THE BRITISH CORN TRADE.

(From the Mark-lame Irwin.)

With the return of fob), one week's fine weather
the fears respecting the late gatherion have bees happily
dispelled, and the amount of injury low been mostly limited
to the condition of the wimples. There are some aelds,
however, in the late moorlands of Soothed and Ireland pot
not yet cut ; but the breadth is not large enough to make
any material change in our views of this year's hervest,
which is undoubtedly excellent, and beyond the avenge of
seasons throughout the kingdom. The late potatoes, too,
have been protected from the disease by the return of dry
weather. In the southern and midland counties the plough
lass been very active since the rain, and there is every pros-
pect of beginning the autumnal sowings very favourably.
The change has stopped the upward tendency of prices, and
wheat has generally given way fully 21. per qr., while soma
fall markets note a heavier decline. Prices on the continent
ban not manila'', changed, but then is more general
satisfaction with regard to the quantity and quality of the
corn, Hungary excepted. America, still divided spied
itself, has yet found more kindling to Providence than
amongst the rulers of her disunited States, both as
the North and South. France, Belgium, sod heic=
rather note a tendency downwards; bat the more northerly
German markets make little difference from the previous
quotations. In Canada the markets have boon neressingly
heavy for breadstuff' ; but the rise in gold, as well as the
exchange at New York, has made • corresponding increase
in the quotations of flour and wheat, while aa early and
wide-spread frost has sent up Indian corn, from anticipated
damn to the studios crops.
The arrivals off the coast since the 11th inst. were only
7 cargoes of maim. The sales reported were as follows:
Canna wheat, 375, to 375. 6d. per qr. ; Saida to 33e. 6d. ;
amber American to 39e. ; maize from 96a. to 275. 6d. ; bar-
ter
from 23a. to 24e. 9d. ; Oast: rye for the continent to

732,964 quarters wheat, and 696,199 cwts. flour.
Monday in Militaries commenced on fair supplies of
oa wh', both English and foreign. During the morning
there was a good show of samples from Honk but not many
from &MI ; the condition not quite so good as heretofore,
but, with a rotors to fine weather, sales were veerryy slow at
• deelioe of fully Is. per quarter. The foreign bonipsr was
inactive, and decidedly In favour of buyer, at • Itke decline,
though • few sales were made at former rates. Cargoes
afloat, though held on previous terms, were placed with
difficulty. Oa Wednesday there were 530 quarters per
coed, with 5,700 quarters foreign. This was • very quiet
day, and the fresh samples of English, as well as those over
1^ went off very slowly at the prices of the previous Mon-
: day. The foreign trade we. equally inactive, but prime
were quoted much the same. Friday's returns were 850
I quarters °malaise, and 10,380 quarters foreign_ With an
entire week's fins weather and dull secants from the
country, it became more difficult to place estbples, unless at
some reduction. The foreign trade remand very limited,
and to make des freely lees must have been taken.
There was a good arrival of country floor on Monday, and
a moderate supply from America and other foreign ports.
Norfolk. were very dull, though held at the former quota-
tions, and only favourite marks were readily pieced. To
sell barrels it was necessary to give way 6d. per barrel, ex-
cepting for the very finest qualities. Town malaise were
ushered, the top price remaining 43e. Oa Wednesday
there were 370 sacks coastwise, 'Ma 220 barrels. Though
supplies were so limited there was no activity in the demand
either foe country marks or American !amok, the prime of
both remaining about the same. Friday's returns were 810
seeks per coast, with 20 sacks 220 barrels foreign. There
Iwas then en increased dinner in the trade, and to make
sales freely it would have been necessary to take rather leas
mosey for all descriptions.
There was a very short supply of barley on Monday,
the English arrivals being very scanty, and scarcely
any from abroad. Fine malting being scarce folly
supported the previous prices, but medium aorta of
English were dulL Foreign was firm, especially
grinding descriptions, then being so little in the market.
On Wednesday there wen 390 quarters par coast, and 370
quarters foreign. The limited arrivals kept prices at their
former range, but there wan no great anxiety on the
ms of buyers to increase stocks. Friday's quantities were
quarters per coast and 4,850 quarters foreign. The
mail sag sorts commanded former rates, and there was no
change
The malt trade was very steady, and the beat qualities
quite as dear, the new samples appearing being well ap-
proved. Business closed firm, but quiet, at the close of the
week. _ _

There was another heavy supply of foreign oats on Mon-
day, with an increase is the quantity of home-growth,
making quite a full market. Business bavingm
Tinily been very slack the increased arrivals seat is
further down 6d. per quarter, and at this reduction buyers
made their purchases very leisurely, being mostly well
Maned. On Wednesday there were no arrivals per ant,
but WKS quarters Irish, and 33,660 !marten foreign. With
suck good arrivals from abroad Mimosas was but slow not.

Friday's returns wen nothing orestwiaa. MO quarters from
fraud, and 66,560 quarters foreign. With some pressure
on the market, °argon that were wanted out were oom-
sionally sold at less mosey, and the whole trade was dull.
Bat few English bane were at market on Wean, sad
the foreign arrivals wan IMO. The trade was inanimate,
but prices much the same. The new samples on show were
of fair qua ity and in good condition. Friday's market was
within change.
There was a rrederate arrival of English pros, bunco/cell
Eng from abroad. With but little demand for this
prime were about the same for all aorta. The week

The linseed amply was short ; but, with more favourable
dykes of the new coop from some plane, prices were
mainly entaind ; cakes, however, sold vary freely. There
was, no alteration as Friday. _ _

Buyers belief appeared to clear the stands of mustard
seed during the previous week, more money was demanded
far fresh samples, which boyars refused paying. Winter
tares lain loom plentiful were rather in bers' favour.
Cloverseed, trefoil, canary, rape, and other seeds were much
as previously quoted.
With dull advises from London on Monday, and a coati.
aware of flue weather, the wheat trade io the country wee
generally slack—more especially as some markets were
largely supplied. Boetoo gave way 4e. per quarter. Hall,
Louth, fitocktoe. and Manchester were 2s. to 3a parr
cheaper. Burr St. Edmonds noted a docilee of 'L, par
quarter. Berasiey, Newark, 17ppingham, Deventry, and
Worksop were down Is. to 2e., sad very many Is. per
quarter. The Saturday's markets were mostly 22a. to 3s.
