THE CORN TRADE.

A continuance of fine growing weather, with Ira
an abundance of rain as to promise a fair quantity hay

both served to check the upward tendency of his tort
market, and occasion some reduction in wheat prim, Os
carefully surveying the numerous agricultural repro Mt
week, it will be seen that more than two thirds d them,
including the whole United Kingdom, are is Lyon ors
good average crop, several entertaining anticipations beteg
it; that the unfavouraole reports are less than onetkn
of the whole, and in most ones limit their complaints
the light land ; and that even on their lands, with garcely
an exception, the wheat plant looks unusually healthy a
its colour, yet that all expect that harvest will tugboat

The country markets have again been auddenlytaken by

In Scotland growers still and good supplies, and the
wheat market has been more steady as to price; hot
spring corn, with the exception of barley, has been oeha4
at easier rates. Sales of flour have taken place at le. tolo
