THE FOREIGN CORN TRADE.

We have had several arrivals from America this
week by packet-ships, the latest bringing New York
advices of the Ist of September. The start in
the value of wheat here was not then known
there, still prices of flour had rather tended upwards
in consequence of a falling off in the supplies.
Fair qualities of Western Canal were then held at
4d. 12ie. per brl., and there were no sellers of prime
Genessee wheat below 90c. per bushel. At Philadel-
phia, on the 21st ult., flour was rather dull of sale, and
fair fresh- ground qualities were then obtainable at
3d. 87 }c. to 4d. per brl. Old red wheat was then held
at 80s. to 82c., and new at 70c. to 753. per bushel. From
Baltimore we have also accounts of the 31st of August.
floward-street flour was then freely offered at 3d. 871-e.
to 3d. 90c. per brl., with bit few takers. Wheat had
come freely to hand, and prime parcels of red had been
sold at 78c. to 80e. per bushel.
By our advices from the north of Europe we learn that
great excitement had been casued by the advance in the
value of wheat in the English markets. From Daetzic we
have letters of the 19th of September, which inform us that
about 730 lasts of wheat had changed hands there during
the week, consisting mostly of secondary and ordinary
qualities. For really fine high-mixed parcels extrava-
gantly high terms had been asked, say 535. to 555. per
qr. ; but fine mixed, of 601bs. to 611b5., had been sold at
50s. to 50s. 6d., and ordinary mixed, weighing 591bs. per
bushel, at 475. per qr. free on board. The only articles
in which any business had been done, besides wheat,
had been rye and peas ; the former had' found buyers
at 395., and the latter at 40s. per qr. The wheat harvest
is generally reported to have yielded well in Upper, but
indifferently in Lower Poland. The quality of the
Upper Polish wheat is described as very fine, and the
weight per bushel unusually heavy.
The reports from Rostock relative to the result of the
wheat harvest are not favourable : the colour of the
new wheat is said to be good, but the weight light, say
591bs. per bushel. No supplies had yet been brought
forward, nor was it expected that the farmers would
bring forward any quantity till the end of October.
Stocks of old wheat were, we are informed, nearly ex-
hausted, and very little business had, consequently,
been done.

At Stettin, on the 19th inst., holders hardly knew what
prices to ask, and 50s. per qr., free on board, had actually
been paid at that port for a parcel of old Uckeraiark. The
high pretensions of sellers had of course checked business,
and but few bargains had been closed during the week.
Fair supplies of barley had come to hand, and for fine
malting qualities 30s. per qr. had been realised. Vessels
were then offering to load wheat to the east coast of Great
Britain at 2s. to 2s. 3d., to the British Channel at 2s. 9d.,
to the west coast at 35., and to the east coast of Ireland
at 3s. 3d. per qr.
From Hamburg we learn that comparatively little
business has been done in wheat since the previous post-
day, in consequence of the very high terms asked. New
red Marks of 601bs. weight had, however, been sold at
50s. 9d.; and for 621 b. parcels 535. per quarter free on
board had been obtained. There had been few offers
from outports, and no contracts had been closed. Barley
to be shipped from. Danish ports had, on the other hand,
met with a good deal of attention, at enhanced rates, as
much as 255. to 265. per qr. having been paid fur good
heavy qualities.

In-the southern countries of Europe, wheat is even
higher than at Baltic ports; and it is quite evident that
no supplies of consequence can reach us from the east-
ward of Gibraltar.

A letter from Odessa, of the 11th Sept., informs us
that upwards of 20,000 chests wheat had been brought
there on Italian and Greek account; and that equal to
31s. per qr., free on board, had been paid for the best
qualities.—Mark-lane Express.

had been lai:1 up for aconsiderable time with a diseased ankle ; tins pain
was often almost maddening. By bad treatment, humours settled in
her head and other parts, causing incessant and distracting head-

numerous medical men without obtaining ties least benefit; but, not-
withstanding, Holloway's Ointment and Pills cured her, and made
