The extraordinarily fine weather a hick ett•
perieneed since the coitmencement ot May has worked
a very great iinprovutnept in the appearance of the groW.
, ing crops. The Lent s .wn corn is ev-rywh.re looking
splendid, and•though the wheat plant' is still backward
its general aspen,. is healthy and promising. It is not
,u=prising under thi-se circumstances that buyer-a of
grain should have .Ic-wised iticreas.d caution in their
operations ; and no stroogir profit can be giant of the
shortness of stia-ki than the fail that priere have con.
tinued to ativ,ince when so material an alteration
for the butt,-r has taken place ;xi regatd ti) -our

no tin" cause for fear, The. Votatittu- d firmness shown

At the leading . *hipping ports on the east coast
the excitement seems teso to have in st_ene degree
subsided; but little -Ore no: increase having taken place
in the deliveries froin the growers the tendency of
prices has continued upwards. At Lynn and Spalding

The stocks of malt are decidedly small, and the ar-

The total supply of oats, inclusive of 14,096 quarters
fr' m abroad, has amounted to only 14,808 quarters; and
from all we can learn there appears little prospect of
more liberal arrivals. Of English oats the supplies may

Frim the Baltic the reports are of much the same ekia•
reeler a. bptore ; in na:iny parts of the interior of Ger.
many ?tiri ,us riots appear to have t.ken place, owing to
the acarci:y and high prices of provisions ; and at all
the Lower Baltic ports stocks of grain appear to be com-
pletely exhaust ,d. At Datazic, however, a fair quantity

good supplies were arriving from Palatal ; as, however,
great scarcity prevailed in the latter country, it was
deemed probable that a portion of. the corn originally
intended for Daritzic might be detained. The sales
during the week had been rather large, 950 latts having
changed hands. The hightst price obtained had been
81s. for a parcel of 60 lasts fair high-mixed, weighing
611 h. ; fine mixed, of 601 b. weight, had beta sold at 79a.
and afterwards at 775. a ; and the rates obtained for
inferior kinds bad yarn d from 745.' to 765. per quarter
