The state of the corn market is thus described by
tilr'W. C. B. Caue, Birmingham :—A great quan-
tY of rain has fallen during the week ; the atrno-
isPhere
Is has been mild for the season ; but out-door
lau°llr is much retarded. Dry weather is anxiously
booked for to enable farmers to prepare for spring
so wing, and also for the benefit of the young
heat plant, which, in some districts, is re-
Ported to bo sickly from excessive heat. Wheat
tradeb continues most inactive, and very little
biL/inesa has passed since Thursday last, sellers and
'Vera alike being careless—the former having every
confidence in present rates, while the latter are
cautious and doubtful, preferring to reduce rather
than increase xisting stocks. Foreign arrivals are
more liberal, but the question is, shall we get a
IviSupply of home-grown wheat, during February and
a eh, without a further advance ? At this day's
market there was only a moderate show of English
Wheat, which, where sales were pressed, sold slowly
at a reduction of fully 2s. to 3s. per qr. Old and
of dry new red 61s. to 645., white 645. to 685., per qr.
4961b5. Foreign wheat sold in retail at ls. to :48• per qr. less money.
