maize in limited request, makes 335, 6d. for arrived
cargoes 480 lb., or 375. for Danubian 492 lb. There
are some zo wheat, and to maize cargoes on sale off
coast. A merchant just returned from the United ,
States speaks of the winter wheat crop as very good,
and the American official estimate places it at 4 Per
cent, above an average. The spring sown and maize
crop are not considered an average.
I This week in Mark. Lane, we have seen samples of
New Odessa wheat of better quality than grown of
late years, prices 48s. 6d. for October shipment. A
sample also of new wheat from Tennessee has been
exhibited of superior quality, and foreign shippers are
undoubtedly making strong efforts to forward grain
rapidly to the United Kingdom. This is the ease in
Austna, France' Russia, Spain, and America. The
English fanner has, however, the advantage over the
foreign producer, in first supplying his own country.
From latest information and estimates we have no
grounds to suppose the harvest yield will be different
from our estimates already given. A large crop in
Essex and Sussex, in Kent and other favoured counties,
will more than balance the exceptional deficiencies
of a few unlucky localities.
The other Port markets of the kingdom show no
special feature from that of London, and at Liverpool,
Hull, Ipswich, 6:c., on Tuesday, trade was restricted
at about former prices, any changes made favouring
buyers,.

At I.ieth and Glasgow on Wednesday, wheat was
' IS. to 2s. per quarter lower to buy. The last two
months' import of American wheat are reckoned to
have caused heavy loss to the Scotch merchants.
The Inland English markets have had but small
attendances, and a retail consumptive demand.
Prices are very irregular according to supply, red
wheat. 48s. to 545.; white up to 58s. Any samples
of good malting barley realise high figures, 455. to
50s,

most of them were in bad condition ; the highest price
that could be obtained was 28s. 6d, a sack.
On Friday at Mark-lane business limited. New
English wheat in increasing supply, and rather
variable condition. Sales progressed slowly, at
drooping currencies ; old samples realised rather less
money ; foreign wheat in large supply end difficult to

moderate supply; trade duiet, on former terms. Malt
sold at late rates. A fair average supply of oats ;
trade quiet at previous prices. Maize inactive at late
currencies. Beans and peas quiet but firm. Flour
dull. At Derby the business transacted in new wheat
was at a reduction of 35. to 4.5. per qr. from last week's
terms. Old slow of sale, and unaltered in value. At
I.incoln a dull trade, holders having to accept 35. to
45. per qr. less money on new parcels. At I.iverpool
only a limited demand for wheat, white descriptions
declining in value ad. to 3d ; red, yl. to 4d. per
cental from the rates of Tuesday last. Flour : Little
or no business reported ; quotations reduced 6d. to is.
per barrel and sack. At Wakefield very little demand
for wheat, and new is purchasable at quite 35. per qr.
less money than last week, the ruling rates for white
being 58s. to 62.5., and red scn. to w. per qr.
