Dodds are, however, entertained as to whether the po-
tties apparently sound will keep, and supplies of the
article are therefore likely to be forced on the markets,
which will certainly tend to interfere with the con-
sumption of other kind/ of food, more especially bread.
The importations from the continent of Europe have not
been very large of late ; but from America the receipts into
Liverpool and other ports on the west coast have been ra-
ther liberal. In the present state of affairs, old foreign
wheat has become almost unsaleable (the new English being
in At condition to grind without being mixed with old) ;
imparters have, therefore, no alternative but to land, and
in the face of a bountiful harvest, stocks of wheat in

ligaments his abroad for a time, but sooner or later the
narphs_ pew& of the rest of the world will be thrown on
the &lAA markets. By our letters from Scotland, it ap-
pears that up to Tuesday very wet weather was experienced
in that country, more particularly along the western
coast; subsequently, however, it became more auspicious,
and the accounts from Edinburgh state that harvest work,
which bad for some time been interrupted, had been ac-
tively resumed. It is yet too early to offer an estimate of the
probable result of the crops in that part of the kingdom;
but from what we have at present been enabled to collect
we are inclined to think that farmers in the north will have
less reason to be satisfied than those of the south. The
potato disease is said to prevail rather extensively in Scot-
land. Samples of new wheat, barley, and oats appeared at
Edinburgh market on Wednesday ; the quality is by no
means highly spoken of, and it is not improbable that some
of our fine southern wheats may be required in the north.
The reports from Ireland continue favourable in regard to

The show at Mark-lane by land from
Essex and Kent has, however, been Mon-
day, and the offers from the east coast have not been vary
numerous. The millers have throughout the week con-
ducted their operations with extreme caution, and there wee
certainly less inclination to buy at the close than in the
begiumng of the week . owing, however, to the smallness of
the quantity on sale, prices were not quoted lower on
Friday than before. The excellent condition in which the
new wheat has come to hand has naturally interfered
with the sale of old, a lens quantity of the latter being re-
quired for mixing than usual. The country inquiry for
foreign wheat has almost wholly ceased, and the town millers
have latterly confined their operations to very narrow limits.
The arrivals from abroad have, during the week, amounted
to 10,772 qes. This supply embraces several cargoes from
Dansig end the Lower Baltic ports, of good quality, and

as earlier in the week. The inquiry for foreign grind-
ing barley has not fallen off materially, and former rates
have been steadily supported. Malt has not excited much
attention, and its value has remained nominally unaltered.

The advice* from the north of Europe are of much the
Isame character as for some weeks past. Business appears
to hare been nearly brought to a stand at the principal
Baltic ports, in consequence of the total want of export de-
mand, and in this state of things prices had not varied ma-
terially. With the exception of a short interval of wet
about the close of August, the weather had, on the whole,
been favourable for harvest work, and we are still in-
clined to think that, notwithstanding a partial failure
of the rye crop in some districts, the north of Europe will
produce a considerable quantity of corn for exportation.
Our Daurtic letters are of the Ist instant. During the

was progressing, and though the crops were not very highly
spoken of, still the prevailing impression was that the yield
land quality would not be inferior to good average seasons.
At Konigsberg, 29th ult., the weather was cold and wet,
and the result of the harvest was not by any means highly
estimated. The little new wheat which had appeared at
that market had proved of rather inferior quality and
light weight; under these circumstances holders of old bad
shown no disposition te lower their pretensions, and prices
in that quarter are relatively much above ours. From
Stettin we learn that though some quantity of rain had
fallen, the wheat trade had continued depressed,
and prices had given way Is. per qr. Vessels

would, it was believed, prove a good amp in quantity and
quality ; but rye was said to be defective in both points,
