REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN
TRADE, DURING THE PAST WEEK.
The weather was, in the early part of the week, wet,
and the ice, by which many of the canals and water-
courses Mere blocked up when we last addressed our
reader, has entirely disappeared. There is, conse-
quently, no longer any impediment to the conveyance
of gia-n by water-carriage ; and if similar weather
should 1 ave been experienced on the Continent, scme
of the ) ivers there have probably been set free from their
icy bonds: in which case, a few more cargo, s of corn
might probably reach us from the north of Europe. The
change from severe frost to comparatively mild weather
would, under ordinary circumstances, have been followed
by a re-action in the trade; but we are at present placed
in such a pi caliar position, that past experience scarcely
affords a parallel. Events which in common seasons
might have a great influence pass now without producing
any effect ; and so has it been with the recent change in
the weather. The facility afforded by the re-opening of
the inland navigation to procure supplies, is viewed as
favourable rather than otherwise ; and no one appears
for a moment to believe that the demand will not prove
suffviiently extensive to take off all the corn the farmers
are likely to be enabled to bring forward. That the
merchants, millers, end bakers are generally but indif-
ferently stocked in all parts of the kingdom, is a fact
which admits cf no question ; and an opinion is daily
gaining ground, that the liberal manner in which the
growers have brought forward their wheat, ever since
harvest, has so greatly diminished their stocks, as to
leave much less on hand than is generally the case at this
period of the year. Meanwhile, the old foreign wheat
is fast disappearing from our granaries. At the princi-
pal ports of the west coast, neatly a clearance has been
made by shipments to Ireland; en I the demand from the
rame quarter is beginning to tell on the Lonclan stocks.
All that has hitherto been sent from England to the
sister isle has gone into consumption as soon as received:
no accumulation has taken plac r there, and as it is quite
evident that with the loss of th-
