expectation of our obtaining the usual supplies from that'
direction, and if the present buying in our markets of
wheat and flour for France be legitimate and well founded
and followed up to any extent, serious results affecting
prices may follow. The American advice, early in the
season represented the wheat crop there as unu-
sually ab,.ndant. Our &deices by the last two

Glasgow, are quoted at 9d. to 10d. per bushel on grain, and
' 6d. to bs. per barrel on flour. In Mr. Edward Bill's
aircular. dated New York, September 18, he gives a com-
parative table, showing the extent of exports from all the
ports of the United States to England and Ireland, for
several years, from which we take the liberty to extract as
follows.—" The table of exports to England and Ireland,
made up with great care from the moat reliable saurus to
the end of the cereal year, shows a large falling off fr,ns
previous seasons, with the single exception of Indite corn,
which is in excess of last year nearly 79,000 qrs."

staple, wheat, neither in quantity nor quality; that we
have not the usual expectation of supply from the Baltic ;
that our Mediterranean supplies are uncertain; and that
our dependence to supply the assumed deficiency will fell
principally, so far as we are able to form an opinion at pre•

wheat and flour, and other tartlet:, held here (except
Indian corn) aro very light, and probably not much over
one•half what they were at the same period last year. 01
Indian corn a considerable quantity is in store.
