THE BRITISH CORN TRADE.
(From the Mark-lans Exprm.)

The harvest in Scotland has been considerably in-
tarrupted daring the past week by the fluctuations in the
weather, and a more settled time is much needed in the
north. The long drought, however, has made the showers
very serviceable in the midland and southern counties of
England, where the grass lands have much improved, and
some places have secured a *second cut. Still the opportuni-
ties to do this have been rent. The more =favourable ad-
vice. respecting potatoes have made an increased demand for
Indian corn for Ireland, and its value seems likely rather to
increeee than otherwise. The country markets have been
generally well supplied with wheat, principally new • bat
=lien having kept low in stock, there has mostly been a
reedy sale at full prices, and even NOY occasional improve-
meat for Ins qualities. As our own crop, though much In-
ferior to last year's, perhaps rank. the first in the world, and
the last general averages show peas, including those for
hog-feed, within 2d. per qr. of the price of wheat, and
bee= really is. 4d. per qr. above it, the farmer may
look with more conAdeace as to future priests, =Lee his farces
off his stock prematurely. In Frans there is already • better
feeling, and some Mamma in toe vales' of wheat, the late
loge arrivals at Mantillas not hay's( prevented a rise of

to some reaction. The Baltic by no urns Shwas its come

The Mos noted last weak were 101,610 qtr. of wheat,

The London averages were 4,223 qrs., at 48e. 7d.
The imports of wheat and flour into the mMdpal ports of
Great Britain for the week ending September 1 were 61,614
quartets.
Oa Monday the wheat market in Leaden commuted on
moderate supplies. The samples from Haut sad Essex

On Wednesday there sere 1,280 qrs. per west, with 9,860
qrs. of foreign. The samples lett over from the merlons

The supply of country flour on Monday well below the
usual amount, but there was a fair arrival from America.
Norfolk', though not plentiful, were but a slow Ws, at the
previous prices. The few paresis of fine Southern American
en sale were held high, but inferior qualities were not in re-

Wednesday there were 620 sacks meat, with 25satha and
1,980 barrels foreign. Holders of per Norfolk. then found no

with on Monday; wad flue foreign being acme',

the only addition of foreign being 866 sacks. Norfolk* then '
occemionally made rather more money, and the whole trade
woe fine.

Low &eine barley was plentiful on Monday, but English
was in abort supply. The best new malting being weros,
commanded fully farmer rates, se well as sweet heavy foreign,
the lower kinds being readily placed from their relative cheap-
near. On Wednesday there were 970 qrs. per coast, with
6,920 qrs. foreign. The consumptive inquiry for sweet

Only a mall parcel of linseed arrived, and a good cargo
was exported ; buyers were, therefore, compelled to pay
former rates, but purchases was retained. Cakes remained
a reedy eel.. The market closed with an upward look for
seed. Some new barrel mod for sowing has appeared at Rigs,
I not very fan
The said trade morally was quiet. Buyers of white

balks at nark less money. New canaryseed being more

seed and trefoil but little passing. Rapeseed, hampeesd,
ooriandersesd, and carrawayesed much the same invoice, with
but retail demand.

The ludeations of the wheat trade in the country have
been unimportant, a few markets, eapeolally those held early,
being rather in buyers' favour, while those held later have
been against them. Better supplies have been brought for-
ward, but in many instant's, growers have withdrawn their
samples in preference to yielding even alightly. Leeds and
Selby were dull, and la. per qr. lower; but Hal/ was arm,
Spalding and Bristol be Is. per qr. higher; Gloucester,
lchaster, end most other places being folly ea dear. Li-

being a further advance in maize of 64. per qr.
Spring corn ham continued steady, and full priced, sew
oats excepted.
In Scotland the frequent rains have been against the com-
pletion of the harvest. Edinburgh, with a fall market,

the whole, favourable. Prices at Cologne were maintamea,
as wall as at Dantric..

The Swiss markets incline to a slight reduction generally,
Favourable weather having been experienced at Riga, it
was hoped the remainder of the harvest would be gathered is
fine condition. The few samples of sowing linseed appear*
were not free from unripe seeds, though generally they aen
plump and full prices were not settled. At Petersburg the
only moving article in grain wee cots.

At Santander little native wheat was appearing at market,
and mitten wore taking floe French finalities de la Loire at

English sack. At Valladolid the price of wheat was 46e. 6d.;
at Palencia 46e.
Prices at Algiers ware much as last quoted. Supplin
being unimportant, were readily placed, both sot, and hard
wheat remaining saleable at 231. to 24f per 100 kilos. (42e. 6d,
to 445. per qr.). At Oran the quotations were similar.
Now that the harvest was nearly gathered in Upper Ca.
nads, a better estimate was made of the wheat crop, which in
some localities has proved nearly a failure, and throughout
proves below an average ; but it fortunately was the reveres
with spring corn, the quantity of which was said to be
abundant, and quality beyond what has been usual
