(From the Mmrh- &p w.)

The absence of nun daring the past week hag per-
mitted the resumption of field work ceder the most favour-
able circumstances A considerable quantity of wheat has
seeordingly been sown; the prospect being that a good
breadth of well-grown plants will appear before winter,
capable of resisting its seventies The general report of the
Scotch harvest shows a great extent of damage. When we
add to this the injuries sustained in the northern counties of
England, it is evident that a large quantity from the south,
or from fixeign ports, will be required aa • substitute, or for
mixing. This, together with the extremely seeds potato
blight, meet be againat permanently lowethip prices. Still
the present state of monetary affairs, with fair supplies in
most of the country markets, has had a de.,ifin,g influence
on prices, and wheat may be oosued as having
declined fully Is. to 2s. per qr., on the average
throughout the kingdom. The continental 'markets
linnet very similar features to those of lad week. The
tendency over Northern Europe is yet downwards, but
France seems to have nearly reached the lowest point
of depression. Supplies still falling short of expectation in
Southern Russia, give an artifieial and temporary stimulus
toths value at Odessa end the mote of the Sea of doff. The
crisis in America, though calculated to severely affect cereals
had they been abundant on the seaboard, may Useth supplies
from the interior till the return of confidence. Growers an
more likely to refer apeeulating on their own produce at 1.0.
dueed odes to sending it on at uncertainty.
In floating cargoes the following loathers has been treat
acted:-6 cargoes of wheat ; 4 cargoes of (Murk. at 625. 91.
to 66e. ; 1 cargo of Sandoruirka, at 50a. ; and 1 ono et
mined Egyptian, at 40e.; 12 cargoes of maize, at from Ma.
to 361. per quarter.
The sales noted lad week were 124,296 qrs" at 55a. M.,
against 141,136 quarters in the conmpondingweek of last
taw
The London averages were 595. Id. on 5,170 quarter..
The imports of wheat end flour into the principal ports of
Great Britain for the week ending 7th October were 28,734
quarters.
The quantity of wheat imported into the 17nited Kingdom
in September was 284,626 gra., and of flour 67,424 cwt.
The wheat trade in London commenced on moderate sup-
plies those for the morning, from Kent and Essex, being
about an average. Millers, being fairly i4stack, were reluc-
tant buyers; end in the theme of a good country demand,
prices receded fully 2a. per qr. on the best samples, and • good
portion was unsold at the close of the day. In new foreign a
similar reduction was mammary in order to sell, and old re-
quired some oceeession ; bat holders of the latter were not
preseing. On Wednesday there were 720 qrs. per coast, with
12,630 qrs., foreign, when business was of a mod limited de-
scription, and the prices of the previous day were scarcely
supported. On Friday the quantity roast wins wee inenseed
to 3,960 qr.., and the foreign to 20,360 qrs. The difficulty
of selling was then greater, and to make any progress it
would have been necessary to accept 21. per qr. leas money
both for English and foreign parcels; but, in the total
absence of inquire, nothing we. pressed.
Scarcely an average supply of country lour wait received
on Monday ; and foreign remained very scanty. The trade,
however, in Norfolks was verylbeavy, and an abatement of Is.
per seek was made. Town made and foreign were unaltered.
On Wednesday them were 720 sacka per coast, and 3,760 bets.
from America. The market for Norfolk& continued exces.
sivoly dull, and the tendency downwards; scarcely any
foreign offering. On Friday the arrivals coeatwieo were
1,710 sack., without any farther supply from abroad ; and
the barrels before reported being only in course of landing,
were not on sale, bit Norfolks woe then offering at Is. per
sack less money, without buyers. Town quotations remained
unchanged.
