Toe prices of corn in Holland and the north of
'
Europe are rather higher than they have been, and are
st:II gradually advancing, and this proceeds from two fi
causes --Ist, the failure of the crops last year in '-;

of supplying Europe with 800,000 quarters
(which is the average annual quantity), will, on the
contrary, be obliged to import; and, indeed, purchs‘es of
c. rn are now making in several ports of the Baltic oa
Russian account. The next cause is, tliat owing to the
incessant rains much of the low land which bad been
sown with winter corn is flooded, and this gives rise to
appre',ensions that the ensuing crop will be deficient.
