The subjoined remarks on the position of the corn
trade, as affected by the present political dispute.
are extracted from the circular issued this evening
by a City house :
The threatening Russo-Turkish question continues to
exercise a marked influence on the corn trade. It is be-
lieved that this ill-starred affair will eod, at the worst, in a
I diplomatic skirmish. Still, the uncertainty of what is to
follow interferes injuriously with the regular course of bu•
sines!. The combined firm attitude of England anti
France enabled Turkey to resist the Russian aggression.
England is interested as deeply as Russia and Turkey iu
the preservation of peace. A war would deprive the teem-
ing industrious population of these isles of one of the rich-
est sources of good cheap bread ; and the English manu-
facturer would lose an already important and daily ex-
tending market for his produce. At this moment about
600 grain-laden vessels, with about 1,000,000 quarters.
worth more than 1,600,0001., from ports east of Gibraltar,
are computed to be on the way. The fertile countries
washed by the Danube belong to commerce, to progress,
and civilisation, not to war, with its ruin and barbarism.
Oa Thursday, the 2nd of June, the Bank of England raised
the rate of discount to 31 per cent., which to some extent
with-heck the upward tendency of the corn markets. Since
last Wednesday, the weather has become milder, with
winds alternating from north-east to its opposite quarter.
These last few days the growing crops arestated to be much
improved in appearance. The season is still complained of
as being very backward, and from the small surface of land
sown with wheat a small wheat crap is expected, but the
quantity of spring corn sown is larger than usual. Yester-
day the day was very fine, and to-day promises to be the
same. Ic Ireland and Scotland the weather is reported
as dry and parching, but on the whole the appearance of
the growing crops is reported favoureblo. Shipping con-
tinues scarce, and freights have again advanced. Owiog to
the warlike aspect in the east, few vessels for those quarters
are found, even at high rates. Odessa, Ils. 6d.; Galatz,
13s. 6i. to lie, per qr. The supply of English grain at our
markets continues small; this deficiency is amply compen-
sated by the heavy arrivals from the north of Europe. Cons-
partitively little has arrived from the eolith ; in our port and
off the coast no arrival is reported this week, but it is ex-
' petted that a change of wind will bring in the large fleet of
grain-ladenseseels now on the way to the United Kingdom
from ports east of Gibraltar. This week has been one of
considerable excitement in the corn trade. Prices, stimu-
lated by the political aspect of the east and the Impala'
weather, have risen in almost all the leading markets of
Great Britain.
