;rhe state of the corn market is thus described by
„it tr. W. C. B. Cane, Birmingham :—A great quan-
ty of
rain has fallen during the week ; the atmo-
i'Pnere
has been mild for the season ; but out-door
labour is much retarded. Dry weather is anxiously
B°4e(l for to enable farmers to prepare for spring
:hwing, and also for the benefit of the young
,eat Plant, which, in some districts, is re-
r„__,rted to be sickly from excessive heat. Wheat
15"14e continues most inactive, and very little
buyers
has passed since Thursday last, sellers and
confidence
alike being careless—the former having every
:nfidence in present rates, while the latter are
than
and doubtful, preferring to reduce rather
an increase -..,.xisting stocks. Foreign arrivals are
more liberal, but the question is, shall we get a
b;13131y of home-grown wheat, during February and
arch, without a further advance ? At this day's
Zarket there was only a moderate show of English
heat, which, where sales were pressed, sold slowly
da reduction of fully 2s. to 3s. per qr. Old and
o? new red 61s. to 645., white 645. to 685., per qr.
2,.."61h5. Foreign wheat sold in retail at Is. to
aper qr. less money.
