THE FOREIGN CORN TRADE.

The weather appears to have been changeable on
t►s eowliseat ; som• of the letter written about the 11th
speak of sheep frost, bat more recent advice, state that the
temp• had again risen ab .ve freeaing point.
Very little bottom appease to have been done at the
leading Baltic merkets in wheat we other grain Lr spring

Our Derain advice' are of the 11th Instant. For tree
or four days previous the frost had been rather severe, and
the river had become locked up by re. The stock in gra-
nary at that place wu estimated at 18,000 lasts, a large pro-
portion consisting of ire qualities, the growth of 1849.
New wheat, weighing 591bs. per bushel, had been sold at
34.. to 35r., and 60Ibe. quality at 36e. to 375. per quarter free
en board ; but tor fine old, eztravagently high rata bad
her demanded, say dis. up to 465. per quarter free on board
raping. The new bad for the most part come to baud in
very soft condition, and but few parcels would, it was
thought, he fit for hipment, ern in the spring, without a
large mixture of old.
At Konigsberg, on the 11th January, the weather was
honey, but the roads were still bad, end the supplies of grain
from the growers had consequently not increased much ; the
lurk of wheat oa hand on the first January was estimated
it 6,5 0 lasts, and the ripen from *once, during the year
1860, had amounted to 12,000 rata.
Letters front Stettin, of the 13th inst., inform us that after
several days of rather severe frost, the weather had again
become very mild. No particular change had, it seem,
taken place in the ter of the corn trade, and the prices
asked, tree on board in spriest, had been much the same r
the week before, say 37e. for 621 b. Pomeranian and Vela.

Porli of 611 b. weight. Barley, weighing 52 lbs. per bushel,
bad not been offered below 18s. 61. to 19s. per qr. free es
hoard in wing.
Hamburg lateen, of Tuesday lit, state that slight WO
had been experienced there, but not sufficient to interrupt
the navigation of the Elbe. Toe transactions in the par
trade bad been of quite a retail character rice the previous
post day, and quotations had net varied. Fine red upland
wheat on the spot had been held at 395. 6.1. to 395. per qt.
free en board, but purchases might have been made ou enter
terms from reports.
le the Dutch and Belgian markets the tendency of prier
has been rather downwards of late, but not to an extent
which 'dolts of shipments being made from thus countries
to Great Britain with any advantage.

the coast a similar decline seems oleo to have taken place.
The latest accounts from America inform as of the close of
the inland navigation by frost, and the consequent cessation
of supplies at the ports on the coast. At New York, on the
Mat December, flour had rather risen in value. During the
precedit.g fortnight the shipments had been small.
Since writing the above we have received Hamburg letters
of Friday's date, The weather had again 13,come ra,ld, and
the river was perfectly free from ice; hardly scything had
been done for export, and prices had undergone no change.
