REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE Ise
DURING TILE PAST WEEK. DU

(From the Mark Lane Erpress.)
The arrivals from abroail,though not on quite so li
heral a wale this week as during the eight days immediutely „t.
preceding, have nevertheless been large for the time of year ;
a considerable nunilar of vessel,, laden with wheat and
Indian corn have again reached our shores from the Black 00
Sea and Mediterranean ; besides which, fair supplies of
vs_ cat, flour, and spring corn have been received from the E
near continental ports. The deliverise from our own growers
have meanwhile increasd more or less ; and, as purchneers xy
have acted very cautiously, the tendency of prices has been er
downwards in most parts of the kingdom. 10
Increased supplies of Barley and Oat; have been brought R.
forward during the last week or two, at most of the country 30,
markets, and prices of both these maids have receded r..;
shout Is. per qr., without inducing buyers to operate ex-
tensively. The weather has been of the sante changeable
nature or before—occasional slight frost at night, generally
succeeded by rain. These variation• in the temperature
have been very unfavourable to the condition of the corn of
lust year's growth. and the farmers supplies have come to
hand in as bad order as at any previous period.
Though the arrivals of Wheat coastwise into the port of so
London have for some time past been small, our millers St.
have hitherto manifested no signs of bring in any want. The 10.-
transactions at Mark-lane hare again been on a very limited rt.
scale this week; and trifling as has been the quantity 1p
brought forward, it has proved amply sufficient for the in
denraml. On Wednesday the Essex stands were nearly
bare, and from Kent there was little offering beyond at.
what was left over from Monday. In this position of of- _II
fairs scarcely any business was done, and, in the absence of
sales of moment quotations remained nominally unaltered.
On Friday there was nn increase in the supply nor improve-
ment in the demand, and matters altogether remained in
much the some position as before. The very bad order in
which the supplies from the farmers continue to come for-
ward influences the averages, and the last return for the
kingdom is only 375. 10d. per qr.
Foreign wheat has not arrived so plentifully this week as
before; but, having had a good ebsplay.of samples; from
granary, and many of the recently received cargoes still
remaining unsold on hoard ship, the quantity offered fur
sale has exceeded what has been required.
The town millers have throughout the week conducted
their operations with extreme caution, and the country in-
quiry has he en of too retail a character to impart any acti-
vity to the demand. Importers have nevertheless remained
tolerably firm, and really fine qualities have not been parted
with at lower terms than those previously current. The
commoner kinds have been neglected, and might in some)
cases have been bought cheaper; but there has been too
little doing to render it necessary to alter quotations. Very
few free-on-board bargains have been closed since Monday;
the offers have rather increased, several vessels wheat-laden
having arrived off the coast. Full terms have nevertheless
been asked for Polish Odessa, &e.
Flour has been very ditlieult of disposal. The top price
for town-made bas remained nominally unaltered, but this
is no guide as to the prices at which other sorts have been
offered. Secondary qualities of foreign have been pressed
on the market, and have been parted with at low and irre-
gular rates. The arrivals from abroad have consisted of
2,931 sacks.
English Barley has come forward rather sparingly since
the close of last week, and the show of samples at Murk-
lane has been small since Monday. Fine malting qualities
would probably bare brought full terms, if any had app-
peered, but the supply has consisted almost wholly of ordi-
nary sorts, and, these being previously plentiful, the pur-
chaser has had the turn in hie favour. Foreign barley has
come forward rather freely, and, though a steady inquiry
has been experienced for good grinding parcels, to succeed
in selling to any extent it has been necessary to make some
slight concession. The value of tine barley approaches too
closely to the price of malt to leave much marque fur profit,
and some of the malteters have left off working; the trans-
actions in the article have been altogether on a retail scale
during the week, and prices have remained precisely as
before.
Besides a good supply of Oats from our own coast and
Scotland, a considerable number of vessels laden with this
grain have arrived from abroad, and the receipts have on
the whole been large for the time of year. Up to Wednes-
day, factors remained tolerably firm, and the business
which was than done was at former terms. On Friday
there was more anxiety to realize, and a decline of Gd. per
qr. was pretty generally submitted to.
Beans and 'rem have throughout the week hung heavily
on hand, hut neither of these articles has been sold cheaper.
We have heard of no sales of Indian Corn afloat; this
late advance baa, however, been supported.
FOREIGN CORN TRADE.
The advises from abroad are of much the same
character as last week, hut the continued dull reports from
hence were evidently beginning to have their influence;

have been relatively higher at the leading Baltic ports than
at Mark-lane, and the recent consignments from Hamburg
and other near ports have in most instances been attended
by loss. There is at this moment so little chance of business
being done with advantage, that many of our regular cor-
respondents have ceased to send their &deices. Fair quali-
ties of red wheat could not be bought at any of the Baltic
ports below Ms. to 365., and fine 36e. to 38s. per qr. free on
board. These prices, with high freights and premiums of
insurance, would bring the cost here considerably above the
value of such qualities in our market.
At Hamburg, on Tuesday, the weather was mild, and
the navigation of the Elbe was free. There was, however,
little or nothing being shipped, and the local demand had
been languid for most articles. Offers of wheat had been
made from outports at slightly reduced rates, without
leading to much buaioess. Pomeranian might have been
bought at 36,. to 365. 3d., and Danish and Holstein at Ms.
to Ms. 9d. per qr. free on board. Barley had, on the other
hand, been held at rather enhanced terms, say 17e. 3d. to
17s. 9d. per qr. free on board. In other articles there had
been little passing. Oats from Jutland had been offered at
13a. 6d. per qr. free on board.
In the Dutch markets scarcely any variation has taken
place in prices for a considerable time past, and but
little appears to have been done fur shipment. At Rotter-
dam, on the 3rd inst., fine white Zealand wheat was
saleable in small quantities for home consumption at prices
varying from 365. up to 41s. Gd. per qr. Of Rhine wheat
there were good stocks ; fine 62 to 62ilbe., 40s. to 41s. 6de
and for good 60145. to 6111a5., Ms. fel. to 375. 6d. per qr. free
on board had been asked.
We have also athicee from the tufted States of more re-
cent dates, the New York letters being of the 29th January.
The export demand for flour had not kept pace with the
supply, and prices had been slightly depressed.
