THE BRITISH CORN TRADE.

(From the Mark-Mee Exprom)

The weather of the past week has been
thoroughly autumnal, with, however, more rain and cold
than is usual ; bat the general gathering,' being secured, the
rainfall has bees more serviceable than otherwise for operat-
ing in the field. Ploughing has proceeded vigorously, and the
dryness and warmth of the subsoil give fair security that
autumnal 'owing will be favourably sad successfully made.
A good bite of gram is now to be had in the pastures but
lately almost burnt up, sod the root crops, partly stunted by
too much dry weather, have been mating rapid progress, so
that cattle seem likely to be well provided for, through the
coming winter. Of course the broken Weather has much
affected the condition of the late gathernap ; but the quantity
seriously damaged appears u yet to have been very small,
and more especially limited to barley. With markets
plentifully supplied, and Loudon accounts noting a farther
reduction, it was to be expected that a further decline in
wheat would take place, and the average fall may be esti-
mated at 2a per quarter. dome markets, however, were
little disposed to yield, and rates have now become so low
for a quality nausually fine, that farmers, if not under pre&
sure, may be paid for waiting for a more favourable opporta-
shy to quit ; the more especially should the political
hceison become darkened by untoward events,
se our undoubtedly excellent crop ma scarcely
be viewed as so over abundant as to make es
wholly independent of foreign aid. Coetimental prior
seem again pointing downwards, but sot, however, so
decidedly as to give any thence of profit to importers.
France keeps gradually giving way : Belgium and Holland
slowly follow ; and Germany emus waiting for the English
markets to determine future values. New York has re-
lapsed again into deicer, and there seems no help for
Northern and Western produce without pesos.
The arrivals off the oust awe 18th September were 50
cargoes, of which 211 cargoes were wheat, two barley, and
19 maize. The business reported was as follows_ :--Ohirka
