THE CORN TRADE.

Man the Yak-face Express I
BRITISH.
The put west, with a more continuant. rain than fell
In that which preceded it, has placed some quantity of
corn in Scotland and the north of Ireland in jeopardy. It ia
else calculated to add to the bulk of diapered potatoes gene-

rally. The late drought, however, having gone deep into
the soli, will effect a speedy drainage, and autumnal tillage
sad sowing are likely to be adnuced, should it take up flaw
The first effect of the report of a plentiful wheat harvest has
pared over, and the tone of the markets throughout the king-
dom has improved. An average advance of 2.. to 3s. has
been established since ow last, and this in the face of liberal
supplies. The scanty stocks of millers make them free buyer'
of new wheat, secondary qualities not excepted. Old foreign
samples have also been more in demand for mixing, especially
'Lenten, at an elision equal improvement; while the broken
state of the weather greatly abates the chance of getting the
remnant of the cmp in the north well housed. All this
gives apparent solidity to the value of dry samples. The
continental rearketa, France and Italy excepted, quote
;, rather higher rates, and so lemma the preepon of heavy
arrival, from the near porn and the Baltic. But still
America shows lower quotations fur new wheat, under the
influence of European advice., though neither the arrivals
nor rated at New York denote any present preparation foe
export. The extent of the reported &pease among potatoes
in that country will have something to do with the settle-
ment of prices, but the susceptibility of the markets there,
ea the receipt of the latest advice, from England, is likely to
check the downward tendency, and so to keep exports very
limited. The priscipilialvliorts of the United Kingdom being
only moderately enpplied, then are no important accumula-
flans in granary. n floating cargoes the following tales
have taken place :—five cargoes of Taganroc Marks wheat,
at from 60e. fid. to 62a. 6d. ; one of relish Odessa, at 635. ;
one soli Danube, at 49e. ; twelve cargoes of maim, at from
328. 6d. to 375. 3d. • °escarp new Seidl beans, at 365. 9d.,
and on. at 37x.; also a cargo of Odessa oats, at about

21.. 6d. per qr.
The mbar noted last week were 105,841 qre. at 68.. 4d.,
eyeing 80,368 qrs. in the lemon lirevions. 'rho Lemke
averages were 575. on 8,257 qrs. The imports into the prin-
cipal ports of Great Britain for the week ending 2nd Septem-
ber, in wheat end flour were 62,965 qr..
The wheat trade in London, on Monday, commenced on
the back of a fair supply of English grain, and something
below the average of foreign. From Essex and Kent during
the morning there was • full average of samples, the condi-
tion meetly being fair. The country markets having im-
proved, there wee a free trade at 2a. to 3.. per qr. more
money. In foreign the demand wee principally for Kungen
deacnptiona, at an advance of about 2s, per qr. On Wednee-
day there were 1,220 qrs. per coast, with 2,610 qrs. from
abroad, when the ratea of the previous day were well pra
ported for all English qualities; Petersburg end Sago,
being in better demand, and Is. per qr. dearer. On Friday
the additions per coast were 1,740 qr.., with 4,280 qrs. more
foreign. The tone of the market was then still more deci-
dedly upward, higher rates being generally demanded; but
this checked buainem.
There was a good supply of country flour on Monday,
though the foreign arrivals remained insignificant Trade
in Noefulks recovered the previous Monday's decline, an ad-
vance of fully 2.. per sack being established. Americas
being previously held at high prices, could not be quoted
dearer, though m improved inquiry. Oa Wednesday there
we 630 Reeks per coast, with 200 brie. 280 sacks foreign.
Norfolk. were then generally held for sumo advance, and
itniorkan barrels kept full prices. By Friday the additions
coastwise exclusively were 640 sacks. Norfolk. were then
quoted 41s. per lack, no change of value being noted in
foreign.
The supply of foreign barley on Monday was abundant,
but not so with English samples. Fine qualities of the new
coop being taore sought commanded fully former prices ; but
actund-rate and grinding eons, as well foreign as English,
wore a slow sale. On Wednooday there were only 10 qrs.
per ream, with 1,220 qrs. from abroad. The inquiry fur fine
malting sorts kept up their value, qualities below them and
foreign descriptione bring unaltered. No subsequent
change could be noted, Friday's supply being 450 qrs. coast-
, wi.e, and 3.810 qrs. [rani abroad.
The malt trade on Monday was steady, "'About any
change of iinotations, which was its eboracter through the
wet k. _ . .

The warily market. during the week have mostly agreed
as to the extent of the improvement in new wheat. At Bir-
mingham it was Is. to 2e. per qr. ; Lee&' Boston, St. Ives,
and Manchester were 2s. per qr. up; Spalding, Sleaford,
Louth, Lynn, Ciaineborongh, Newark: Hull, Barnsley,
Wolverhampton, and Bristol, quoted 2s. to 3e. per qr. more
money; Market Rosen, though well supplied, reported an
admire of be. per qr. Liverpool on Tuesday advanced 2d.
to 3d. per 70th.. on white whi at, and 3.1. to ad. per 701 b.. on
red since that day ..'night. Flour was Gd. to Is. pier sack
and brl. dearer, spring corn being unaltered, and maize,
from a better supply, scarrely maintaining former value. On
Friday the bum.. in wheat was retail, as previous our-
reney : new Irish vraa in good demand at Ba. 7d. to 9s. per
79Iba. for red, and 9.. to 9.. Bd. per 701bs. for new white
Scotch. Flour was firm. Barley, oata, beam, and peas
re we firm, end marsbrought about 6d. over last quotations,
say Gd. per qr. The Saturday's markets were generally
Is. to 2a. higher fur wheat. A. respects spring con generally,
bean. and peas have been selling rather against buyers, but
barley and oats rather in their favour.
Though much wet hie fallen in Scotland, and a good deal.!
corn remain, out, the markets do not appear to bare been ex-
cited. At Edinburgh wheat and Laney were somewhat
dearer, and oats rather down. At Oladgow One red American
wheat you is, per qr. higher, and flour W. to le. per set k
and brl dearer. -White peas also roma le. to 24. per qr., bur
barley was 61. per ball eheeper, oats and beans being without
alteration.
Excepting the aorth of Ireland the harvest is ode., bat po-
tato. are increasingly complained of. Clonmel bas been
better supplied, and higher rates have been obtained. At
Limerick wheat has been selling at 18d. to 2111. per stone ;
barley, 12d. • oats, 12,1. to 12 id do. Wheat quotations at
Cork were 34e. to 3b. per bet., and oats 13s. 3d. to 16s. per
brl. Dublin stait GI. per 1... dearer for wheat and barley.
At Waterford the only change was a fall in black oat@ of 3d.
per brl.

that • farther decline was expected. A gad deal of the new
crop of wheat was offering, for which from 32f. 50e. to 30.
per 120 kilo. were demanded (49a ed. to 52a. per qr.) ; the
decline was about *Ai. 60.. to 21. per het. (3s. 4d. to 4.. 6d. per
