Coax, April 14.-The trade in Wheat bas been dull at
no
a
decline of 6d. per barrel. In prepared Wheat we have
tnumutions to record, baldness having been on the most
limited scale. Barley, which is in fair supply, meets a
moderate inquiry at a reduction of 4d. to ed. per barrel.
Prime samples, for seed purpose', sell freely at ed. to Is.
above the ordinary current rates. Oats also, owing perhaps
to the depressed advice, from the English side, have again
given way and may be Inirchased on easier terms, In
prepared Oats we have so little doing, that prices
may be considered nominal; we are disposed to think, how-
ever, that holders would accept lower rides. The trade in
Flour is excessively languid, and any sales that are made
are solely to supply pressing wants. stocks of coarse Flour,
which till lately was in good demand, are accumulating.
This may have been produced by the late depression in Indian
Corn, which, however, has rallied a little this
consumptive week,emand and for
which we now experience a Food d at
rather improved prices. Indian Meal also exhibits an up-
ward tendency, with a somewhat increased sale.

Wsrearoan, April 15.-We have had a week of extreme
dulness and inactivity in the grain trade, and all articles,
excepting Wheat and Indian Cora, must be again written
cheaper. At this morning's market the supply of Wheat
was very scanty, and all samples tit for millers' use advanced
3d. per barrel. The late high prices paid for Barley
have brought increased suppliis of this grain to our
market. Grinding qualities still meet a fee demand
at a reduction of 3d. per barrel, but meting samples
are offend at a reduction of Sd. to Is. per barrel.
Oats continue in good sapid), and, the demand having some
what slackened, prices have declined allow. 3d. per barrel
during the week. The recent decline in Indian Corn has
,attracted the attention of speculators, and en advance of 3d.
to 6d. per barrel has been established on all qualities during
the laet two days. The trade in Flour continues very dull,

PARIS, SATURDAY, 5 P.Y.
The chief topic of domestic interest to-day is the
expected measure of the l'rovisional Government to
take po-rression,on the part of the state, of the entire
railway property in France. The Provisional
Government has, asl told you, decided on immediate
expropriation. The only question of debate among
them is the form and amount of the indemnity.
The companies are in the highest degree indignant
at this. The direetors of the Tours and Nantes Rail-
way sent in last night to the government t
the a sointenlemn
de re-
monstrance and protestation againsd
measure. A like document, still more strong in its
language, in which the government are expressly
charged with spoliation, was to have been sent inbly
this
afternoon by the Strasbourg company, and is proba
now before the government. A meeting of the dele-
gates of all the companies is called for this evening,
for the purpose of agreeing upon a joint remonstrance
and protest against any measure which should force
their property from them, on an indemnity to which
they should object. The council of the Provisional
Government sat yesterday afternoon for some hours,
but did not come to any final decision. I am in-
formed that they will have another meeting on the
seet this evening, when the protests of the Nantes
and Strasbourg CJinkairies will be before them.
Considerable uneasiness is entertained here respect-
ing the movements and designs of the communists.
It is rumoured that several meetings have lately taken
place, attended by some thousands of them, at which
violent addresses were delivered by their leaders, the
object of which was to excite them to organise them-
selves so as to make menacing demonstrations pre-
vious to and during the elections, and even to resort
to the force of arms, if necessary to attain their ob-
jects. The name of one member of the gwernment
at least has been mentioned in connexion with these
