THE CORN TRADE.—EIItItINOHAII, MAT 2 —With
more than thirty yews' experience of the corn trade, we do not re-
collect the same dilticulty at this period of the year in effecting salts,
as during the past two months. We have again to notice a t nether
considerable depression in the price of wheat since we issued our lad
Monthly Circular ; and although the remand lies recently rather
improved, and good qualities have in some instances real: ied a trifling
adrinw, we reduce our quotations 2.. to 3s per quarter since the first
ultimo. We think prices have now passed the lowest point, but are
by no means confident this is the case. Should, however, a still fur.
they decline take place, the greater will be the reaction at soma future
time. Although the value ot wheat with us is nearly as law as at any
period during the past century, there is still very little dispredion on
the part of millere, dealer., or speculators, to increase their stocks.
This would be remarkable, especially when we take into account the
very envy state of the money market, but teat the almost uniform
tomes on all transactions ,in grain the last two or three years, have
greatly discouraged speculation and destroyed the confi-
dence of those engaged in the trade. The entire inabi-
lity of importers to bring wheat from any part of the world to this
country, except at a sacrifice, has at leng.llC/Illk d a felling off in the
supplies, and, except of Indian corn, they have for some time past
almost ceased from the United States. Only about to cargoes of
wheat were shipped from Odeses for the United Ku:Lethal. in March,
' and these, with us many ruare shipped previously, comprise the whole
reported to be at wand on lIIVRage from that port to Great Britain.
I The recent arrivals from thence and the Danube have mostly been
veld or sent on owners' account tome different Irish ports. The stock
remaining at Odessa by the last accounts WAS very light. We under-
stand an arrangement is likely to be carried out by the French go-
vernmest, through the Bank of France, foe making advances to a
large amount, at near the market value, on wheat and flour, which
will prevent its being forced off or shipped to England, at the prevent
almost unpreeedentedly low rates, at least until the result of the corn-
ing haired is known. Notwithstanding the home growth of corn in
France rs cite ctually protected from foreign competition, and France
is on the average a largely imp ortingcountry,the prevent memo( wheat
in that country are even lower than cure, or than those of the United
States. In ounsequence of the stook at the Northern ports heing lees than
wad, and our prices ruling so very low, it nexpeeted teat the supplies
from the Baltic will fall far short of what was expected, even two or
three months ago. We consider the season about ea forward as on
the average, and the weather has on the whole been very favourable
for spring sowing. It is now cold and ungenial, anal the growing
wheats are not so well spoken of ; but there is at prevent nothing to
prevent both an early and an abundant harvest. English wheat des
at 4a. 4d. to 4s. 10d. for red ; 4e, thl. to Ss. 4d. per Gabe.. for white, at
Birmingham. Polish Odessa, Is. 4d. to 4a. &L per Mahe, ; Danzig,
Ss. to Ss. 3J.,• hard Russian, 4a. to 4s. 3a1., at Gloucester. The sowing
of barley buboes completed, without the demand for seed having im-
proved the price ; but the currency, especially for secondary deserip.
Lion,ia so low, that it has caused a little increase in the demand, and
we expect a large consumption for feeding puttee's as the season
advances, with a small stock, and little or nediiing on passage or iu
=of shipment to Gloucester to meet it. Some good 30 to 311 b.
as been forced odd 16s. per quarter at Glouweter, which Is
the lowest price we have known fur similar quality. The demand fur
oats has continued very limited through the month; but they are km
pressed for sale by importers, although the supplies of English have
not much fallen off. Really line heavy qualities, Whig companuively
scarce, are the only description which can easily be drummed... 4.
We quote Irish light, white and black, at 13a. to Ins-; heavy
white, 16s. to 17e. per 31211aP. at Gloucciter. &wadi light, Ilia. to
17e. ; heavy, 171, to les. per 312105. at Birrahashatta. The sharp frosts
that occurred ante the bean in many places appeared above the
ground have not injured them, and their appearance is now very pro-
miring on the land ; but the very low wine has missed sense specula-
tion, and &anthill have cemequently Bendy maintained their value
during the past month ; whilst Egyptian, of which we have heal se-
veral arrivals, have been further depended Is. to Is. per qr. New
