cannot at present be aseartalaed; bat that en alteration for
the worse has taken plies in the general aspect of the swop
is, we fear, too true. Owing to the favourable remit of the
corn harvest, a partial failure of the potato would not he so
severely felt this as is some previous seasons; and** tweed
of the disorder would, in the first instance, be each mere
likely to cause • decline them an advance in prises of ether
kinds of agricultural pecans,. Indeed, we are of °piston
that the abundance and cheapness of potatoes for mese time
past have influenced the consumption of bread ; and should
growers of the first-named article become convinced that it
would be unsafe to store the crop for keeping, the result
would be that the markets would be overwhelmed with sup-
plies, which would be forced off at almost any price.
The arrivals of wheat coastwise into the port of London
have been tolerably good of late, and during the week
ending this (Saturday) evening, 4,396 qrs. have been re-
ported. The quantity exhibited at Mark-lane by land-
carriage samples from the neighbouring counties has been
small since Monday, but the offers from Lincolnshire and Cam-
brideeshize have rather increased. The trade has been quiet
throughout the week, and prices have undergone little or no
change. On Wednesday the few samples of wheat left over
from Monday on the Essex and Kent steeds were placed at
rates similar to there previously current. On Friday the
offer from the east coast were rather more numerous than
before, and in some instances purchases were made on
terms on which it would have been very difficult to have
Insight earlier in the week, good 631 b. red Lincoln wheat
haring been sold on that acaudoo, to be delivered here,
at Me. per qr. The supplies of wheat from abroad
have been quite moderate, only 5,191 qrs. haring been
received. Some of the cargoes have come to hand out of
condition, and will have to be taken to granary previous
to being offered for sale. The demand for foreign wheat
has been of quite a retell character, very few country mil-
lers having visited our market, and the local inquiry having
been slow. Holders have refrained, however, front endea-
vouring to press business, and prices were not lower either
on Wednesday or Friday than in the commencement of the
week. We have still some quantity of old wheat in granary
at this port, and, as the very fine condition of the new
causes old to be little needed for mixing, we do not anti-
cipate any material improvement either in the dein.uul for
or value of the article. The arrivals of wheat off the coast,
from ports cast of Gibraltar, have not been important since
our last, and hardly anything has been done in floating
cargoes. Polish Odessa red has been offered at 31s. per qr.,
cost, freight, and insurance, without exciting attention;
but for Marianopoli 3fie. per qr., cost, freight, and itisur-
epee, has been paid.
Flour, of town manufacture, has not varied in value ; the
hikers have for some time past been diminishing their
sleeks, and certainly hold less than usual ; good qualities
me likely, therefore, to bring full terms. The arrivals from
France have been very moderate of late, and we are without
receipts from America this week. The stock of foreign
flour on the wharfs has been reduced into rather a narrow
surpass, and really fresh samples have become scarce ; the
latter have, consequently, crept up in value, in the face of
declining prices for Wheat.
Barley, of home-growth, has come to band sparingly, and
the supply of new hitherto has not kept pace with the de-
mand. The little brought forward at Mark-lane, since
Monday last, has been easily placed at the rates then cur-
rent. the receipts of Barley from abroad have not been
particularly large, and having experienced a steady inquiry
for grinding qualities, a fair amount of business has been
done at similar terms to those previously paid, say 21s. to
2'2s. for the lighter kinds, and 235. to 245. per qr. for good
I weighty samples.
Malt has not excited much attention, and the operation
have been of too little interest to warrant alteration in quo-
tations.
The supply of oats has consisted of 210 quarters from our
own coast, 540 quarters from Scotland, 463 quarters from
Ireland, and 24,641 quarters from abroad. By far the
greater part of the latter arrived in the early part of the
week, and for several days past the receipts of foreign oats
have been small, though the wind has been fair for Teasels
from the northern ports of Europe. The prevailing opinion
is, that the bulk of the shipments from Russia has reached
us, arid that the supplies from abroad are, therefore, likely
to be comparatively small fur some time to come. Hitherto,
however, the large dealers have manifested no desire to
purchase more than needed fur immediate use, and though
full prices were obtained, the trade was not by any means
active, either on Wednesday or Friday.
Beans were taken in ietad quantities on both occasions,
at rates fully equal to those previously obtained.
Peas have come to hand sparingly, and with only a
slow inquiry, prices have remained much the same as
before.
