Review of the British Corn Trade.

(Front Bell's Weekly Messenger.)
The supply of wheat continues to be short from
Essex and Kent. Coming forward in no better
condition, the trade on Monday was still dull, and
even the best samples could not be disposed of with-
out submitting to a decline of ls. per quarter;
whilst those in a very damp state were sold to a
limited extent at a reduction in price of is. to 2s.
per quarter. Being about as much deteriorated in
value by the very soft state in which all parcels of
new come to market, and so long as threshing goes
on while the weather is so unfavourable, no improve-
ment can be expected in the condition of any ; even
old descriptions are more or less affected by the
dampness of the atmosphere. The demand for
foreign was still in retail, but in the better sorts no
quotable change took place ; whilst common quali-
ties of Russian might have been bought on lower
terms, particularly those from Odessa. In Saxonkaa
the business was very limited, as the factors would
not submit to any reduction which would have
brought either town or country buyers forward.
These are much liked by all millers, and it is rather
surprising that they are not used more extensively
now that the samples of home-grown are so soft.
At Mark-lane, on Wednesday, there 'were very
limited supplies of English, and quite short imports
of foreign. The few parcels of English in good
condition realised Monday's reduced rates, whilst
foreign samples were held for as much money.
The arrivals of English at Mark-lane on Friday
were very moderate, and the imports of foreign
were limited. A few dry samples of home-grown
sold at previous rates, but damp parcels were not
inquired after.

The arrivals of English barley for Monday's mar-
ket were 2,670 quarters coastwise and by the rail-
ways ; from Scotland there were 423 quarters, with
imports of foreign amounting to 3,405 quarters,
nearly the whole of which came from France, the
exception being 280 quarters from Hamburg. Fine
English malting qualities commanded a good steady
sale at the full prices of last week ; discoloured and
inferior descriptions met a dull sale at a reduction
of is. per quarter, whilst choice grinding sorts were
taken off steadily, without any quotable variation in
price. Tho cargoes from France which arrive in
good condition have met a steady sale, commanding
30s. per quarter, weighed 531 b. per bushel. The
deliveries in the agricultural districts continue to
fall off weekly, and choice qualities are selling on
railer higher terms. The quantity returned this
week is 14,220 quarters less than the previous one.
At Mark-lane, on Friday, the arrivals coastwise
were 1,710 quarters, with imports of foreign only
amounting to. 320 quarters. There was a steady
sale for the best malting qualities of English, at
the full prices of Monday. Inferior sorts were
difficult of disposal, but the factors did not seem
inclined to give "way any further on these descrip-
tions, as they can be manufactured into a fair use-
ful quality of malt, and sold at very reasonable
rates to the small ale brewers.

There was a very short supply of wheat from
Essex and Kent this (Monday) morning; thq of
barley, beans, and peas was quite moderate, with
a few fresh arrivals of oats from Scotland.
There were fair imports of foreign oats ; those of
other articles of the trade were to a limited extent.
English wheat met a dull sale, owing to the con-
dition being so damp ; there was no change in the
prices of any description. Foreign wheat was in
retail demand, at last week's prices, with, however,
rather more inquiry for useful Russians. Town
flour was unaltered ; country marks were quite as
dear. Americans and Spanish steady in value and
demand. Malting barley was in fair request, at
full prices for the best. Secondary sorts remain
dull. A limited extent of business was transacted
in oats, at about previous quotations for foreign ;
but, with an increased supply of Scotch, these were
rather cheaper to sell.
