REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN

TRADE DURING THE PAST WEEK.
The supplies of wheat coastwise into London have been
quite moderate since our last, and show a material falling
off as compared with previous receipts. The arrivals for the
week ending this (Saturday) evening have amounted to only
8,164 qrs.against 5,393 qrs. received the preceding week'
The quantity exhibited at Mark-lane by land-carriage
samples from the neighbouring counties has also been
small ; notwithstanding which we are unable to report
any improvement in prices. On Wednesday a some-
what firmer tone was assumed by factors, but the weather,
which was then wet, hiving subsequently become more set;
tied, the trade relapsed into a very dull state on Friday ; and
though the scanty nature of the supply prevented any
further fall in prices, considerable difficulty was experiences
in making sales at Monday's reduced terms. Of foreign
wheat the arrivals have been liberal, 16,646 qrs. have been
reported. Some of the cargoes lately received from the
Baltic have been offered from on board ship at lower rates
than similar qualities have been held at in granary ; but n 0
inclination has been manifested to make speculative invest'
ments ; and the business done during the week has bees
restricted to small purchases made by the millers to sstiff
pressing wants. In these cases similar prices to those Pl'
viously current have been realised, say 60s. to 555. for fair
to fine Dantzic, and 475. to 48s. for good heavy parcels of
red. Bonded certificates have been i steady request ; that
cautious manner in which millers have bought lock wheat
has, however, lessened the demand for these documents, and
we have not heard of a higher rate than 10s. 6d. per 4881"5;
having been paid. Hitherto the wheat averages have not
been affected by the late important fall in quotations, ""
next week some of the low sales will come into the returns ;
and unless the Corn Importation Bill be passed very rapid',"
through the Lords, the aggregate average for the kin
will probably have fallen below the point at which t"
minimum duty is fixed under the proposed new scale.
The inquiry for flour has been exceedingly slow throne,.
out the week, and some uncertainty exists as to what is tt_l7.
nominal top price of town made, the millers being
means agreed on that point. Ship flour has also been sell;
at irregular terms, and, on the whole, the turn has been
favour of the purchaser. We have recently received vneV_
large supplies of flour from the United States, and more .
said to be close at hand ; none of this is likely to come it,',lt
consumption until it shall have been decided whether D 2:,
Robert Peel's Bill is, or is not, to pass the Lords, and V the
time this point is ascertained there will probably be near
upon a million of barrels of flour under lock in the Unite%
Kingdom.

FOREIGN CORN TRADE.
By the arrival of the Great Western steam-ship we ere
put in possession of advices from the United States of recent
dates. The continued dull reports from Great Britain tea'
it appears, had considerable effect on prices of flour, h.l4a-
the reduced rates a fair extent of business had been uoli
Letters from New York, of the 7th inst., state that sever
thousand barrels had been bought for export during the
week; prices realised had, however, been nearly a dollar Pesr,.
barrel lower than those previously current, good brands"'
Genessee having been sold at $4 68%c., and other deseq;
tions on equally moderate terms. Fair supplies of wi1,76
had, we are informed, come to hand, and quotations of ui
article had receded ; good red had been freely offered. at
1 doll. per bushel, good to prime white at prices varying
from 108 c. to 112 c. per bushel. From Baltimore we lewal
under date of the 4th of May, that Howard-street flour
been sold there as low 294 dolls. per brl. Shipments were bell's
freely made from the principal ports in the States to Eur?Ptev.'
and there must at present be rather a considerable quantity
of bread stuffs on passage from thence. A on
In the Baltic less impression seems to have been rae-e.
prices of wheat by the recent important fall in the Eng:if
markets than might have been expected; this may be Ptela
accounted for by the fact, that the decline here h owing"
principally on British, the expectation of the duty to
off having prevented the holders of bonded giving way
any extent.
Letters from Dantzic, of the 16th instant, state that,htbset
supplies of wheat from Poland had wholly ceased ; end .‘ctly
though the demand for the article had been on a stn
retail scale, its value had not suffered any material depr,e.rat
tion. The best samples of old high-mixed were then bell 4
51s. to 535., good qualities at 48s. to 495., and other sorts ,74
prices varying from 445. to 475. per qr. Vessels to 1070,
wheat for London might have been chartered at 35. 9"'
4s. 3d., and to Liverpool at 4s. 6d. to ss. per qr.
At Rostock, Stettin, and neighbouring markets, sew'Seo
anything appears to have been done in wheat, the few on,
received having been limited too low to admit of their Oa
cution. Below 455. to 465. per qr. free on board there h. 7,,
been no sellers at the places named, whilst such qualities 06;
not at the present moment worth more in London than 40,
to 478. ; unless, therefore, prices give way on the other Sip
or rise here, no opportunity will be afforded for prelit-$
business.
The Hamburgh advices of Tuesday last, state that v
few purchases of wheat had been made there since the li,
vious post day, either for shipment or for local consumllo
Wahren, weighing 621bs. to 62%1b5., was then still hetot
48s. 6d., and light 591bs. to 591/lbs. Seale qualities had
been sold below 445. per qr.
From Holland the reports are whelly without interestFi,sfe
but in the Belgian markets some business appears to
been done at full prices.
From the southern and eastern parts of Europe the acl,s
are also dull, and prices of wheat seem to be graa"—
tending downwards all over the continent. Thate 5 ..„8?
receive larger supplies of foreign wheat during the surnfro
and autumn than we were led to expect can no longer of
questioned, and the reported deficiency in the last cr°,l:L.,ol
wheat appears to have been as much exaggerated AL"'
as the potato disease has been magnified at home.
There are good stocks held at Marseilles, Leg'-
Trieste, &c. ; and such qualities as are usually expolitr
from those and neighbouring ports were obtainable, ac ,e
ing to the latest accounts, at from 355. to 365, per qr. iL"
on board.
Further east the value of wheat has also fallen of Is„tr,i
and we learn from Odessa, under date of the llth May, t"„
very good Polish had been sold there at equal to 30s. Per"
free on board.—Mark-lane Express.
