The fine weather, cheering as •it is, does not prevent
the anticipation of a gradual decline in the duty on
foreign corn, before the spring fairly sets in, until
the minimum rate is attained, and this is likely to prove
another disturbing cause in the Money Market, as re-
gards the Foreign exchanges. In the meantime,
the receipts of silver from South America have been of
material relief, as a remittance to the Continent; but
these we cannot always hope for. We perceive that
our contemporary, the Chronicle, has wisely taken up a
point to which we drew attention under this head some
short time back, viz., as to the effect which damp and
inferior wheats, under the present system, are allowed to
have upon the official averages. It is evident such parcels,
being unfit for consumption, do not afford a fair
basis upon which to calculate the average value of food,
since a party going into the market to buy such an article
as was proper for human food would find that he must pay
considerably higher for it. In this way foreign corn is
kept from u 4, when domestic grain of good
quality is in reality so high, as to justify a lower range
in the scare of duties. .
