REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORK TRADE.

(Prom the MankAas Express.)

The bulk of the baryon being gathered in •

have teen serviceable to the grass and root mope. The mil
was also in want of a fall of main for the purpose of tillage,
especially as the seams wee piling late. Coaatry inariets
have been well, but not heavily supplied, and new wheat
ham again declined, may about 2s. per qr. ea the average,
partly from its damp sad inferior quality, bat chisdy from
the matinnous heavy foreign supplies, which everywhere
ask* millers careless buyers. But miens not yielding in an

inferior qualities, amens to get her fresh supplies frealyplaced
at previous currency. France, which was commeseiag
shit:moots under her new law, has hardened her prices at
Paris, and several markets in Belgium and Holland almost
tempt British consignments by their quotations ; and
though the Adriatic ports Trieste and Venire rather yield,
nothmg MI be dose to advantage with these places cm pre-
sent terms.

British and European &deka generally bear rather
lowered rata at New York ; but the summer of the Confe-
derates may divert some of the much-needed supply of
breadatuffs to the South, or should winter set is early, we
may be left to the Baltic and Mediterranean till stopped by
frost or the relative position of markets. Mao places in
the hiterior of Germany appear to be little influenced by
foreign quotations, their old stocks being worked up clam,
and the new failing to arrive in sufficient plenty ; we may
therefore yet find a rally before Chratmas.
The arrivals off the coast sire the 19th September were
25 cargoes, of which 14 cargoes were wheat, 6 cargoes mein,
and 5 cargoes of beans, barley, and rye ; the liminess re-
ported was as follows :—Berdianski wheat at 45e. ; &Edo-
mirka, 465. 6d. ; Ghirka. 43a. ; winter American, 505.;
amber, 46a. ; Said;, 33e. 3d. to Us. ; maize, 29e. 6d. to
29e. 9d. • Seidl beaus, II& 6d. ; rye, 32a 6d. and 325. 100.
per qr. ior the continent.
The sales noted last week were 86,467 qrs. wheat, at
Ma. 9d., against 144,079 qrs. in 1861. The London ave-
nge, were 545. 4d. on 3,160 qrs. The imports into the
United Kingdom for the week ending the 20th of Septem-
ber were 315,822 qra wheat, 168,948 cwts. Sour.
Monday'ss
wheat trade in London commenced on a mode.
rate E • h supply, with a heavy foreign arrival, a large
portion being from America. Not many samples this mono-
log were on the Kentish or Essex stands ; but there was
an unmoral &goes& from the fineness of the weather for a
week past, and the quantity of foreign on show. Prices,
therefore, gave way 2s. per qr., and very little progress
was made at the reduction. There being but few cargoes
for sale on the coast, they were held at former quotations ;
but the London supply was quite Is. to 2s. per qr. cheaper,
with very little doing. The least reduction was on fine old
Dentric. On Wednesday there were 490 qrs. per coast, with
9,790 qrs. foreign. There was no improvement then on the
previous market, there being many samples left over, and
only the beet fresh among them being easily placed at former
rates, and inferior were certainly more difficult to quit. The
foreign trade was equally dull, and almost confined to retail
timpani. in granary, of approved bulks. Friday's returns
were 1,160 qrs. ocestwise, and 13,540 qrs. from abroad.
Several of Mooday's samples were then on hand, and these
not being fine hung 'on hand at the close of business, and
must add to the show of next Monday, with possible injury
to prices. Fine foreign still bold in small quantities, at un-
changed values, but cargoes wanted out could not be cleared
unless at lower rake. _ _ _

The supply of country flour was good, and plentiful from
abroad, though not so heavy as of late. Noriolks were Is.
per sack cheaper, with a slow sale. American berreb, of
common and inferior descriptions were down 13d. to le per
barrel. French and Spanish were Ia per barrel low ; but
the top price of town•made sorts released at 61". per sack.
Wednesday's quantities were Whacks per coast exclusively.
Notwithstanding tl a absence of foreign arrivals. Norfolk"
remained but • dull sale, with prima scarcely sustained, and
American barrels, unless fine, were quite neglected. Town
prices, however. continued without change. Fridarasnret
turns were 1,490 wicks coastwise, and 870 sacks 820
foreign. Busters remained exceasively dull in country
sorts, though values remained nominally the same, end the
same may he said of foreign qualities of all descriptions.
There was a rather better supply of English barley on
Monday, and good arrival' from foreign ports. The new
English malting on offer, not being hoe, was le. to 2s. per
qr. lower, and the best foreign yielded also in value ; but
grinding sorts, though dull, were unchanged in value. Oa
Wednesday there were 10 qr per coast, 2,089 qrs. f
The small supply gave no stimulus to trade ; the few aao:72Ze
of English malting, wanting in quality, remained negl ,
and so did secondary foreign, though grinding met with
retail demand at former prices. Friday's returns were 359qrs.
per coast, and 2,470 qrs. foreign. 1 here was then no change
in the trade, the few samples of English on show remaining
without inquiry, and foreign only gelling in small quantities.
The malt trade remained quiet on Monday, with values
unaltered. The week dosed with price pointing down-
ward.

,1 With an increased supply of New Eriglish can on Monday
'an average arrival was not exceeded. Yet the trade was
uncommonly dull, and the idea of plentiful English supplier
brought new corn down Is. per qr. Even the best sweet
old foreign scarcely maintained their former value, and in.
tenor sorts wage rather ia buyers' favour. On Wednesday
there were so arrivals per coast, or from Ireland ; but
10,350 qrs. foreign. New English sod inferior foreign con-
tinued dull, with prices rather in favour of buyers ; but
sweet old corn of all deem. 'Fitions obtained thi previous
prices. The returns of Friday were 120 qrs. coastwise,
nothing from Ireland, 11,780 qn. foreign. Trade generally
was heavy, especially in new corn, which sold at rather lee
money ; but Ike old remained without alteration in vales.
The supply of native beans on Monday was short, with not
many foreign snivels. Business was, however, tenslack.
and rates of inferior aorta were scarcely maintained. Friday's
market was inanimate, but no cheap of price could be
noted in either English or foreign.
There was a very limited supply of pees on Monday, with
only • moderate quantity of home-growth. New English
of all sorts, both for boiling and f lig, were unaltered in
value ; but the lower descriptions of foreign white wen
cheaper. A demand for foreign feeding white was expe-
rienced on Friday as well as for good boilers, at former rates.
The supply of linseed was again very small, and though
there were no exports, prices roes 21. per qr., and cakes ad-
vanced ss. to 104. per ton. High as micas are, there Beene
little chance of any reduction from the poor crops and small
stocks in the places of growth. The week closed firm.
In cloveneed scarcely anything has been doing, and it is
the ram, with trefoil. Mustardseed, on a heavy reduction
from the ant prices, has been more readily filmed. Tares
hays rather given way. Canaryesed hes commend more in
favour for good qualities. Other seeds have beau much the
