With regard to the corn market at Birmingham,
Mr. W. C. B. Cane states as follows :—Up to
Saturday evening weather in this district continued
fine ; at night we had heavy rain ; Sunday and
Monday it was fine, Monday night very heavy rain,
with thunder, which cleared off about nine a.m.
Tuesday, at half-past three p.m., we bad a tre-
mendous storm of thunder, lightning, and rain,
which did considerable damage; Wednesday it was
fine, but more rain at night ; to-day fine. With
the heavy rains above alluded to it is not surprising
that markets have hardened, ani that millers have
shown some anxiety to increase their small stocks
of wheat, as a very considerable portion of the new
crop in this neighbourhood previously intended for
the machine and the mill, direct from the field,
'mist remain for some weeks to become in a tit
state for grinding. I hope before another week
to have gained more reliable information as to
the yiad, which at present is far from satisfactory.
At this day's market there was a good supply of
siwheat for the season, and with an improved de-
inand an advance of ls. to 2s. per qr. was obtained
On all kinds, resulting in a very fair business.
