TBZ BRITISH AND FOREIGN CORN TRAWL

(From the Mark-farm Express.)
Iles continuance of fine weather during the past week
has enabled farmers in the southern and midland counties
to secure • good portion of their crops. In the north, how-
ever, notwithstanding the fineness of the day., the night
frosts have bases wheat the ripening of the corn, especially
in the cold clays. We are sorry to observe that the fear of
damage by rile has led to too much haste in the gathering
where the corn was cut. This year's crop of wheat will
exhibit every variety in quality and condition, the lowest
boles simply At for cattle feed, and the best only ousting
up to the average of former years. Barley, it appears, will
show but few really fine malting samples. Peas have se/.
fend much by shelling in the field, but oats and beans
have pared through this rainy cold season with • fair re-
sult. Three weeks' sunshine has also brought some compen-
lotion to hay farmers by • moderate second crop of grams ,•
but potatoes are beyond remedy, and the growth of
manal-warsel has been greatly checked by the cold ungenial
weather. The markets have hardly settled yet as to the
prices of new wheat, though it has seriously declined from
the starting price ; still the rates of old have only receded
2s. to is. per qr., and unless the new comes better to hand,
it moms likely we shall soon feel the smallness and insuffi-
ciency of the stocks of old for mixing, notwithstanding the
late liberal supplies of foreign. It would appear, moreover,
that much of the new crop gathered iu Northern Europe is
damp. and inferior to ordinary years ; so that a wide differ.
ence is likely to obtain between the values of sew and old,
both foreign and English, on this side Christmas. Should
our own yield he short of an average amounting to 10 per
cent., it a to be remembered that the atomise of the har-
vest by one mouth makes so mach leas to provide for, and
the plenty and good ounditioa reported in America sad
Southern Russia seem likely to meet all necessities Priam
abroad have but little altered.

The London wheat trade on Monday opened on a liberal
supply of foreign wheat and a moderate one of home growth.
There was a better show of wheat from the near counties
during the morning, most of it got up in haste, as appeared
from the damp ooeditios ; a portion also was very inferior
in quality, and scarcely lit for use. But little was sold, and
that at • decline of fully 6s. per qr. on sew and 2s. to 3s.
on ad. The tondo teach was vezni:imited, the decline
as being the emus ou old samples of • fish ; but there was
more &team than on the vious Friday, from the con-
viction that it mast be tiberally need with the new Englisb.
