By the steam-ship Cambria we have advices from
New York of the 30th ult., and accounts of corre-
sponding dates from other parts of America. On
receipt of the English letters by the Great Western,
flour rose immediately half a dollar per barrel at
New York ; but the Cambria left so shortly after
the arrival of the Great Western that time had
hardly been allowed to ascertain the full effects of the
exciting accounts from hence. During the week end-
ing 30th September about ten thousand barrels had
been brought up for shipment, besides which nearly
doubled that quantity had changed bands on speculation ;
the price in both cases having been five dollars per
barrel for good brands of Genesse, and corresponding
terms for other sorts. Subsequently, holders advanced
the price of Western canal to 5 d. 50 c., at which a
s ile or two were made on the day of the departure of
the packet. The exports of flour had amounted to
81,744 barrels from the Ist to the 29th of September 1
whilst, within the same Rerind, 144,444 bushels of

wheat, 74,929 bushela of In-dian corn, and 50,374 bushels
of rye.had been shipped. Stocks of grain and flour on
the spot are represented as small ; and the arrivals from.
the interior, had not kept pace with the demand. The
accounts from the other American markets are of very
little interest, as the news from England had not yet
been received at Baltimore, Philadelphia, &c. ; and
quotations 'from those places are consequently much
lower than those from New York.
An impression seemed to be general on the other side
_ .

of the Atlantic that the wants of Great Britain woull
not, in reality., prove so great as repre,ented; merchants
were, therefore, not di-posed to consign on their own
account, and it is clear that comparatively little will
reach ui f, um that quarttrr except what may be brought
by the British speculator.
All over the continent of Europe the value of wheat
continues steadily to advance, but there does not appear
to have been much business done at any of the Baltic
ports at the enhanced rates demanded
From Dtntzic we learn, under d tte of 10th of October,

that about 9,000 quarters of wheat had changed hands
;hiring the week, but our letters do not inform us of the
particulars of these transactions. Fine high-mixed qua•
Cities were then quoted 533. to 605.. high mixed, 555. to
575., good to fine-mixed,A3s. to 55s , ordinary sorts, 51s.
to 525. per qr. free on board. Freight to London and

the east coast of Great Britain was ss. 9d. to 6s. 3d., and
to Liverpool 6s. 6d. to 7s. per qr.
At Stettin, on the 10th instant, prices of wheat were
nearly nominal, little or nothing having been done there
during tho week, in consequence of the scarcity of the
article. The stocks of old are represented to have been
reduced into a very narrow compass, whilst of the new
crop supplies had scarcely begun to come to market.
The accounts from Rostock are of a precisely similar
character ; but, though the actual transactions had been
so unimportant, this had in no degree lessened the con-
fidence of holders, who had demanded 53s to 555. per
quarter free on board for wheat.
The accounts from Hamburgh, of Tuesday, are not
so lively as the previous advices from thence • in wheat
the operations appear to have been principally for local
consumption, for which purpose equal to 565. to 58s. per
quarter seems to have been paid for the best qualities of
red. Barley had maintained its previous value, and fine
Saale had been in fair request at 345. to 355. per quarter
free on board. For oats, to be shipped from Denmark,
as much as 21s. to 225. per.quarter has been paid ; and
for white boiling peas, from the same destination, 425.
had been realised.

At the principal ports in the Mediterranean atten-
tion has of late been more directed to Indian corn
than to wheat, and large purchases of the former ar-
ticle have been made at Trieste, Leghorn, &c., at from
345. to 365. per quarter for good Galata corn.—Mark-
