Colt'.—Although during the present week we have had
little rain here, the weather has been cloudy and obscure, and
in many other parts of the kingdom it is described as having
been extremely wet and unsettled, more especially in the latest
districts of the north, where a portion of the crops is said to be
standing immatured, and much already cut still remaining oat;
fears are expressed, that at this protracted period of the season
much injury in those sections of the country will be sustained,
and not a little perhaps upon several cold backward soils, even
on this side the Tweed, unless speedily averted by a favourable
change. In place of the late general excitement in the Corn
trade, the English and Scotch markets, in the early part of the
week, exhibited a calmer aspect, and in most cases a decline in
the value of Wheat, equal to is in some, in others is to 2s per
qr. Spring Corn, with few exceptions, remaining steady. The
trade here was even more depressed on Wednesday than the
day previous, but wherever Flour was offered at a decline it
was promptly taken by buyers ; yesterday the tone of firmness
was strongly reasserted, many parcels were withdrawn, and 6d
to is per barrel advance was paid over Tuesday's depression ;
on both days a considerable business was done in this article,
but the transactions in Wheat, in the interval from our last
market, have not been important, holders being firm, and the
value rather tending towards improvement. The American
market, by advices to the Ist inst., comes rather dearer for
Wheat and Flour, telegraphic advices having been received at
New York of the amended state of the trade here on the 16th
September. We continuo to receive very scanty supplies
coastwise and from Ireland, and the only arrivals of Grain pro-
duce into this port from abroad since Monday last, are 5274
qrs. of Wheat. and 7842 barrels of Flour from the United.
States, with 650 barrels from Canada. The tone of this day's
market is exceedingly healthy : local as well as country millers
have operated freely in Wheats ; some large lots also have
been taken to hold over, and we may quote the value generally
ld to 2d per bushel dearer than on Tuesday last, with a greater
advance in some instances upon the extreme reduction of that
day.—Flour is also in extensive demand for consumption, and
fully recovers the lately noted decline ; there has not been much
taken for investment, the number of choice parcels offering
being comparatively small ; 36s 6d to 34s per barrel is current-
ly made for Western Canal, and 35s for prime Baltimore and
Philadelphia brands. Barley and Met'scarce and fully as
dear.—Egyptian Beans, upon a fair retail sale, are unchanged
in value. Both old and new Oats, though scarce, barely sup-
port our quotations : and new Oatmeal is in slow request at 9d
per load below previous rates. For white Indian Corn we
have a moderate inquiry, but Yellow is neglected, and the value
rather nominal than otherwise.
