The corti trade throughout the week hag generally
presented a Ina or improved upset. The supplies of new
wheat have been fair, and all fine qualities hare found a
ready placement ; while the old has been is mon request,
at improved rates. The foreign arrivals of wheat have been
but moderate; end the important feat of Bald. prises being

The barley supply was only 1,700 qn. English, end 480
qrs. from Denmark. There wee a moderate sprinkling of
new English samples toe the morning, and some need's
from the late advance took place, the last IMOD giving but
little ensouragenteat to maltsters; priors, therefore, receded
' the V '

telly le. to 27. per qr. ; and at Kentish staide a still
greater redaction was noted. Foreign grinding qualities
were also easier to buy. There was midge' up on Wednes-
day, yet no improvement took place, and on Friday the
market continued dull, with an arrival, per meat, of only
1.010 qrs.

The oat supplies have greatly fallen off, the principal
supply dais week being Irish, and that only amounting to
7,320 qrs , the foreign to 4,000 qrs., and the English to
2,000 qrs. mime. The exports ega.ll. d the latter. The late
contract for our cavalry exerted little influence, notwith-
standing large purchases, though fine sweet kiln dried
parcels of foreign brought 81. per qr. more'money ; new, on
the contrary, not being generally liked, were again ISti.

there were 2,000 more Irish, and 8,000 more foreign; prices
were folly maintained for all descriptions, bat without a
very ready sale.
With one *ergo of beau from Alexandria, via., 1,872 qrs.,
and 311 qrs. u the English supply, the business transacted
was only moderato, at unchanged rates, and this quiet state
of the trade has eharacterised the week. _ .

Wah bOO qrs. English pew, and 373 qn. foreign, the trade
on Monday rules' dull for white boiler., with some conoession
from the late advance and the eagerness to purchase has
greatly subsided in oeuesquenee of the high rata that have
obtained.

There have beta good supplies and free exports of Boned,
but no farther improvement in price. Cakes continue sale•
able at unaltered vales. The cloversted crop in England
is anticipated as a failure ; the frosty nights we had is
Apgust did much damage, and the late rains have rotted
many of the heads of seed ; so that, with an unusually small
stock to begin with, the rename of the trade must be need
on the Continent and in America : high prices are demanded
for new Blueish and French, and the crop in France is
not well reported. A good deal of white seed has changed
heads at from to 86e. per cwt. Trefoil remains scarce.
Rapeseed coma sperianly to hand, and brings high rates.
New Dutch Itempend is held high. Canary seed and
mustard seed have been dull; and winter tares, tram the
abund sat supply, have again fallen le. per bushel, and yet
hang on band. In other seeds no change.
The markets for wheat in the coutry have generally
shown an upward tendency, farmers being little inclined to
give way, with the opinion that we have less than an average
crop, though plenty of samples have been showing. At
Leeds, Bury St. Edmunds, Newbury, Bishop Btortford,
Woodbridge, and Stowmatket, prices firm; at Boston,
Birmingham, and Wakefield there was a good demand at
Is. advance; at Hull and Bristol a similatimptovemont was
ie some instances realised. Manchester notes a rise of Is. to
2e. on old. Tewksbury was Is. to 25. dearer. Norwich, 2s.
At Newcastle and Stockton-en-Tees, the advance was 24. to
3A. per qr. Liverpool closed 3d. to 4d. per 70 lbs. dearer for
old, and firm for good samples of new ; Sour 6d. to h. per
seek and bend dogtrot ; white lodise cons was worth 47..
Bat little variation is noted in the value of spring corn ; but
barley has mostly boon in sympathy with be L,ndon
market, and has experienced a cheek.
The Bzotch markets have been steady. The reports of
the yield of wheat, though varying, mostly show a defLiency
as compared with last year. At Glasgow new whist has
been in fair request at full prices, and old as well as flour
brought Is. and upwards more. At Leith wheat was Is.
to 2s. dearer, and parcels for end brought from 90s. to
100 e. per qr.
Inds anoint, are more eatidectory as to the quantity of
wheat, but not the qquality ; and oats are reported short.
The new grin is coming pretty freely to market, and real-
ising fair rates. Markets present but little &Benno, from
the last reports. There was a good arrival at Dublin, and
prices wen rather leas ; but prime oats and barley supported
their rates, and ledge oorn was in improved request. At
Wet*, ford both wheat and flour were rather dearer; at
Cork firm.

The Belgian markets generally show • slight decline;
but Antwerp reports prices to be well maintabied, with
liberal supplies of wheat and Indian corn from Galata. At
