REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN
TRADE.
The harvest may be considered as concluded, little
grain of any description now remaining, in the fields
even in the most backward part of the kingdom. As yet
but few estimates of the result have been offered, public
attention having been so much taken up with the potato
disease and its probable consequences as to cast into the
shade all other matters. Under these circumstances it
has been extremely difficult to obtain accurate infor-
mation relative to the yield of the different grain crops,
and we are not in a position to offer a very decided
opinion on the subject. Judging, however, from what
we have hitherto been enabled to collect, we are strongly
inclined to believe that the produce of wheat will prove
less to the acre than was expected previous to the com-
mencement of harvest. The deficiency in quantity may
in some measure be made good by the superiority of the
quality and the great weight of the grain ; but with
full allowances for these advantages, we still question
whether the yield will exceed that of average seasons.
This, though not a very favourable view, is more than
can be said of any other crop of corn. The next in
importance to wheat is that of barley, which is ad-
mitted on all hands to fall materially short. The
deficiency in the produce is variously estimated ; but
that there is an important deficiency is universally
acknowledged. Next we come to oats ; the ex-
treme heat and want of moisture during the greater
part of the summer were exceedingly trying to this
crop, and, excepting on the best descriptions of soil, the
yield is even lighter than that of barley. Beans are,
probably, not more than half a crop, and peas have
turned out equally short. Indeed, with the exception of
hay, which is abundant and of excellent quality, the
gross amount of food raised in Great Britain for man
and beast is unquestionably very considerably below
what is likely to be required before another harvest can
be gathered. That an importation, and that on an ex-
tensive scale, would have been required, even if the po-
tatoes had not been attacked by the fatal disorder of last
year, we feel perfectly convinced ; and with this cala-
mity to crown our misfortunes, we are likely to need
assistance to an extent which must raise the value of
agricultural produce all over the world. It is very far
from our wish to create unnecessary alarm, or to aid
those who, from interested motives, may endeavour to
exaggerate the evils of our position ; but we cannot shut
our eyes to the fact that a failure of the potato crop,
though only to the extent of one-fourth of the total
quantity usually grown, would, with the deficiency in
other articles of food, be sufficient to drive up prices of
provisions to a height likely to be productive of serious
inconvenience to the poorer classes of the community.
Since our last a further rise of from 2s. to 4s. per
quarter has taken place in the value of wheat at all the
leading provincial markets, and a proportionate en-
hancement has been established in prices of spring corn
and pulse. The total advance on wheat from the lowest
point is Bs. to 10s. per quarter. After so rapid and im-
portant an enhancement, it is not improbable that the
upward movement may receive a temporary check. The
prices now obtainable are much higher than farmers
reckoned on at the time the new corn-laws were intro-
duced ; and it is not unreasonable to suppose that they
may be thereby induced to supply the markets liberally
for a time, but sooner or later we expect to see prices
higher than they are at present.
Our advices from Scotland and Ireland continue to
give very deplorable accounts of the spread of the po-
tato murrain. The apprehension on this subject had,
we are informed, in no degree abated ; and in the latter
country, particularly, the most fearful consequences
were dreaded. Prices have risen fully as much of late
in the Scotch and Irish markets as with us ; and, for the
present at least, no supplies from either quarter can be
calculated on.

The great rise which has lately taken place in the
value of wheat has not hitherto had the effect of
drawing supplies ; indeed the arrivals of the article
coastwise into London have been even smaller this
than the preceding week, only 9,054 qrs. having been
reported up to this (Saturday) evening. The quantity
exhibited at Mark-lane by land-carriage samples from
the neighbouring counties has also been very trifling.
On Wednesday the Essex, Kent, and Suffolk stands
were nearly bare, and the millers being anxious buyers,
prices ls. to 2s. per quarter higher than those current in
the beginning of the week were in partial instances
realised. This advance was generally demanded on
Friday ; and though the inquiry was less active than
earlier in the week, needy purchasers had no alternative
but to comply. The averages are now beginning to show
the influence of the recent rise in prices ; the last return
for the kingdom being Is. 2d., and that for London Bd.
per quarter higher than the returns of the preceding
week. The duty, which has for some time been 10s.
(the highest point), must in the course of a few weeks
recede, and is likely to decline gradually till it falls to
4s. per quarter, the minimum under the existing law.
It does not, however, by any means follow that this will
insure us a supply, the harvest just secured having
proved more or less defective over nearly the whole of
continental Europe. In France and Belgium, as well as
in several of the more southern countries, the deficiency
is reported to be Eo serious as to have caused prices to
rise above the level of our own ; and even in the
Baltic quotations of wheat are relatively higher
than in the British markets. There is, conse-
quently, little prospect of large importations from
any quarter except • America ; and the surplus
growth of the United States will unquestionably be
shipped to whatever market may promise the best re-
turn. If, therefore, France, or any other country, out-
bid us, even. this resource would fail. These considera-
tions have not been overlooked by holders of foreign
wheat, and that in granaryhere has been held at mate-
rially enhanced terms. Our millers have manifested some
unwillingness to pay the advanced rates demanded, and
the transactions have been on rather a restricted scale
during the week; the business done both on Wednesday
and Friday was, however, at prices which could not
have been obtained in the commencement of the week.
Most of the bonded wheat has been either withdrawn or
sold for shipment to France. and there has been scarcely
a sample on offer since Monday last. In this state of
affairs it is not easy to give quotations, but as some
criterion of the value of wheat under lock we may men-
tion that common Polish Odessa has been held at 445.
per quarter, being more than it would a few weeks ago
have fetched duty paid.
Flour has been in good request, and the millers have
experienced no difficulty in making sales at the enhance-
ment established on Monday. United States flour has
also been taken freely, and good brands have realised 30s.
to 31s. per barrel duty paid; whilst for parcels in bond
275.. and even 28s. per barrel has been asked.