A few bargains for floating cargoes of Indian MEI have
been closed during the week at rather lower woe then
those realised last week, 265. per qr., cost, freights end M.
surance, having been accepted for Gatz.
FOREIGN.
The reports from the north of Europe are not of
much interest just now; the continued depression hero has
not been without influence on the corn trade abroad, but
the reduction in prices has not been so great as with us, and
there being in general no margin for profits on shipments to
Great Britain, very little business for export appears to have
been done.

Letters from Dantric, dated the 9th inst., inform us that
a few hundred lasts of wheat had been bought during the
preceding week on Dutch account, but that scarcely any-
thing had been dune for England. No supplies of new
Polish had come forward ; the samples of new wheat grown
in the neighbourhood of Dantrie had proved of good quality,
and it was believed that the yield would also turn out satis-
factorily. The last sales made had been at prices similar to
those previously current; say, for bugg wheat, weighing
621 b. to 6316. per bush., sound, but of rather dark colour,
40s. ; tor high mixed Poish, of 621 b. weight, 38a. to 38c61.;
and fur mixed, 6116. to 621 b., 375. per qr. free on board.
There was very little being shipped, and vessels were plen-
tiful; charters might have been closed for Loudon at 2s. 4d.;
to the cast coast, at 2s. 2d. ; and to Liverpool, at 3s. 3d. per
qr. for wheat.
Konigsberg advice, of tho 9th inst., speak rather de-
spondingly of the weather and the harvest in that quarter,
and, notwithstanding the discouraging accounts Irom hence,
prices had, it appears, rather advanced.
At Stettin, on Tuesday last, business was very quiet : the
weather was not so fine then as it had been earlier in the
month, but as the crops were mostly harvested, the change '
had not produced much influence on the trade. So little'
hail fur some days previously been done, that prices had
become almost nominal ; red Stettin, 6611 b. to 611 b. weight,
was still quoted 335. to 38s. 6d., and the heavier sorts from
345. to 3.15. per qr. free on board. But little new barley had
come forward, and good samples of old Oderbruck had
realised equal to 19v. fl. to 20s. per qr. free on board.
Freight fur wheat to London was Is. 9d. to 2s. ; the east
coast of Great Britain, lc Gd.; and to Newcastle, Is. to
Is. 3d. per qr.
Rostock letters, dated Monday last, inform us that the
weather (which had previously been very auspicious) had
become wet and cold, and as there was still a considerable
quantity of corn abroad is the fields in that neighbourhood,
some mischief might, it was feared, be done. This had had
the effect of giving confidence to :holders of wheat in
granary ; and a day or two before, a parcel of fine quality,
weighing 62abs. per bathe!, had actually changed hands,
on sulation, at a price equal to 38s. 3d. to 38s. 6d. per
qr. free on board. Rye was said to be abort in quantity,
and of only moderate quality, and it was deemed possible
that imports of that article might be required.
At Hamburg, on Tuesday, matters remained in precisely
the same position as on the previous pest-day. With very
small supplies of wheat, holders had not, it appears, been
disposed to accept lower terms, and fair red Upland, of
601 M. to 61Ibs. weight, bad not been offered below 38s. to
395. per qr. free on board. The weather was then change-
able, and a considerable quantity of rain hail fallen during
the preceding week.
Our Dutch letters do not say much about the result of the
harvest, but as prices were rather drooping at the principal
markets, the yield, it may ho supposed, was not badly
thought of.
Rotterdam advice, of the 9th inst. state that the supplies
of new lihine wheat brought forward had been comparatively
small, and that prices had, therefore, not given way much,
but that old had been rather more pressingly offered, with-
out leading to much business. Some days previous a parcel
of 1,200 qrs. old Rhine wheat, 1281bs. Dutch, or about
601bs. English, had been bought on account of an Amster-
dam house for shipment to London, at a price :equal to
35a. Gd. per qr. free on board.
From Groningen we learn that a large proportion of the
oat crop was still in the fields in that vicinity, and it was
thought that harvest would not he completed till late in
October.
The accounts from France are, on the whole, firm; and
public opinion was, it appears, rather in favour of a rise
in prices of flour and wheat. This is proved by the fact
that higher prices were being allowed for future than for
the_ present delivery.
The most recently received mildews from America report
a further reduction in the value of dour and wheat at New
York and some of the other leading porta. The accounts
from hence were, however, regarded as so discouraging,
that few holders were disposed to assign to Great Britain,
and the shipments in propos were consequently compa-
ratively small.
