THE BEITISH CORN TRADE.

(From the Mark Lane Express.)

Although we have frequently had very cold and
piercing winds from the east and north, the weather
of the past week was dry, and finished warm and
genial. The crops have consequently been making
headway, and a good amount of bay has been
stacked. The wheat is passing into ear, and no new
disaster has befallen it beyond the injuries
of winter and the severities of March and
May. In ordinary times this season of pro-
gress would have been one of steady if not
heavy decline ; but many localities being pretty well
cleared out, prices on the whole have rather mended
than fallen worse. It is the same in foreign coun-
tries. The French markets, e►nbracing in their
scope different climates, report variously. Some
wheat has been reaped in the south that is reported
to weigh 64 to Gslbs. per bushel ; but the oats
gathered as yet have been light, and the rapeseed
turns out very deficient. Whilst we have had it
dry, they have in some places been al►nost floode,l,
and the heaviest crops have been laid as
by a roller, with great doubts of their recovery ;
but the poor and hungry crops have improved. An
average yield is still not expected.. There are fears
of the same kind in Belgium, Holland, Germany,
and Russia; yet no one with anything to sell seems
disposed to stand the brunt of harvest-time and the
few months immediately succeeding. After all, if
compared with last year's unremunerative rates,
prices have been high, still in many years these
have been much higher, and had any European war
been raging with doubtful issue consumers might
have bad 10s. to 20s. per qr. more to pay, and we
now do not know what may happen in the strange
fluctuations of the weather. The present season has
hitherto confirmed what we have often heard as to
the power of resistance in the wheat plant to almost
any extremity of cold, but we shall see shortly
whether the variations experienced will have les-
sened the produce or lowered the quality. New
York has lately ceased the retrograde movement as
regards flour, but the arrival of more shipmenti of
Californian wheat from England has kept the trade
extremely dull, and nearly all, grain has suffered
with this. Although the present: rates at New
York are not likely to be maintained, the clearance
of stocks, the bursting of the banks of the Missis-
sippi, and the unsettled state of the country, seem
against prospective low prices.
