THE FOREIGN CORN TRADE.

(From the Mark-lane Express.)

The scarcity of stock on the Paris flour market has kept up
muse, and 64f. to 671. per 157 kilo.. (equal to 41s. 4d. to
43e. Id. per Mibe. English) have been paid for the commie.
tion of contracts. The consumptive inquiry has also gi yea
a better tone to the trade in the four marks, which had
brought as high as 641. 25c. per 157 kilos. (445. lid. per
2801b5.) Finally, however, the offers exceeded the de-
mand, and sales were made at 50c. to 75e. lees. There had
been transactions in wheat as follows :-De Burgoyne, at
24f. 89e. (375. per qr.), weighing 76 kilos. (641bs. per bush.);
new Contegne, at 82e. (5'..h. 3d. per qr.), weight 73
kilos. (58 per bush.); but though the market was 50c. to 750.
per ect. lower (9d. to Is. it per qr.), choice novels
were still quoted 371. 25c. (575. 61 per qr.). New Bur-
sae. barley had sold at 131. 'Mc. (32a. per Ir
weight 63 kilos. (501ba. per bushel) ; new oat. of
the same cmintry, 7f. 94e. per hect. (18a. 3d.), weight
40 kilos. (321 be. per bush.) In comparing the weight of
this last year's wheat, at Toulouse, there in a difference of
3 Wm M 2 gr., or nearly Ilb. per bush. in favour of the
last harvest. The upward tendency of wheat prices in the
country had ceased, and there was a decline en several
Owes of 33c. to 50c. per beet. (94. to Is. lid. per qr.) At
Nude', Pairoberuf wheat per 80 kilos., making each 641 be.
per bush., was quoted 24f. 75c. (56a. 6d. per qr.) At Bor.
damn' with a moderate demand, wheat was quoted 261.
(59a. 6d. per qr.) The temporary thaw bad done great
da by causing many riven to overflow their banks.
f:iirolland the canals were frozen hard, and navigatioa
being stopped, there was a perfect stagnation in trade. The
Mocks of Amsterdam were as follows :-Wheet, 13,000 qrs.;
ryeheat, 185, qr
000 s barley, 3,700 qn.; Gate, 2,000 qrs.; back-
w, 6,000 qrs..; ; peas, I,Booqrs.
The Swims markets vary. Rile, Zurich, Schaffhouse, and
Lanese, where higher for wheat ; Romanshorn, Berne,
Rorschach, and Winterthur being lower. Munich, in Ba-
varia, was also lower.
The cold weather continued at Cologne, the thermometer
being four degrees below zero. There was also a vast amount
of snow, which serio-asly obstructed the roads. Prices were
very firm. Some flour bad sold for Belgium, at 43e. per
; and the best wheat was quoted Ms. 3d.
The arrival of several vessels in the river at Galati had
given a start to the wheat trade, and a, good deal had been
transacted ; but in other grain there was a great calm. It
was very rainy on the 15th of December, which led to the
conclusion that the Danube would not freeze so early at
usual. Soft wheat, 33a. Gd. to 345. 9d. Stocks at Ibraila
and Galati, about 100,000 qrs.
At Leghorn a good deal was done in wheat on the spot for
Rome • and maize had been taken for Tuscany. Wheat bud
also greught full prices, for delivery in February and
March, and several cargoes intended for this port had been
stopped on their way, to supply Palermo, Messina, and
Naples, all of which confirmed the former reports us to a
defective harvest in southern Italy.
A consumptive demand on a large scale continued to
favour prices at Genoa, and there was ensue little spec .da-
tion. Fine soft Berdianski wheat was worth 60s. tel ; ul-
terior Polish and Danube, rim Stocks were very short. and
not much was expected from the Levant. No fore,
maize was at market, and native produce had brought 375.
to 395. 3d.
Advices from New York continued to show very large
shipment.., and some little reaction in favour of price! of
breadstuffs. The canals being, closed by frost, the receipts
reduced to flour were 3,200,000 barrels. Extra state flour
to 5 dohs. (20s. 7d.) per barrel ; fair extra Ohio to 5 dole.'
His (21s. Bd.) ; choice and extra ditto. with Genesee, to
6 dole. 75c. (275. 10d.) ; Missouriand Canada, to 7 dole.
(26a. 91.) nor barrel. Chicago wheat to I dol. sc. (35a.) per
bushel ; Canada club, to 1 dol. 12c. (375. 4d.) ; Milwaukie
club, 1 del. 14c. Cues.); winter red western to 1 dots 20e.
(40..); white, 1 dol. 24e. (41• 4d.) ; white Michigan, 1 del.
300. (435. Ild.)-all per 4801 be. The exports from the hrt
to the 18th of Dromiber were-in flour. 149,670 barrels ;
wheat, 1,209,028 bushels ; main, 560,499 bushels.
Later advice, show a rise of 15e. per barrel in flour, no.
per bushel in wheat, and le. in maize.
