of eight or ten days, ls. 6d. to 2s. per qr.; and moderate
qualities of new, weighing only 59 to 60 lbs. per bushel,
were then selling at 88s. 6d. to 395. per qr. free on board
and the general runs of high.mized, weighing from 60
to 611 lbs., were quoted 395. 6d. to 40s. per qr. Of floe
qualities of old hardly any stocks remained; moderately
good parcels of high mixed had been hold at 425. to 435.
per qr. free on board. The Vistula was free from ice,
and some quantity of wheat had come down, but scarcely
sufficient to satisfy the demand. The rye speculation had
rather slackened, the article was, however, still quoted 351.
to 375. per qr.
The advice. hose Stettin are not of quite so animated a
character as lee week, the very high prices demanded gee
both wheat and rye having checked business. A few con-
tracts for the former article, foe spring delivery, were said
to have been closed at very full rates, but no particulars
are given. The rates asked had been 41s. to 425. per qr.
for red wheat, weighing 81 to 621bs , delivered free on board
in spring ; 265. 64. for Pomeranian barley of 52Ibs. weight,
and 18e. for 3816 e. oats.
From Rostock we learn that previous prices had been
well maintained; for fine new wheat, weighing 6211b5. per
bushel, equal to ffis., and for old 38s. 6d. per qr. had been
paid. Stocks of old had become greatly reduced, and the
supplies of sew had been on a moderate scale. The !value
or barley had rather tended upwards, owing to a demand ,
for Norway. Eye had been in lively request, and has
brought equal to 33e. 9d. per qr. free on board.
At Hamburg, on Tuesday last, there was much less left
in the grain trade Sun the week before, but *tilers were
not disposed to male any concession, the extreme terms
previously current being generally insisted on. Wahren
wheat, of ellbs. weight, deliverable in spring, could not
have hems bought below 445. ; and for the same weight.,
fres on Ward. at Heeklenharg, Holstein, or Pomeranian
ports, 41s. Bd. to 43a. 6d. per qr. had been asked. In
other articles there was net much passing, but very
high prices had been. asked for both barley and oats,
say 235. 34. for the former, and 16s. 91. to 17s. per qr.
for the latter, weight per bushel respectively 531bs. to 5111 e.
and 381bs.

In the Dutch markets wheat seems to have rather re-
ceded in value, and the trade was decidedly quiet at Rot-
terdam on Mo;day.
Emden letters of the let instant state: that supplies of
oats had slightly increased, but all that had come to hand
had been readily taken for shipment. For bastard brews,
weighing 39th.., equal to 16s. 6d. to I6s , and for fair com-
mon brews 16s. 6d. per qr. free on board had been paid.
Beans had been a good deal inquired for, and 245. to 265.
per qr. had been paid for floe kiln-dried samples.
From France we have nothing new in a commercial
runt of view, the political convulsions in that kingdom
having put a total stop to business at all the principal
markets.

We have advice, of recent dates from America, by which
we learn that the weather had become cold, and an early
closing of the inland navigation being deemed probable,
holders of wheat and flour at the ports on the coast had
exhibited rather Increased firmness. A fair export demand
had been experienced, and shipments to some extent were
being made regularly, from week to week, for Great
Britain.
