STATE OF MRS CORN TRADE FOR TIIE
WEEK.

Mitt Laws, Friday Evening.-The leading markets
of, nonsumption have eestanned to be scantily supplied
with home-grown wheat. Both red and white qualities
have changed bagels somewhat freely, at, in some in-
stenos., an &deem: in the quotations oils, per quart..,
and at which fair clearance. have beau effected. lo
foreign wheat-the imports of which have fallen off-s
fair average busing,. has been passing, at late currencies.
We have very tittle change to notice in the value of
either English or foreign barley; nevertheless, selected
samples hue eieunianded extreme rates. Malt has
maintained its previous value; but the demand for it
It has been of a retail character. Good Bound rate ban
moved off deathly, at full prices; but heated qualities
have raked in farina of buyers. Both beau and peas
have moved off steadily, and there has been • good
coasumptivo inquiry for dour, at full quotations:
The imports of f areign produce into Franco from the
Black See ports continue on • very extensive male. Tho
wheat trails has, therefore, become heavy, on easier
terms. All spring corn has commanded very full
prices. Tone, bosrever, has met a fair inquiry. Heavy
aillipments of produce continua to be made from New
York.
In Scotland, there has been a moderate demand for
wheat, at about pi eviou quotations. Barley and oats
have changed bane, freely, savory full prioes ; and most
other articles have sold on former terms. The ship-
ments of products to the South have been an a limited
Advioes front Ireland state that nearly all kinds of
produce lave continued in fair request, at very full
prism. The potato crop is turning out well in some
localities, bid in others the losses are heavy.
, We make the foOowing extracts from Messrs. J. slid
t'. Sturges monthly circular-We have had another
mouth of the most favourable wasther-dry and warm,
. with Just sailleiont rain to supply moisture for the green
crops, and mall.: the farmers to prepare their land,
and on stiff ands, also to sow the wheat. We never
remember so large • crop of all varieties of tut nipe, or
such luxuriant gra .s on the lit of November. The out-
moulding corn what pulse, nader these favourable
conditions, have nf coarse been secured in firstrate
order. The repot t a of the yield do not improve, and
although the farm re' delivenes have been fully as large
as usual at tins..., son of the year, yet new Meet is so
much wanted for mixing with old English, se well us
et de aud inferior foreign, that a rim of 4s. to ss. per
i,oarter during tho month has taken place on the new,
whilst other ileseriptions have only risen 2s to Is. per
quarter, and are i'itheult of sale at the advance. The
demand for Frame has not only entirely osued, but we
hear that re-shipmenta have begun from some of tho
ports to this emu trv. We expect these will be large
during tho uprising winter: foraltheugh we nut notthink
more than belt the quantity purchased on French
account in Adroit nt countries can have been received,
their imports in the months of August and September
were nearly two viillon quarters; and that which has
Arrived is ruoro than can possibly be stored
in the warelamees, or Clan the country
con without difficulty pay for, as shown by
the fact, that the rate of interest in Paris is
now nearly doublo that current in London. It is true
the French prices are not yet much lower than ours,
but they gredually recede, almost every market being
reverted each week rather lower than the last. This has
been particularly the ease with dour: a little time bock
the shortness of eater in the mill streams made this
article relatively much higher than wheat ; but the
supplies from both America and Spain have been on so
lar,re a scale that it is now much cheaper. There has
at I.ingth been sulident ruin in most, if not in all motif
of France, to simile the peasants to complete the wheat
sewing, end we believe the grower will hereafter deliver
moru largely of I. -grown produce. There are still
about the same metier of grain-laden vessels on passage
to the a, nutty fuon porta to tie met of Gibraltar, the
annoher I eine lib .ut 500; whilst there was less wheat
and dour imports l in that month than any other for •
long time pest, may 366,266 qrs. ; • large proportioo of
the veins collie: fur orders having been directed to
France, 11,Igium, .te. The stock of wheat at Gloucester
• lies neateaially ',laced the led few weeks, And we
believe Vie same to be the ease in other ports. The
Recounts of the produce of the harvest
in the United States and Canada continue
faviinrubl.., both as regards quantity and quality.
The shipments from the opening of the
n to the pretwut time have been double those
of the enter DIM, :aid though the means of conveyance
from the interior have greatly increased, the rate of
carriage to the si u board Is in many eases double that
of former years, iudicating that stocks are accumulating
in the interior.
FIIIDAY NIG/le.-At Minh-lane, to-day, the show of
=mph i f Engin'a wheat was moderate, and the trade
ruled firm, as tbu priors of Monday, to, in sonic
few instentaa, • further advance of In. per quarter.
Foreign wheat WWI by no means extensively dealt in
nevertheless, the quotations were well maintained.
Malting hairley moved off slowly, yet no change took
place io its value. Grinding and distilling aorta were
firm in price. The net trade was firm, at full currencies;
and both beans sod peas realised extreme rates. Moat
kinds of dour were in steady request, at full quotations.

plied with beasts, chiefly in very middling condition.

reney. The top quotation was 5s &I per 8 lbs. We
have to report en active inquiry for calves, at aa
prevent, at in value of from 24 to 44 per 8 lbs. The