The supply of barley has fallen short of the demand,
and factors have declined selling the finer qualities at the
currency of Monday. Distilling and grinding sorts have
also been held about Is. per quarter above the rates of
that day. The duty on this grain fell a step on Thurs-
day; and from the present position of the averages it
may be expected to recede to the lowest point.
Malt has come sparingly to hand; and the real
scarcity of fine qualities has increased their value fully
I s.yer quarter.

Of English oats only 1,589 quarters have arrived
during the week; whilst from Scotland and Ireland the
receipts have been trivial, viz., 101 quarters and 6,063
quarters respectively. The foreign supply has also been
small; and as it is the general opinion that most of the
Archangel shipments have now come to hand, whilst the
quantity on passage from other quarters is believed to be
unimportant, a scarcity of this grain is looked upon as
by no means an improbable event.

Fine corn, whether of home or foreign growth, has
indeed already become scarce, and the market is com-
paratively' bare of moderately good samples. Factors
have, consequently, raised their pretensions, and the
prices asked have been so high us to check business.
The sales made on Wednesday were at an advance of
Is. per quarter on Monday's quotations; but since then
the demand has slackened.
For Indian corn a speculative inquiry has been expe-
rienced ; and though purchasers have readily paid 2s. to
3s. more, many holders have declined selling.
Beans have met with a good deal of attention since
our last, and have realised enhanced rates; for Egyptian
in bond 335. per qr. has been obtained.
Of English peas none have appeared at market since
Monday ; foreign have consequently being taken at high
prices.

The duty on the two last-named articles, as well as
that on rye, being regulated by the barley averages,
what we have said above in respect to the probable fall
of the latter applies to the whole of these articles.
REVIEW OF THE FOREIGN CORN TRADE.

The late rise in the value of all kinds of grain in the
British markets has, as usual, influenced quotations at.
the principal ports on the Continent. Wheat has ad-
vanced materially all over the Baltic ; but this has been
as much caused by orders from Belgium and France as
by the reports from hence.
Letters from Dantzic, dated the sth instant, furnish
us with a statement of the shipments from thence during
August, from which it appears that of the 3,169 lasts
exported only 3SO lasts had been dispatched to British
ports. Since the previous post day rather large pur-
chases had been made there on Belgian account, whilst
scarcely anything had been taken for England. The
business done had been principally in low qualities, for
which equal to 445. to 465. per qr., free on board,
had been paid. For parcels weighing 62.1b5. to 631bs.
per bushel, though not perfectly sound, 475. had been
given, and for really fine lots, 48s. had been refused.
Altogether fully 800 lasts had changed hands within the
week.

At the Lower Baltic ports more business seems to have
been done in barley and peas than in wheat. We learn,
however, from Stettin that a few purchases of the latter
article had been made there for shipment at very high
rates, viz., 445. for red Pomeranian, and 465. per quarter
for fine heavy Uckermark. Barley had come sparingly
forward, and had realised equal to 265. per quarter, free
on board, for local consumption. Peas had been strongly
sought after; and a small lot of new Uckermark had
brought 395. per quarter. There was not much grain
being shipped, and vessels to load for the east coast of
Great Britain might then have been chartered at 2s. to
2s. 6d. per quarter for wheat.
At Rostock supplies of new grain had come slowly to
hand, and holders having asked extravagant prices, com-
paratively few bargains had been closed.
The reports from Hamburgh, of Tuesday last, inform
us that advanced rates had been paid for wheat, but that
the trifling nature of the stocks bad prevented much
business being done. Fair qualities, weighing 6olbs. to
60:}lbs., had brought 465. 9d. to 4Ss.; and new Marks of
621bs. weight 50s. per quarter free on board. Barley
had been sought after, and as much as 265. per quarter
had been paid for heavy samples of new, to be shipped
at a Danish port; Saale, on the spot, had risen to 355.
per quarter, and the high terms asked had prevented the
execution of the orders which had been received.
From Antwerp we have letters of the, 10th instant.
Wheg and rye were then in brisk demand, and the

tendency of prices of these articles, and oats, was de-
upwards.
In the French markets considerable excitement seems
to have prevailcd A letter from Marseilles, of the sth
instant, states that the stocks of wheat on the spot had
become greatly reduced ; which, with the t.l:zited state-
naents from hence, and continued orders from Langue-
doc, had caused a further rise in prices. The best
qualities of Polish Odessa were then worth 475. 6d., and
secondary descriptions from 435. 6d. to 465. per qr.
At other ports in the Mediterranean the value of
wheat was, according to the most recent adviceg, equally
high. _ _

—At Leghorn, on the 2d September, there was a lively
demand ; and Marianopoli and Ghirka Wheat, to arrive,
was then paid with 425. per qr. free on board. Indian
corn had also been much inquired for, 275. having been
paid for Galatz. At Trieste this article was quoted 225.
to 235. 6d., and at Venice 245. per qr. free on board,
Freight from the latter port to Great Britain would be Bs.
to Bs. 6d per qr., and ten per cent. for primage.—Mark-
lane Express.
