THE CORN TRADE. Bien thourat, 3liacn I. Dudes Au
past month our markets have been In a very iturnimeree state, Um*
the imports of foreign wheat continue comparatively emelt ; the rm. O.- •

we think the price would have ranged from 20s. to Ha pee

quarters of wheat were exported in 1853 by countries hum which
now prohibited or suspended owing to tee war hoeing benign*

grounds on which it was based :—The returns publi Ltd by the goo
