having been received from the interior, prices had been
well maintained, and few factors having cheat to dispose
of were willing to enter into contracts to delis er in
spring below 525. 6d. to 535. 6d. per quarter, free on
board. From Rostock we learn that the supplies from
the farmers were steadily increasing, which, with the
continued dull reports from Great Britain, had rendered
sellers somewhat more tractable, and some were willing
to enter into engagements to ship good quality in spring
at 50s. per quarter. At Hainburgh business was very
dull on the 9th instant (the latest date to which oar ad-
vices at present reach), and good to fine qualities of red
wheat were then obtainable at from 51s. to 535. 6d. pr
quarter, free on board. Spring corn had also become
dull of sale. Barley had been offering from Denmark
at 255., and Danish oats at 18s. 6d. per quarter, free on
board, in spring.
The reports from the southern and eastern parts of
Europe are not lively, but the value of wheat is relatively
much higher at the different ports in the Mediterranean
than in this country. A letter from Trieste states that,
though the demand for wheat had fallen off materially,
the article was then still held at 41s. to 445. per quarter,
free on board. At Genoa, on December 6, prices were
equally high, and even at Marseilles, where the article
has lately declined materially, fair qualities were held
at 435. to 455. per quarter. The most recent advises
from Odessa inform us that the excitement which had
for some time previous prevailed in the wheat trade, had
in a great measure subsided, but that the advance which
had been established in prices had been fully supported.
The best qualities of Polish were still held at equal to
40s. per quarter on the 21st of November, whilst freight
to England was 14s. per quarter. The bulk of the pur-
chases made there in October and November had been
for shipment to Genoa, Leghorn, Marseilles, Belgium,
and Holland, and it was estimated that only Ebout 50,000
quarters had been shipped to Great Britain.
