THE FRENCH MARKETS.

The accounts received from the provincial corn-
markets state that the fall in the price of corn is
making further progress. The weather is favour-
able to the growing crops, and they promise such
an abundant harvest that speculators are every day
becoming more cautious. The suppy of farmers'
wheat in the Paris market last week was about the
same as during the week preceding. Farmers who
attended the market refused to make any reduction
in price except for samples of inferior quality.
Choice samples of white wheat found buyers at from
34f to 35f the sack of 120 kilogrammes. Choice
samples of red wheat, 341 to 341 25c; first qua-
lily, 331 to 33F 25c; ordinary, 31f to 31f 50c.; in-
ferior, 301 to 30f 50c. Merchants attended the mar-
ket with wheat from the banks of the Loire, but the
millers bought very little. Some very fine whe;:t
from the neighbourhood of Saumur was sold at
33f 25c the sack. Milers from St. Denis bought
wheat from Montereau at 33f 50c, being a fall of
50c since the preceding week. Wheat fr Jra Chartres
of the first quality was sold at 331 the sack, and
ordinary at 32r. Rye was more offered than de-
manded. Some lots were sold at 20: the 150 kilo-
grammer, delivered at the Northern Railway termi-

1111 F. Olts were cffered at a reduction of 25c the

sack without finding buyers. There was scarcely
any bakers, flour sold i❑ the Paris market last week.
Cnoice sample were offered at 62f the sack of 137
kilogrammes; good quality, GOf to 61f ; ordinary,
57f to 59f. Tae millers from the Beauce refused to
make any reduction in their prices. Flour of the six
marks was difficult of sale. It was offerrd at 61f 75c
the sack for delivery during the present month, 6/1
for May, 62f 25c for June, and 62f 50c July and
August. The official quotations on Saturday after-
noon are, for delivery, 61f 50c ; May, Glf 50c ;
June, July, and August, 62f 50e. The factors de-
clared on Saturday 543 sacks of flour, of which 268
of first quality sold for delivery within 30 days at
56f to 61f 25c the sack. The flour in the market
stores amount to 9,988 quintals, being an increase

of 101 quintals within the week. The animation
which was observed in the Marseilles corn market
15 days since has subsided, and business has be-
come very dull, with a tendency to a fall in
prices. Some American red wheat arrived at
Havre last week which was disposed. of at 56f the
200 kilogrammes. Native wheat having fallen in
Normandy, factors find a difficulty indisposing of
foreign corn. Nothing can be duller' inn the corn

markets of Bordeaux and Nantes. Wheat is quoted

at Bordeaux at from 20f 50c to 22f the sack of 80
kilogrammes, and flour at from 36f to 40f the 100
kilogrammes. There is a strong tendency to a de-
cline of prices in the Nantes corn market. to which
farmers offer a determined resistance. It is, how-
ever, more sensibly perceived in the flour market.
Wheat was sold at Nantes on Friday at from 19f to
a fall of
20f 75c. the hectolitre, and flour at from 64f to 691

STRONG GALE AND EXTRAORDINARY Low
WATER IN TIIE THAMES.—A. heavy gale from
due west troke over the metropolis yesterday morning, and
continued to b`ow with great vidence during the day. On
the ebb .tide the up-treflie on the river was considerably
impeded, owing to the velocity of the current, aided by the
gale that blew m the same direction, and the river steamers
could scarcely make headway against the wind and ebb.
At low water the banks in the fairway of the river were
left high and dry, and the narrow channels between those
below Westminster-bridge were so shallow that it was with
great difficulty the small steamers could be navigated
through th. m.
