THE CORN TRADE.

(Pros the Mark Law Boron.)
_ _
_BRITISH. _ _

The rough and boiterou7wea thee of the past week
has greatly hindered the completions of the harvest in Scot-
land and Ireland, especially in the west; and the prospect
is that there will be • coasiderable addition to the large
quantity of con out of conditiea in the United Kingdom.
The fincly•gathered new crop of America cannot fail, there-
fore, to be in great request under these circumstances, and
already the wheat markets in New York and Canada are
rather dearer, cr inclining upward., from the upon de-
maid, with tome escitement at the former place. France
is also dearer for wheat, end there seems no prospect of
low prices, excepting for inferior qualities, the Baltic
market. not having sufficiently given way to meet those of
England, while Spain and Portugal are cust,reers for low
foreign. Our country markets, though not so abundantly
supplied, in g I have all been declining for second-rate
and Inferior new wheat, w•th a very limited business ; but
the few flee samples showing have gone ..ff well, partly for
seed and partly to miller.. The little rock of fine old
remaining, as well English as foreign sample., has fully
maintained its value, and must fetch relatively high priers
till a sharp frost or drying winds have improved the bulk
stocked. Independently of its audition, the quality of the
new crop does not answer the esp cutiona produced by the
appearance tithe first samples; and ve.th more uncertainty
as to the issue of the late potatoes, which are more unfa-
vourably spoken of as the season advances, there can be
no doubt that a liberal importaticn will be .gain required.
The business in floating cargoes bee been as follows :
Taganrog Obirka has brought 61e. 6d. to 62e., hard ditto,
665. to 68e. 15d. ; Constantiaople bard. fiOs. 61.; unsweet
Berdianoki, 60-4 3,000 qrs. soft Potty& Oleos.
66a. ; and
inferior Kalafat, 601. 6d.; terse, 31.. 61. to off
the tout; Saide wheat, on passage, 43e.; ditto beano, 34..
The weekly sales last reported were, 106,353 qr. wheat,
at 64e. 6d., against 124,670 of the previous season. The
London returns were, for 6,631 qrs., b 7.. gal. The importa-
tions into the principal porta of the United Kingdom, for
the week ending Sept. 17, in wheat and flour, were
107,446 qrs.
The country wheat markets show more agreement, and
seem settling down into more find price. for new wheat
when the condition is good ; but prices must continue it
regular for that difficult to wee. Birmingham, Bristol,
Osissborough,Newmarket, and Portsmouth note no change
in prim for really prime quality. Ipswich end Spadiog
were only Is. cheaper. Boston, Sleaford, and Gloucester
were 2s. lower. Leel., Lynn, cod Melton Mowbray, make
the deollee 2.. to 3.., Louth sad Newcastle quote 3., lower
prices. Liverpool, on Tuesday, found a lair trade at 34.
per 701 be. law for wheat, and a good consumption ter &st-
rata flour at unaltered rates ; spring corn being mush ail
last quoted, tad mails very dull. On Friday there wana
good demand for prime wheat and flour, at full prices;
common, also, were the turn dearer. New oats were more
plantifel, sad Id. per 451bs. lower. Indian corn found spe-
culators at 6d. to Is. advance, highest price for white being
341. 6d. Other spring corn unaltered. Barley bus been
still declining in the country, u well as fn London.
The Scotch harvest to bun Impeded by heavy rain.;
on Wednesday last they were incessant, yet prices have
been little iffieted. At Glasgow the attendance was small.
Best quality wheat unebsaged; old American bringing

to GGs. per qr., fine new (6:3111w.) 68,. There wu a
good demand for old feed oats for consumption, at 22, ear
gr. New Irish were Gd. cheaper, Limericks bring.ng 23,.
Brit!, isciog KEMP, were di. per boll higher; hu• barley
U. to 1•. p r bAlchesper. The supply at Edo, htirgo was
large, eau s.les slow of everything hut old avatar, which
was nth- r higher, and barley rather down.
Toe aa as had weather has olio hindered the Irish bar.
vest. end complaints of it come from the western province'.
At Channel there wee only a small business, millers being
still shy, with g oil supplies. At Limerick there was a foie
shear of oats and barley, with yr:ces firm, but trade dull.
Waterford was le. per brl. lower for wheat, with no farther
change.

THE LINEN TRADE.—The demand for the finer description, of
Uses is rather Improved. Stouts of drilla are low and demand dull.
Diapers, lawns, and eamtwica participate in the depression, but some
orders from American Louses bare yet to be fillod, and will keep our
manufacturers busy. Browns have Leen Whir demeallin the cutout
