THE CORN TRADE.

(From the Nerk-lowe Espreeej
BRITISH.

The foil of 111111 daring the pest week, though beneficial in
England, where the harvest is about concluded, excepting in
a few backward dblricts, will retard the gathering in Soot-
land and Ireland. It may also add to the quantity in bad
condition. But, nevertheless, the feet that a large portion
of the late potatoes are dimmed throughout the United
Kingdom, and that 'priers corn is below an average gene-
' rally, are both in favour of wheat prices. Nor should the
Mate of India be overlooked, where the value of rice is rising,
and famine seems likely to follow the devastation of war. If
the fear of this lead to the prohibition of exports from that
country, the consumption of wheat must be greatly increased,
and the superabundance reported be nearly, tf not quite
absorbed. 'raking, therefore, a connected v of the whole
mop of cereals, including maim and rice, sad their first
auxiliary—potatoes, it is doubtful whether, fur the
sustemanee of human life and enthral life, an average supply
will be forthcoming. Indeed any extended culture will do
little more than provide for the increased number of con-
' miners. The retrograde movement in prices in this country
now seams to have ceased. Still the effects of the aerious
I decline in London found a partial reeponoe in some of the
earlier markets ; and unless growers repeat the error of last
year, and mend large supplies unfit for milling, there may be
a steady and healthy trade. AU such as were fortunate In
their gatherings will be fairly remunerated, though there has
been much local injury by the late floods. As we antiel-
' Struiedfuintn awket.or otroTdeuttovp"urbloewandvilrea,ve but by
ne means to the same extent. Our meant rates ere
only to be met by shipments through the Dardanelles and
from Egypt, whence they cannot be heavy for three
months to come. The many sprouted and damp maples
in the north most bring buyers to the south for fine dry
Talkie' of new English, as well aa old foreign. It should
also be remembered that the early draught on the new crop
in equiraknt to a consumption of 600,000 qre. before the
usu 4 time. Fairimpwts cantinas, a good portion being
Rumba, with fine Baltic • the former, from its strength and
comparatively low price, being much in demand. There have
been 68 arrivals oft the mast since the 27th ult., many being
previously disposed of; the sales sinee have been abort Eve
cw T Ohirka wheat at 60a. 6d. to 64a., one of
flaige:theat for shipment at 375. 64., and about ten cargoes
of maim at 33e. to 365., also one of Bessarabran barley at
235. 9d. per qr.
The sales announced last week consist of 92,646 gra, at
60e. 4d., spinet 66,736 qes. bat senses. The London
averages were 61e. 10d. on 4,854 qrs. The imports into the
principal ports for the week ending Aug. 26, in wheat and
our, were 62,886 qrs. The line,forts bite the United King-
dom for the first *even month. In the year were, in wheat,
1,674,017 qes., and 1,172,748 carte. of flour, the flour only
being about half the quantity in the same period last year,
and the wheat 200,000 qrs. short.
Monday's wheat market in London commenced on good
'applies of both foreign and English. Essex and Kent sent
up quite as many samples of the new crop as expected, which
wen, generally m better condition. The heanneas of the
previous week, though partially kayoed by the arrival of
severs' country buyers, did not abate Friday's decline of
fully 3a. per qr. from the former Mondare quotations on the
finest Talkies, inferior aorta and suck as were in bed condi-
tion being pu.htd off with difficulty at Irregular prices. There
wee some inquiry for fine Dantnic and soft Rumba parcels,
for mixing, at about Is. to 2s. per qr. less money. On Wed-
nesday there were 1,320 qr. per coat, with 5,1910 qrs. fo-
reign. The buainess of thin day was rather improved at the
;envious rates. On Friday there were 4,180 qre. cosetwimi,
the only additions of foreign being 210 qrs. A much healthier
tone then obtained, and Ike parcels of wheat, both English
and foreign, ocraitenidly brought rather more money, but
quotations were not generally altered.
The quantityof flour from the country scarcely reached an
average, foreign errivals being small. The successive re-
duction in the value of wheat induced town millers to abate
4a. per each from the previous price, and Norfolk" were 2s.
lower, but the quantity of American being reduced was held
for shipping rather than offered cheaper. On Wednesday
there were 1,200 meth combine, with 160 brio. 300 sacks of
foreign. Norfolk' on this day sold at about Is. per each im-
provement, bat no change took place in other deecriptions.
On Friday there were 520 each. more per coast, with nothing
further from abroad, when the country trade wee still more
buoyant, and prices held for were 2s. above Monday's lowest
rates. American being in small compass, and mostly held
high for shipping, were not altered.
The arrivals of new English and old foreign barley were
small; but as ne malt wee being made, and the samples of
English were not Met rate, the price declined la. per qr.,
without the vela of foreign being changed, stocks being small
both here and abroad. On Wed, day there were only 60
qrs. per meat, with 5,470 qrs. foreign. Business then was
quiet at unaligned prices both for English and foreign
samplea, and in this way the market ebbed on Friday, with
the eole addition of 460 qrs. per cast.
The finest malt on Monday barely impportekits prke, and
secondary qnalitke were reduced 2a. per qr. ; subsequently
no change mu noted.
The British supplies of oats on Monday were small ; but
foreign, though nut so heavy as for the two previous weeks,
were still beyond an average, Rued= qualities greatly pre-
ponderating. Thew latter still coming up freely m the
conned the morning, the quotations could not be sustained;
the giving way, however, wee only to the extent of 6d. per
qr., some panels being stored in preference in the confidence
of better markets. On Wednesday there were 20,560 qrs.
foreign exclusively. This fair arrival was • check to the
freedom of sales, but did not produce any further abatement.
On Friday the additions were 90 qrs. coastwise, with 6,500
qra, more foreign. The ileitTillC4B of the previous market
still obtained—without, however, any giving way in prices.
Both beans and peas on Monday were in very shoir; sup-
ply. The present high rates of pus for hog kedinhow-
ever, prevented an advance, though rates were firm. and the
teals of fine old English beam were somewhat against buyers.
To the thee of the week the trade presented no new features.
There weskit • slender arrival of linseed, about half the
quantity being exporml. The tendency of prince
a further enhenoement, but the coneumptive inquiry was
limited. Cairn', on the contrary, continued a ready sale, at
fully former quotations ; and as the week advanced chore wee
an indication of mere farther rise in price&
In the seed trade there was not much business, sales of
mustard-seed could only be made at,rather lower nd es.Caeary-
seed, being in very limited supply, was 2e. per qr. dearer.
Semple" of red clover-mad on the spot were generallm.&:-
drawn in expectation of better prices, on a small with
ipdifferent proepects as to quantity both here and
though should the weather be fine and dry for the next month,
the red must be of superior quality ; new white has already
appeared, and full prices being asked for it. Tare. were
readily quoted at 6s. to 6e. 3d. per bushel. Rapeseed, hemp-
seed, andother description. sit seed remained nominally as
bet quoted.
The tusrkets in the country have had • more settled look,
and where lower prices were accepted they appeared more
final, with some reektenee, and an Improvement wee realised
in some places. Hull, Manchester, Boston, Lynn, Louth,
Wakefield, Gaineborough, Wolverhampton, and Bristol,
quoted fully former prk a for the beet new wheat. Newark
was only Is. lower. Market Ita.en and Melton Mowbray
accepted Is. to 2s. Ion; Sheffield, Barnsley, and Gloucester
were fully 2e. lower; but Birmingham, Raiding, Grantham,
and Norwich noted an advance of la. to 2.a. per qr., and
Lincoln was 2e. to 3e. dearer.

