REVIEW OF THE FOREIGN CORN IRADE

(Yvon IM Mark Law Soma)

By the Intuit advice@ from the north of Europe, we
learn that the weather had benne rather severe, and we
should not be surprised to hear of the closing of some of the
riven by ice by the next report/. The change in the wea-
ther bad tad no influence on the tone of the trade. The
flat amounts from kenos had rendered burns unwilling to
set, and hardly anything appease to ham he den, for
expert at the Wading Baltic porta.

Datteig letters of the 7th inot. state that the operation*
in wheat had been on quite • retail scale dazing the pre
ceding week. Fair supplies had been received per railway,
consisting, however, for the most part of Interior qualities
in bad condition. Such sorts bad been very diftcWt of
disposal, and some ides may be farmed of the great
variety in the quality, when we state that prices
ranged from 40a. up to 63e. per qr. Prices in the interior
having continued relatively higher than those current at
Dansig, very few contracts bad been closed with the Polish
merchants. In spring corn scarcely anything had been
done. Peas were scarce, and boilers were quoted from 33a.
up to 365. per qr. free on board is spring, according to
quality.

At Konigsberg, on Monday, business was very inactive.
The arrivals of wheat from the interior had, during the
previous week, been rather liberal, and little or no export
demand having been experienced, former terms bed hardly
been supported; 61 to 62Ibs. Wheat might then have been
bought at from 43e. to 465. per qr. free on hoard in spring.
Spring corn had come to hand sparingly, and 63165. Barley
had sold fur local consumption at equal to 27e. to 235. per qr.
Stettin letters, of Tuesday, report a very dull trade for
wheat, with the turn in favour of the buyer. The few
British orders received had been limited too low to admit of
business being done : prices were then, for 61}115e. to 621bs.
red wheat, 435. 6d. to 445. ; mixed Polish, 465. to 47.. per
qr. free on board in spring.
At Rostock, on Monday, holders were firm, in spite of
the discouraging English advises. The supplies of grain
from the growers had not been large, and no immediate
increase was expected in the deliveries. Frost having been
experienced, the edition of the new wheat had been im-
proved ; still it had been difficult to obtain a higher weight
than 611bs. per bush. In prices very little change bad
taken place, good dry parcels having been held steadily at
45e. per qr. free oa board in spring. Barley had met with
a fair share of attention, and had sold for local use at equal
to 255. 6d. per qr. Peas were scarce and not to be had
below 335. to 33e. 6d. per qr. free on gaud.

The mounts from the neat continental ports ero mach
this same as they were last week. The business actually
done appears to have been confined to very narrow limits,
but *ellen seem to have manifested no disposition to lower
their pretensions. _ .

At Hamburg, on Tuesday, 61 lbs. red Upland wheat could
not be bought below 48s. to 48s. Bd., and the offers from the
Lower Baltic ports had been at about former rates, say
455. ed. to 48s. per qr. free on board for good it lbs. rea-
lity. Quotations of other articles appear to have under-
gone little or no change; Seale barley, weighing 49i lbs.,
was quoted 30s. to 30s. ed., and 63 lbs. Danish 24e. tid. to
245. 96. Oats from Denmark, to be shipped is spring, 17s.
to 17s. 3d, per qr. free on board.
Is the Dutch markets prices of wheat have remained sta-
tionary daring the last weak or two, het at Rotterdam, on
Monday, the tendency was downwards, sad at Amsterdam
there wee very little doing.
In the French markets pries* have lately given way for
wheat, and flour was again quoted 1 franc per sack lower at
Psis on Wednesday.
At some of the Mediterranean markets a fair extent of
businein appears to have bees done, principally for home
nee, the 'sport demand having been quite trivial.
At Leghorn equal to 40s. 4d. per qr. bad been paid for
Marianopoli and at Trieste prices had ranged from 38s. Bd.
up to 435. Bd. per qr. free on board.
The &deices from the Black Sea ports stets that the de-
mand for wheat for shipment had fallen off, but that
holders had insisted on nearly former rate,.
At Galata, on the 24th January, the finer qualities of
Ibraila were quoted 23e., and Galata wheat 251. to
Ws. per quarter, free oa board. The nooks were estimated
at 65,000 qrs.
The most recent advice' from America state that the
dull accounts from hence, per Europa, had had some
effect, and that flour had receded in value at the prin-
cipal markets. At New York, on the 28th Jan., business
was very dull, with the turn decidedly in favour of the
buyer. Freight for flour to Liverpool was 2s. ild., and to
London 3e. per brl.
