THE CORN TRADE.

BiItItINORAY, Sim 6.-We had • good deal of rain
up to the 26th et last month, which laid most of the heavy
wheats ; notwithstanding this our prices declined from 4e.
to 6i. per quarter up to that date, the millers bring very
cautions buyers, in consequence et having so little demand
for flour, the consumption of which must have decreased,
as the imports ham been very trifling for some time ; but
the appearance of mildew, combined with unfavourable
reports of the wheat crop in the north of Europe and some
parts of From, and purchases of wheat and fliur made in
this country for the latter, canard rather a sudden re scti n
in price fully amounting to the previous depression. Since
the 25th, the weather has become remarkably fine, and s
large breadth of grain has been secured in excellent condi
tion ; this has rather checked any further advance, and as
the reports from the United States and Canada continue
favourable, we do not anticipate much if any higher range
of prima than prevailed during the past season, unless
France should require large importations, which the advice'
from that country render very probable. We have annexed
extract* from our correspondents as to the state of the crops
in their respective localities, therefore make ao further
remarks, except that in other parts of England, Ireland, And
Scotland, to which these letters do not apply, so far as the
information we have yet received extends, we are of opinion
that though the quantity and quality of the wheat crop will
greatly vary in different districts, yet, upon the whole, it
may not prove much short of an average. Present prime of
wheat are-English new, Bs. 10d. to 9.. 84. ; old, 9s. to
9..10d.; Spanish, 9e 6d. to 10s. per 6211,1. at Birmingham.
The barley crop is almost without exception well reported
of as to quantity, but the quality will vary much, owing to''
so large a portion hating been laid. We ha.• very light
stocks, and the artiele is scarce and advancintr, with little or
none expected from Turkey, all basin been taken for the
Crimea. Turkish for grinding is worth 30e. to 31s. ; Danish,
34e. to 355. per 3921 M. at Birmingham. Our stccks of oats
are also reduced, and prices have advanced 61. to la per
quarter. Irish grey bring 27.. to 28.. ; white, 275. to 295.
per 3121b5. at Gloucester. The value of beans has not
altered during the swath ; we have an unusually smell de.
mend for the season of the year, and it is the general opinion
that there are fewer pigs feeding than usual, and that the
consumption of meat has materially lessened. English
beans are offering at 17s. Gd. to 19s. ; French, 16s. 64. to
175.64.; Egyptian, 161. 6d. to 17s. per 196ihs. at Bir-
mingham. Peas are mane, and sell at 17s. to 18e. per
1961b5. here. Indian corn for feediag is worth 16.. to
16.. Bd. per 1961b5. at Gloucester.-From .11 . Sturges
Monthly Circular.

COBN.—Binaittogag, Barr. 6.—At Gloucester and
Worcester markets, on the ler, the wheat trade ruled dull,
at about the currency of the previous week. Barley Is. per
quarter higher. Oa•ri advenced 6d. per quarter. Beans and
peas fully as dear. Daring the present week no alteration
has taken place in the value of any kind of grain. At
Wolverhampton yesterday wheat was about is. per quarter
higher. At this day's market there was a fair supply of
wheat, and in some issuance an advance was obtained onl
fine samples of new wheat; but w• make no altaratioas in 1
our quotations. Barley le. per quarter d . Oats un-
altered, with a limited demand. The tarn on beans and
peas was in favour of the seller.
DEVIZES, SEPT. 6.—As usual at this swam, we had •
small supply of wheat, which met a free sale at an advance'
of finals. to 2s. per tr. on the closing prices of last week,
when the market was rather improved. The top price of
red was 41s. 6d. per seek. There wereseverel lots of new
wheat of good quality and in fair condition. In barley but
little doing ; there were • few lots of new, the best of which
fetched 375. per qr. In oats, beans, and peas, no alters;
tion. Wheat, best red, 80s. to 83s. ; middling. 691. to 80s.;
inferior, 68s. to 69. Barley, 341. to 37a. Oats, 28a. to
34a. Beans, 465. to 62.. Pco, 431. to 48s. Flour, fine per
sack, 66e. to 61e.; seconds, 635. to 665.
MANCHE/TIN SEPT. 6.—The weather during the past
week has been remarkably fine, and harvest operations have
proceeded with great rapidity. In the south and midland
counties, a large portion of grain will be secured by the end
of this week, whilst in the north district it will require •
continuance of the present favourable weather for ten days
sr a f.rtuight before much of the wheat will be sire. The
accounts of the yield sad quality are very conflicting, but
there seems no doubt it will fall very much, in the former
respect, below the crop of last year. The trade has assumed
• more buoyant tone, and a fair cainsunwive demand for
most articles has bees experienced at folly the previous
currency. Owing to the prevalence of easterly winds, the
arrivals from all sources into Liverpool and 'Runcorn are
very light. We had • good attendance at this 'morning's
market, and a moderate busies., pa slag in wheat and flour
at the full prices of this day as'nnutlit. Choice qualities of
oatmeal were in active request, and 6d. per load dearer.
Oats and beans brought extreme rates.

NEWBURY. SEPT. B.—We bays this day only a moderate

sew was dull, at late prices. Only a retail trade in spring
core.

Obasoow, Barr. 6.—Although the market lost its
edge at close of last woes, there was no apparent
anxiety to sell, both buyers and sellers preferring to await
Loudon accounts of Monday. The improvement reported
there renewed the demand ; but it was weaned more to
inquiry than actual business, from comparative scarcity of
reasonable priced samples. At this day's market some few
sales of wheat were reported at fully last Wednesday's
prices. Fine undried Danish in one instance brought
391. 6d. Barley Is fully 6d. per boll d , end in good
