THE CORN TRADE.- Biatenronem, Ocr. 3.-
Throughout the pest month the weather has been
almost uniformly fine, end with the exception of beans,
farmers have secured the whole of their crops in
goad eider. So tar as we can judge of the repents
of its yield, the wheat crop, where thresbed in the midland
and northern counties, though materially less than last
year, is about an average one, both in quantity end quality;
bat that in the south of England appears to be more del
cleat. Our growers have supplied the markets very freely,
yet the deduce has not exceeded Is. to 2s. per quarter upcn
oar highest %menthols. The large purchases made for
France have of course had en important influence in main-
taining penes, and these purchases have extended to the
midland markets of England-a °impudence we believe
quite unprecedented. Aithough prices in Fresno are now
rather d alining, they are still sufficiently high to leave a
good margin for profit on exports from this country. Not-
withstanding the imports of lour have nearly ceased, and the
demand for export, also the want of water for the country
mills, our millers complain that they find a very slow home
sale fee flour ; this is a clear indication that the consumption
mast have leseesed, arising no doubt from the high price
and consequent inability oa the part of the working dames
to use as much bread as usual, combined with the moderate
rise sad good quality of potatoes. Although the weather
during harvest was so fine, a great proportion of the new
wheat is in middling condition, and of course will not
improve until we again have dry or frosty weather; it is
therefore expected that foreign and old English will be
relatively high for some mouths to come. While the
markets in France are so much higher than ours, most of
the former description will be directed to that country,
where the crop proves so deficient that the range of prices
must, we Oink, rule high to long as the war continues'
whatever measures the government may take to prevent it.
Some parts of the north of Europe, which usually export
largely, are said not to have grown enough tnis year for
their own consumption, and to require importations of
foreign to supply the deficiency. In the United Btates
prier have not declined so as to leave • sufficient margin
to admit of a profit on exports from thence to England,
their currency being now about on • par wi•ti
ours ; we therefore think that the quantity likely
to be drawn from thence is greatly over estimated.
Barley is reported to be a very heavy crop, hut sloes the
supply from Egypt, the Mediterranean, die., which for a
number of years has found its way to Greet Britain, is now
directed to the Crimea. our prigs for all descriptions have
advanced 3s. to 4s. per quarter. Feeding qualities are very
scarce, but in consequence of the high price, there is, for
the season of the year, very little demand, and few pig.
compered with former years will be fed, notes& a decline in
the price of fettling stuff takes place Grinding qualities of
barley are worth 365. to 375. per 392ibs. at Birmingham.
The Crop of oats proves a lull , and as the imports of
this article are not so much effected by the war, the foreign
supply bits been good ; but our stocks are very much re.
duced, and we hear of no foreign, and not many Irish
shipments to Gloacteter. Irish white are selling ar 295. to
30.. ; grey, 28s. to 295. ; Dutch, 33e. ; Scotch, 32a. per
312th.. at Gloucester. Beans ere a full average produce,
but a great part is still in the fields ; their value has ad-
vanced about 411 per qr.; few sew ones have yet appeared
at market, but *ha quality is said to be very fine. Egyp.
thin are held for 17. CI,;• old French, 181. 64.; old Erik-
lisb, 20s. to 21e., all per 1961 be. at Birmingham. The crop
of peas is likewise reported to be large, and some
qaaatity has been brought to market ; the first realised
16s. 64. to 125.; subsequently they have reached 181. to
18e. 6d. for grey, whilst white grinding qualities sell slowly
et 19.. to 19s. W. per 1961t05. at Birmingham. A few car-
goes of Egyptian and other secondary qualities of Indian
corn have arrived at Glossiest's, the first sold readily at 164.
to 16e 6d. per 1961 b. ; since then the price has advanced to
17s. and 12s. fld , but this ha, very much checked the sale.

qrs.-From M . Sturge's Monthly Cirenfer. A toot
note to the circular says " Even it the war were brought to
• termination, a considerable time mast elapse before any
large supplies could strive at the Es tern ports of Europe
from the iatorior of Runts. The allied fleets have t only
destroyed a large portion of the wheat belonging to private
merchants, lying in the depots un the coat, but by each
measures prevent say further accumulation of grain there
until the restoration of peace and security."
