THE CORN TRADE DURING THE PAB WEEK.
(From the Yak-law Berme.)

- .
The past week having been highly favourable to
harvest-work, a deal of corn has been cut, and a
fair portion in good condition. A sprinkling of the
new erop has appeared in several markets; and if the sam-
ples exhibited are to be taken as specimens of this year's pro-
duce, they show considerable differences. They leave the
average in weight and flour-producing far:perdu below the
last; end, though solos favoured localities note an abundant
yield, so many complaints of deficiency are made that we are
led to the same unfavourable oonoinsion in this rerpect. As
soon, however, as a reliable estimate can be made, it will (in
conformity with our usual practice) be forthcoming. The
weeks of harvest have, is yet, been bountifully reserved to
the nation; and should the same glorious weather
be continued, with a store of old on hand, there
need be no fear for the sustenance of man. The
late rains falling at long intervals, and in mo-
derate quantities, have done wonders for potatoes. The
important 'rub/dints for corn is now reported in Ireland to
give promise of unusual abundance—other countries also
boast of similar prospects with this root. Still turnips are
bad ; and a second out of gram in many places Is almost
imputable. Our wheat markets have been thinly attended
and supplied—rates remaining little altered, the tendency
being rather to advance in some places ; holders in others,
appearing inclined more to see the critical season over than
consent to lower prices, the value being much more capable
of increase than otherwise. On the Continent, the nearer
oountries, France and Belgium, have rather given way ; but
the Baltic provinces have somewhat advanced!. Supplies at
New York have turned out much less than expected, and on
the arrival of favourable advice* (as to value) in Europe, the
lose of the business there for good merchantable brestuffs
was Improved. The crop of rye in Europe is still more com-
plained of; while the French, from a deficiency of oats, think
of using it for cattle, as well as with it inferior wheat.
The arrivals off the coast since the 29th ult, hare been 82.
The sake In floating cargoes comprise the following :—Eleven
cargoes of wheat, viz., two of Taganrog Ghirka at 44e., one
Polish Odeon at 421.6 d, two Sandoroirks at 425. 6d. and
42e. lOid., one Began:ski at 475. 6d., two Reknit at
37e. 6d. and 385., two Ibraila at 365. and 36e., and one of
SAW Egyptian at 295. Of maize also eleven eargoeshave
been placed; one of Egyptian at 27e. 6d., and ten Black Sea
and: Danubian at 30a. 6d. to 325, 6d. Of Odessa and Ibraila
barley three oargoes at 22e. 3d. to 72a., and one of Ilwafla
rye at 26e. per qr.
The sales noted lut week were 102,192 qu. wheat at
45e. Bd. against 64,567 qrs. last season. The Loudon ave-
rages were 48e. 6J. par qr., on 2,747 qrs. The import, into
the principal ports of Grat Britain for the week ending
July 26, In wheat and dour, were 104,638 qrs.
Monday's wheat market in London coma:snood on the
back of moderato supplies. The morning's arrivals from
Best sad Reflex were short, including a little new red
and more white Of various quality. The weather being
ill that could be desired, trade was very slow for old
samples, but the new was taken off at full prices. In foreign
then was very little business, with quotations unaltered. Oa
Wednesday there were 920 qrs. per oust, with 9,010 qrs.
foreign. The weather remaining favourable, the dulness of
the previous day was continued, but without any disposition
on the part of holders to give way, either in English or
foreign simplex ; and in this way the week closed, with the
arrivals cauterise amounting to 1,670 and the foreign to
12,210 qrs.
The foreign supply of oats on Noaday was the largest ex-
perienced for several years put, the bulk being from Arch-
angel, Petersburg, and Riga. The glut.however, was well
borne, notwithstanding a diminished export, and prices only
gave way to Russian sorts to the extent of 6d. to Is. per qr.,
other descriptions being scarce. On Wednesday there were
650 gra. per coast, 300 qu. Irish, and 22,680 qrs. foreign.
The effect of the heavy supply having ceased by the free pur•
chases thin made, buyers who had neglected to avail them-
selves of it had to pay more money. On Friday the addi-
tions were exclusively foreign, being 11,660 qrs. With this
cove
goodred supply, however, the fall of Noaday was about re-

mouth, end most places showing no change; Bristol and
Gloucester were rather against sellers; but Barnsley and
Boston were is. per qr. dearer. It appears the late storm of
wind was very injurious in certain exposed localities, and
reached to other countries. The laying by the previous rain
did much less harm, eventually, than expected. Liverool,
on Tuesday,found a sale for wheat at fully the previous rates.
Barley was 2d. per Mho. higher, and beans advanced Gd,
par qr. ; oats and meal were unaltered. The failure of turnips
said boos oocaaioned a free demand for maize at an advance
of Is. per qr., yellow being up to 335. Gd., and white to 34e,
Friday's report noted a thin attendance. 'Wheat being rather
in buyers' favour, but flour was in better demand. Barley,
pees, and oats were unaltered, but maize again rose about 6d.
par qr.
Blight differences occur in the markets as to spring corn,
but they have left prices generally much the same.
The humid climate of Ireland, it appears, has borne the
exesseive heat better than this country, and the wheat crop,
as a whole, looks well, while potatoes give general satisfac-
tion. Prices have little changed. The only difference noted
at Waterford was a reduction of 9d. per brl. on Indian corn.
Prime wheat folly kept its value at Cork.
