REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN
TRADE.
Since Friday night a change has taken place in the
weather, but the intense heat previously experienced
forced the growing grain crops rapidly forward, and in
some very early localities the sickle has already been
brought into operation. Last night we had thunder-
showers in this neighbourhood, and today (Saturday),
the weather has a decidedly unsettled appearance; should
rain set in, which is not improbable after so long a
period of dry weather, harvest operations would be
delayed: and even if this should not be the case, reaping
can scarcely ba general in the southern parts of the
kingdom till the end of the month. In proportion as the
Wheat crop has progressed towards maturity the reports
of the probable yield have become less favourable ; and,
instead of the extraordinary abundance a short time ago
calculated on, strong doubts are beginning to be enter-
tained whether the produce will prove an usual average.
The cause of the expected deficiency is the reported
prevalence of blight and red gum; and if those disorders
are really so general as represented, it would afford suf-
ficient grounds for a less favourable estimate of the
probable result of the Wheat harvest than that pre-
viously entertained being taken. We are, however, dis-
posed to think that it is yet too early to form anything
like a definite opinion on this important subject ; but
that injury may have been done to the Wheat plant by
the cold nights experienced in June is by no means un-
likely. Barley and Oats are generally well spoken of,
and we have heard no complaints respecting Peas ; but
the Bean crop is said to have been so extensively
attacked by the black fly as to render it doubtful whether
it will yield more than three-fourths of a crop. In
regard to Potatoes we are sorry to say that the accounts
have again become unfavourable; so little appears, how-
ever, to be really known of the character of the disease
of the last two seasons, that rumours of its re-appear-
ance should be received with eiireme caution.
The trade<in, -Wheat his thhout the wed main-
tained a decidedly firm tone; ,not the slightest inclination
has, however, been shown to enter. into speculative
caution in their operations, only buying sufficient to
carry on their usual trade for a limited period. The
insignificance of the deliveries from the growers has,
therefore, in our opinion, had more to do with the ad-
vance which has taken place in prices than the reported
injury sustained by the wheat crop. That the stocks of
homegrown wheat are all but exhausted, is tolerably
evident from the fact that buyers from districts usually
furnishing supplies for London, Liverpool, and the
other large consuming towns, have visited the ports
where they could obtain foreign ; and shipments on an
extensive scale aro now in progress at this port, both for
the east and west coast ; besides which, large quantities
aro being transported into the interior by railway.
The arrivals of home grown Wheat into London con-
tinue to fall off week after week, and the quantity re-
ported up to this (Saturday) evening amounts to only
1,280 qrs. Meanwhile very little has been brought for-
ward at Mark-lane by land carriage samples from the
neighbouring counties, and the millers have experienced
some difficulty in securing a sufficient quantity of fresh
English Wheat for mixing with the foreign. On Wed-
nesday the Essex, Kent, and Suffol stands were
nearly bare ; and so little business was consequently
done as scarcely to warrant alteration in quotations,
but that needy buyers had to pay a trifle over Monday's
currency is certain. On Friday there was absolutely no
Wheat of home growth on sale; the operations were
therefore necessarily unimportant, and, in the absence
of business, quotations remained nominally as in the
beginning of the week. Foreign Wheat continues to
come pretty freely to hand, 30,847 quarters having ar-
rived during the week. A large proportion of this
supply is again of inferior quality, and much of it in
such indifferent condition as to be unfit for immediate
use. Really good qualities have been in fair request,
principally for transit into the interior ; and, though
our own millers have acted on the reserve, rather a con-
siderable amount of business has been done. The sales
made on Wednesday were at about previous prices, but
later in the week Dantzc, and the finer descriptions of
red Wheat, brought a trifle more than on Monday.
Egyptian and other inferior sorts have been compara-
tively neglected, though offered relatively cheap.

olively. American Flour has met with a moderate share of
attention, but former rates have not been exceeded, 375.
to 38s. per brl. being still extreme rates for the best
brands on Friday. The arrivals of flour from the United
States have been rather liberal, which has tended to keep
prices steady.
Indian corn does not. appear to increase in favour
with the inhabitants of the metropolis, and the sale
in this market is very restricted. So little has been
done in the article since the last that we can scarcely,
give its precise value, but 465. per quarter would pro-
bably be an extreme price for the best.—Mark-lane
