REVIEW OF Tlfit CORN TRADE.

Dullness baa again been the characteristic of the grain
trade. At Mark -Lane. wheat, owing to its condition, has
been almost unsaleable, and quotations have been alto-
gether vrithoutvariation and nominally unaltered. The pro-
bablity of an ituprovement upon current rates remains very
moderate. There may be some slight advancement as
the season wear*, but it will be idle to anticipate any
aPPrecialhi rim unlesa the growing crop should
experience aome reverse, or some hindrance should
be offered to spring sowing. The occurrence of
either of these eventa would of course altogether change
the conditions of the market. In their absence we may
look for continual quietness. There RIM at present about
I.fiCklloo .irk on Passage against 1,513,000 ,irs at this time
last year. South Australian advices anticipate a surplus
of about 2g).000 teas of wheat for export,
Data have ruled 6d. per ,g. higher on the week; but
