THE CoUNTit v mAttii.ETS.
HULL, JULY 17.
Messrs Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—We have had
another week of mo't favourable weather for the wheat har-
vest, and unexpect.,d progress is now made towards maturity.
Spring corn genetilly would kensfit by rain, but as yet no in-
jut yto such crops is reported. Imp.irts continue on a
moderate scale, and so f,r consumption takes them off from
the import vessel. The announced cessation of hostilities be-
tween the Danes and Germans may, by increasing imports,
check prices. but we apprehend consumption, backed by good
employment in the maoulacturing districts, and supported by
moderate stocks with boil merchant and farmer, is too great
an i founded too legitimately, to admit of much retrogression ;
and thus we find on the part of holders, either of well-et:nil-
tioned wheat or spring corn, little disposition to give way from
their late askings. We had for our this day's market a fair
supply of wheat from our own farmers, who generally insisted
OA higher terms, but millers were not disposed to give more
than last week. Although the number of vessels reported
since Saturday is considerable (owing to the late contrary
winds) yet the aggregate am,unt of grain imported is not
great, a, d a good de.,l has been previously sold ; of good.
conditioned wheat the import is neat to nothing. We note
no alteration in the value of foreign at to-day's market, and
but little fine offering. All kinds of <prinz corn maintain their
late value ; and the demand for grinding barley continues un-
abated. There were many complaints to-day of too much
heat for growing craps of barley and oats, but some nice rain
has fallen during the morning. Although the above-noted
import of linseed marks an increase as compared with last
week, yet being for the most part direct to the crushers, the
market is uninfluenced ; prices remain very steady, but
business is in narrow compass. Cakes are dearer for both
present and forward delivery, owing to the late hot weather.
No transactions in rapeseed, and rape cakes are only dull sale.
As bones arrive, if ro he sold from ship, low prices are the
consequence; the bulk of the import (too late for the season)
goes to the yard.

IPSWICH, JULY 17.
The wheat market has become very dull, the fine appearance
of the growing crop has an influence on the minds of
our millers ; last week's prices could not Le supported. The
value of spring corn remains as last week. Malt and flour
dull sale.