Liverpool on Tuesday bad a good attendance, and a fair
dominos of wheat was reeds at Friday's reduction of Id. to
2d. per 701 b. Good new Irish was saleable, but the soft
then arriving wee quite neglected. barley, oats, beans, and
pens sold at previous quotations. Indian corn wee wanted
for feeding, and recovered Friday's decline, Danube and
Odors bringing 36a., mid prime white American 42e. per
qr. On Friday there wee leas offering, and Id. to 3d. per
70Iba. more demanded. Flour woe le. per each and barrel.
Spring corn remained as hut quoted ; bat maim brought 32e.
fur prime Danube, and 38e. for American mixed.
Spring corn has continued steady. but English barley has
rather given way; when the malting season, however, is
resumed, we expect some reaction.

In Scotland tie One weather has lasted longer than in the
south, and every advantage haa been taken of it ; but much
yet remains in the fields, At Edinburgh the show of temples
generally was moderate, with a steady demand, top quote-
noes being for wheel about 625. 6d., for barley 405., for
cats 34.. 6d., end beans 60s. per qr. Glasgow reports light
arrival., with a retail trade and the market for wheat and
flour being 6d. to le per boll and sack down. Barley also
ad., and oats 3d. Iles per boll.

I• the south of Ireland the bulk of thecrons has been se-
cured, and every expedition appears being used in the north ;
=lly, the yield of wheat and oats Is satisfactory, the
unusually flue , but pototoec, though widely cultivated,
appear more diseeaed. At Dublin, with • moderate chow,
there has been • good demand for the new produce, both
wheat and oats being firm ; but here wu rather cheaper.
Clowns' iruppliee were light, and prices unchanged. Cork
quotations were firm. Waterford was le. per barrel lower
for native wheat, and 3d. to ad. per barrel cheaper for oats.
