THE CORN TRADE.

(From the Mork-lane Paprtu.)
The extraordinary mildness of the past week has kept
the wheat plant in steady growth; producing, indeed, some
fears of italmoming winter-proud where very forward. But
the inereved strength given to the lateceown pieces, the
facilities afforded to tillage, and the reserve allowed to the
stores of dry food cattle, must greatly over-balance any
ouch Night detriment. As respects the wheat trade, there
hoe been quite • relates to former thane's, with a further de-
cline of 2a. to 3s. per qr., though the weekly sake show a
great falling off es coneequenoe of uneatinfactory
Were it net that the extreme financial pressure in the Baltic
romancer, bad again abated the rising confidence of thie coun-
try, we might reasonably have looked for more activity. The
point, however, worthy of note, Is the fact that Nortbeen Eu-
rope, with such a pressure, and so much diem-urge-
meant in England, yields so slightly in the quotations of
grain. The ports in the Black Ses, the Arad, and the
Danube, though heavily complaining, also keep no touch
above rear, that shipments thence promise the forfei-
ture of freight on all consigntnents to this country. As,
therefore, this kind of speculation must noon wear cont—
end as the advanced state of the sawn loads to the conclusion
that with an average recuperators both the Baltic and America
will soon be frost-b,und—it can scarcel be looked for that the
present depreneion ran long obtain, although there may be
little reaction till the opening of the new year. The failure of
the potato crop cannot be estimated while corn is low, and

FOREIGN GRAIN.
(From Belts WeeAly Afeassuger.)

The paralysed elate of trade in the north of Europe renders
quotations of grain useless for the protect, and it will be
some time before bush:tom goes on iu • regular coulee again.
Holland is not so much affected by the luonetary pleasure,
having little direct business with America. At Rotterdam
prima of while Zeeland wheat receded 3s. writ., but samples
of red were only Is. per qr. lower.
The French markets remain pretty stationary ; one day a
good male of both wheat cal flour, the sent a calm over both
articles. Tits orders tram England arrive very tlowly, and
give no encouragement to the French merchants ; still • few
parcel* of both *rucks are in the courge of shipment for thin
country, and by and bye trade may Musa% should prices

In the markets of the United States prime have been firm.
At New York flour advanced sd. to Bd, per barrel. Good
shipping qualities were quoted at 20.. 6d_ to 23..; Ohio,
23.. 4d. to 265. ; high extras from 271, to 30a. 6d. The sup-
Oise of wheat from the far West have been very light, and
pekes have rather stiffened. On the 24th ult. some of the
ems!. ware doled by ice, which checked the depressed

on priers in both countries. From the Black Sea and Egypt,
as else Turkey, we shall get liberal quantities of wheat, cots,
