The continued dull repeal from hewn have not been
altogether without influence on the grain trade abroad, and
at most of the Baltic ports holders have lowered their pre•
tensions. The weather appears to have been similar to that
experienced in this country over a great part of continental
Europe, and harvest operations have progressed very fa-
vourably. There is some talk of potato disease both in
Germany and the Netherlands, but the corn crops are gene-
rally described as good, though not superabundant.
Letters from Danzig, dated 12th inst., state that supplies
of wheat from the interior had fallen off; still, holden had
been obliged to give way more or less. A parcel of good
lower Polish mixed wheat, weighing 61 to 621b5., had been
sold a day or two before at 375. lid., and 100 qrs. of fine
mixt d, 61 to 62115., at 38s. 6.1. ; for a parcel of fine high-
. mixed Culm wheat 38s. per qr. had been bid, but the
holder had refused to accept less than 395. per qr. Freights
had tended downwards ; a Teml had been chartered fur
the Frith of Forth at 2.. 6d., one for Goole at 2u. 7d., and
one for Liverpool at 34. tie. per qr.
Advice* from Stettin describe business as almost at a
stand at that port, little or no export demand having been
experienced either for wheat or spring corn. Harvest was
fast drawing to a close in that neighbourhood, and the
produce would, it was believed, be very satisfactory.
From Rostock we have &deices dated 11th inst., which
inform us that the weather had for some time been, and
was then, favourable for t e outstanding crops ; still har-
vest had only been partiall commenced, and would net, it-
was ex , be general or a fortnight from that date.
The prospects were regarded as good, and a large yield of
wheat and barley was anticipated. Many of the holders
or wheat in granary still refused to accommodate them-
selves to eireuinstaneca, but the wheat brought forward
from the 'wirier had been offered at 3.85. per quarter free
on board, the weight being 621 M. to Galbs. per bushel.
This shows a decline on previous quotation, from thence.
At moat of the other Baltic ports the tendency of prices
seems to have been downwards; but the fall hits not been
so great as in this country, and the recent shipments from
thence to England will loose money.
hamburg letters of Tuesday's date state that hardly
a sale of wheat had taken place since the previous
post-day, and that prices had become to a certain extent
nominal. l: dared wheat of 63144. to 61164. was then quoted
36.. up to 18- , and Wahren of the latter weight 38s. 6v1..
per quarto r free on board. Of had been receired
ar Lower Baltic
hail
at 38a. Col. per qr. free on board.
Siring corn hail excited little attention, but barley had
not been pressingly offered ; old Seale on the spot having
been held at 23.. fal., and 43164. to fillbs. quality, free on
board at Danish ports, 21s. frol. to 225. per qr.
The advicen from France in respect to the harvest are of
a somewhat conflicting character ; but, on the whole, there
is reason to, believe that the produce of wheat, though less
abundant than last year, will not tall materially short of
that of moderately good average seasons. The accounts
from Paris describe business in flour and wheat ua dull, and
prices of both articles were lower on Thursday than earlier
111 the week.
From the Mediterranean we have nothing new to com-
municate ; prices of wheat are relatively higher iu that
quarter than at the soarer cuutiueutal ports, and Bore is
consequently not much prospect of advantageous bushiest
being dune with the south.
The most recently received adviees (mom America in-
form us that the wheat harvest was rapidly drawing to a
close; and the produce would, it was expected, prove supe-
rior, both in regard to yield and quality, to that of ordinary
season. In Virginia and North Carolina come injury had
been done by drought to the Indian corn crop, hut in most
parts of the Union' a large yield was calculated on. The
i4V• :arable prospects of the harvest, the dull accounts from
Great Britain, and good supplie, from the interior, had
combined to depress busiutais at all the large 'dipping ports
on the sea-board.
Letters from New York, dated 29th ult , state that,
though large purchases of flour had been mode there during
the preceding fortuight, prices had continued to decline,
and good qualities of Western Canal were then obtainable
at 4 dole. per barrel. The exports of flour to Great Bri-
tain from the 16th to the 29th of July hat exceeded 110,000
barrels, o. wheat 116,090 bushels, and of Indian corn
101,000 bushels. Freights had rather receded, Is. per barrel
having been taken fur flour to Liverpool.
