TER CORN TRADE DURING THE PAST WEEK.

BRITISH.
We have had • very rough and rainy week for
field operations, and congratulate those fortunate growers
who got their seed wheat into the ground under previous
favourable circumstances; for, with a forward strong plant,
then is a oorresponding preparation to resist the casualties
of a variable season. -The supplies at the several markets
have generally been fair, and the upward tendency of
prices has been checked, though foreign arrivals have con-
tinued on a limited scale. But the fact that there is yet a
good amount of old wheat appearing help to relieve the
aossetin which have been entertained as to the deficiency of
the new crop, and serves to show how extreme were the
slams once entertained by some writers as to the wants of
the nation being supplied. Calculation for the future on
the other hand have been made of a favourable kind to quiet
the fears which still obtaia in some quarters, and hasty
°occlusions have been drawn from entirely superficial
surveys. Now, without statistics before us, these
calculations must be based upon fancy rather than
upon facts, and these latter are nearly ~striated
to the importations of foreign for a Serial of years.
Without approaching the confines of alarm, we do hear
from the lips of many respectable farmers that some fields
this year lave only yielded twenty bushels to the acre, and
that land of the some stamp last year yielded fifty to silty
bushels ; while the thinness of the grain in many eases
shows there was a serious blight. To suppose the increased
breadth to amount to one fourth, or 26 per tient., G
world r
fleetly gratuitous. We should say that a tenth woul be
found nearer the mark ; for the cultivation of as much
wheat as possible is always the farmer's aim ; the terms of
his lease, as well as the power of the soil, however, fis •
limit which he cannot safely pass. We hope, and fully be-
lieve, that England wiU not go short; but the fair yield of
some farms we think not esounk to make up the deficiency
of others, and it would be unwise to ignore the wants of our
allies when the millers of Freon have again appeared on
our market, to make good tholes gannets which their own
supplies do not so readily permit. It is much better to
sake a timely and wise provision against starcity than
to be suddenly startled by the appalling fact stsriag as in
the fans. The deliveries last week were 141,708 qn., at
78e. 4d., against 14t,852 qn., at 80e. 7d_ .. last year. The
foreign arrivals for the week ending 24th October were
37,423 qrs.
The wheat market, on Monday, onanesomil on a supply
far the previous week, consisting of 7,100 qrs. home grown,
650 from Spain, and 6,200 from New York. This latter
arrival le below expectation in quality, being light, and
some grains partially smutted, and, if a fair sample of the
prods°s of the United State+, would indicts the yield to be
over-ratod. The exports were 1,900 qrs. The morning's
